Today in the workshop .....

Could you drill a convenient hole in the plaster cast, nut and bolt so bolt drops down underneath and attach earth, assuming you mean to prevent everything going skew whiff. Use washers if needed.

 

[Craig-S]

I would welcome any and all suggestions as to how to get a good earth without disturbing the layout, Once I have that lot tacked together the rest will be easy.

cut the boobs off, attach a couple of funnels and go the madonna route or put in a couple of tubes where the N's should be and go for machine gun jubblies

In the range with a bullet proof vest on, on second thoughts, best not somebody will get tempted!

I've got a police issue stab / bullet proof vest (missing the plates unfortunately) if you wanted it.

Perhaps screw a bolt in a nut and on the bench either side on all six faces add another nut and MIG tack weld the touching faces .. that should give you a large enough starting point .. hot melt glue the other nuts in place so they touch and when cool tack them up . Maybe use a range of different nuts to cover the curves .

Probably up to North Wales then onto the M6 and up. Not sure when I'm coming back.

Either setting off Saturday late afternoon and stopping off with a friend in Ruthin overnight or setting off silly O clock on Sunday.

Yes, we can make that work. Anywhere on the M6 works. I will call you in the morning.
