Stuff you have fixed today

Had a mad day spannering today.

Ranger engine had lost its newness so swapped that out for an engine off the bay of thieves, the man was quite hard to understand but I did manage to assure him the thing would be arriving back via his roof if it was not as described.

Dead one.

New/old one and its a gem

Transit pump had gone mammaries up so stripped that out ready for the new one. £650 later

Volvo urban artic needed a new header tank and a dodgy starter connection sorting out.

A bit too spendy if buying new, I bought a lot of this gear including the manual lug crimper off our tool supplier when he shut down, they used to supply the MOD and RAE so no tosh on the shelves

We used them for putting rubber sleeves over the end of cables back in my BT apprenticeship days. Probably use shrink wrap today.

I used a lot in the early 2000's.
The pink rubber sleeves are still used on Plessey style plugs.
They were nicked name, Virgins easers in the forces.

Replaced the liner on my old SIP MAG welder after advice on here.
Horrible job but it does work better!
I had to 'modify' the feed but its reversible to standard if it didn't work.
Used a standard Parweld liner and a 12mm nylon nut as a spacer.
