Screw looks identical to a monkeybar frame in the back of our fumehoods at uni. It is used to attach all kinds of equipment and glassware, but we don't have burners like that.

This week has been little expensive
Bought this cylinder head for the FIAT 126 TURBO project
300 euros
It's from a fiat panda 30 (2 cylinder 30HP )
Bought because its double ported intake ,34.5 mm intake valves ,30mm exhaust valves
Original 126p and 500 are 30mm intake and 28mm exhaust single port intake 28mm carb .
It's a good starting point for a custom head but requires a better cooling , because they tend to crack between the valves this it's not.
Keeping the engine complete stock just this head should make it 30hp , gaining 8hp from original which is 36.6% more power than stock
I'll do porting job , change exhaust valves maybe because of heat evacuation .
I might initially not modify the engine displacement.

Then this morning I've asked for renting a car for a wedding.
They wants 10k euros caution ,we are considering other options

Then I've bought this 230 euros
It has to be adjusted to my physic few weeks before the wedding cause I want to look great for the occasion

Looking good my man.

Today I acquired...a mixed bag of screws...and some useful knowledge.

Turns out our local B&Q do a pick&mix on screws...very handy as it saves buying the boxes. I have so many screws...but needed a hand full of a specific size today.

Just fill the bag with whatever screws you like...seal and scan to check out...hassle free!

I hate random bags of assorted screws.

It just me, not you, as I say to my wife.

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Me too...but I decided to fill with screws I didn't have. I have 1 compartment specifically for random sizes

I'm really not anal, but I hate drawers / boxes of mixed stuff.

We've got a box of thousands of stainless and alu rivets, at work, I don't really suffer from OCD, but if anyone did it would be a nightmare.

Can't stand mixed boxes of stuff.

Yesterday I acquired a set of hgv brake rollers, dvsa are now wanting brake roller tests at ever PMI so I thought best to get some.

Heavy duty indeed by the look of them now you just need to build something to put them in
