Was that Chard's Mat?
Used them a couple of times. The chap that seemed to run it was a bit odd, but great service and good prices.

On a Monday no less, whatever next?!
No need to apologise for the chatty nature of the video. It still went too quickly!
No prototype is ever perfect straight out of the tin, it was inevitable there would be some fine tuning and that's all moving that subframe was, a bit of fine tuning. Don't beat yourself up about it.
P.S. GET SOME HEATING YOU TIGHTWAD!

I know right! I’d gotten used to not posting videos
I don’t mind chatting to the camera but there’s always a cohort of people that skip it because it’s “boring” but an explanation was required.
I’m just glad it’s done now. Demoralising going over work you’ve already done (I have to do the same in the front too) but it’s a feature of learning things as you go along lol.
I’m not paying to heat a 7x5 meter semi insulated mini house out the back garden

Can't remember, but from your description of the bloke, seems entirely likely.

Hi Fella, hope alls well in your neck of the woods, can I ask your opinion ? as I see you have a ewm, think you have a mig by them, been offered second hand 180 pulse, know its history guy had it from new, are they adjustable on manual settings as in can you turn pulse on/off and fully use , an basically how do you rate it.cheers Arther
now that i know how to use mine i think its up there with one of the best ones ive use, admittedly that is a small list.
Ive not regretted buying either of my EWM machines

Hi Jaffman,
Thanks for posting the video!
I take it there is a reason you can't just use the rear tank mounting bolts, that are already there, for the rear strap?
because i put the mounts there. I could remove the mounts, but if im doing that I have multiple improvments id like to do to the tank which involves remaking it LOL.
something I can do in the future probably
Yes...
But the strengthening plate on the mount gets in the way. It would need modification at least.

Late to the party here, seems I've missed this week's instalment.

Are those tank attaching brackets not strong enough?
Or belt and braces philosophy?
I enjoyed the video, not all plain sailing, ever...

yeah this forum is weird for the attention my weekly updates gets lol. Sometimes there’s chat about an episode from a lot of people other times it’s tumbleweed
im not happy with the mounts on the tank. I feel like a full tank of fuel would fatigue them over time and yes I’m doing belt and braces I suppose
I can react to 6 month old videos if you like

do what you like, it wasn't a criticism just an observation lol
the whole idea was a build diary anyway so if you want to talk about things that happened 6 months ago its good because you'll remind me what i done
