But does the gun still elevate when the hatch is twiddled?

Know precisely where the trailer and cab are for mine . . .

Yes it does, plus a match can be fired.

A lit one I presume.

 

[Jan-DIY]

Really do not know what it is.
But I broke something.
Strange piece of torch.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A lit one I presume.

Would I do a thing like that?

Unless I'm mistaken, that chimney is part of a candlestick?

Did someone say 4 candles....or fork handles

The engine started life as a Bowman engine. But it lost it's base mounted chimney.

Then some one, with much neatless, has fitted a chimney from a German engine.

Well this arrived today. I have absolutely no idea why? I have not ordered it and honestly, I don't know what it does:



It is a ratchet of some sort, anyone know?

Nope, just checked all my purchases, this was not in the list! If anyone could help me out here and tell me what it is actually for I would be grateful?

This was delivered, addressed to me and I know it's through ebay as my name is spelled wrong (it is wrong on ebay but I have never tried to change it, it is useful) but I have not ordered this as I am clueless as to what it is for?

It is a ratchet for working a scissor style jack

 

[AVI_8]

Got a new oscillating multi tool today having spent about 2 hours looking for the one I had then remembered I leant it to someone a few months ago, asked him for it back to be told he returned it a while ago, which I know he didn’t
You live and learn!
Last time I will ever loan any of my tools again

Probably one of those scams where they ship something cheap to an address to be able to put fake reviews https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/01/24/got-a-package-you-didnt-order-it-could-be-a-scam

I bet if you did away with the electronic suspension the ignition wouldn't "talk" to the security system or the lights etc.

I believe there is a way to disable the electronic suspension but would need a dealer to do it.

I was showing a guy how to enable the heated grips and another guy mentioned this, I never even noticed it but it means if the worst were to happen then I wouldn't even need the dealer to do it

... further material:

I am faced with the task of making a gibstrip for the new long cross support for the ML7.

This is a real challenge for me and requires some effort, so I better use exactly the right material from the start.

I have asked around here but also elsewhere, I have researched and even consulted books

Of course, cast iron is widely used, especially gray cast iron and particularly that in which the graphite is in spherical instead of lamellar form. I ordered that as an alternative and a backup, I showed it here.

Brass was also mentioned, but this did not come off well at all in reference books for this purpose.

There is one material that is exceptionally well suited for the pupose, but I have difficulty finding the English equivalent for it:

Whenever I look up "Rotguss" (like "RedCast") I get the translation "gunmetal" which is not entirely applicable, one reads also red brass, multi-material- or machine bronze.

When translated to English it should be something more like "leaded red brass", in French "bronze d'étain au zinc", in Italian "ottone rosso".


What is meant in any case is CuSn7Zn4Pb7 C, (C here for Cast not Carbon) in this application specifically RG7 for German "RotGuss7" according to the CC493K standard.

This is characterized not only by its excellent sliding properties under normal conditions, but also by its superior emergency running properties when lubrication fails.

Please make us all a little smarter:

You on the island/s may have invented that stuff long before us, what's the name of this fabulous alloy in your parlance???


Thanks

Good night

That's because brass is a terrible material to make a gib strip from. Iron, steel, bronze but not brass. I know that there are several flavours of it and some would actually be suitable but none are the type that would typically be used, people will always go for the horrible gummy smeary type that's easy to get hold of in strips down the DIY store.
