I'd love to see the copper's notebook once he'd finished listing any identifiable features to look for.

Well if stripping off the plastics and tank only takes me 15-20 mins now and I only have to do it once then it would likely be done in less than 4hrs
I'm guessing you could probably disassemble/assemble that bike blindfolded by now too?

Don't be daft, they wouldn't even turn up unless I had said I had been misgendered.I'd love to see the copper's notebook once he'd finished listing any identifiable features to look for.

Made 2 new timing pins. Genuine VW ones are £20+ each, i have others suitable but felt the need to make my own. 6mm stainless with ball knobs.
Also modified a VW crank pulley lock. Newer 2.0 CR engines use the same tool as 1.9s, but with a shorter pulley so the tool sticks out. Cut a bit off it, finished the surface, made a new pin and fitted another ball knob.

....after seeing the price on Fiamma brackets, and the need to drill holes in the roof, to mount the awning on my van 
, I decided to get creative with some 3mm plate. First part is complete, and fits nicely. Just need to come up with some brackets to mount to the nearside roof bar next. Reminded me of another side project, I'll have to make a small brake press attachment for my 15Te press when i get time, putting a neat bend into 3mm plate without resorting to violence in the bench vice was tricky, but with the safety squints on it did the job

I can see it bugging you all winter and being rectified!Stripped off the anodising then re-anodised and this time I got the logo lasered in the correct position

Are you going to sort the screw holes at the same time?Just being pedantic

Nope, it won't bug me because it is spot on or my eyes and squint, either way it looks good to meStill looks a little to the right of the rebate. I can see it bugging you all winter and being rectified!

Not sure what you mean by the screw holes but if it is just the wee bits where the titanium wire was holding and thus not anodised then that is no problem to me as they will be covered by the screws

After two floods in seven years and the death (bearings) of the previous washing machine, I decided to raise the w/m and tumble drier off the floor by around a foot or so.
Room enough for the t/d, new w/m and the old w/m side by side.
I really noticed the weight of the w/ms so screwed some holey strip across a few joists and used a 1/2T chain hoist to get them in place.
@owas was kind enough to supply the straps - two joined end to end and another two x-ways, meeting at the top.
Still got a stand to make for the chest freezer.

Don’t know if I would show the shortened rope! Makes me think mistakes were made!
