Today UPS man came by. Nice man quick clean drop and away.
Left me 2 small parcels.

Shame the useless fools from UPC, Frome, who do not understand simple instructions. But I did find the item in the bin. Not left with neighbour.

But before I drink all of @slim_boy_fat good whisky.
This is what I got.


A set od seal kits, not to blame the UPS man for the items being shaken up. It was the design of the plastic case.




A set of tiny drills bits and a drill.
Shame the cardboard box they came in was trashed by the water in the bin, Thanks UPC.

What's that?

Just picked up an original 1951 Matchless single parts list for the G80 engine I am rebuilding, goes with the 1953, 54, 55 and 56 parts lists I already have for other projects. Also have acquired F.W Neill's Matchless guides 1933 to 1950 and 1945 to 1960.

 

[Seadog]

The Neill's are excellent books. Got a couple in my collection.

View attachment 255174View attachment 255175 View attachment 255174 A 5 inch tailstock for the rotating table. However, it needs to be 51/4, I assume tilting it up won't do it?

Hmm, I considered redrilling it, but it wouldn't be a whole hole away (1/4 inch), so looks like i'll make a base plate to raise it.

I have Ariel by C.W.Waller too from when I had a Red Hunter, covering 1933 to 1950:

The adverts are interesting:

i would be surprised to see Honda advertising in a Fireblade Haynes manual. Great advert too - " The ideal mount for the average rider" - now there is a 1950's advertising slogan
Never mind Energol - The Oiliest Oil:

or providing free timing disks from an engine reconditioner:

I have a copy of Triumph Twins by A. St. J. Masters somewhere too.

A bygone era, sadly. I remember Glanfield Lawrence. Went there with a mate in the 1970s to get some Isetta spares. Long gone.

A suitcase full of hammers!

10 meters of 8mm copper pipe and T fittings, plan to make a compressed air heat exchanger to go between pump and tank, compact as possible so it can remain permentently fitted and still portable.

I often think that this pipe coiled in a filled water tank tucked in the corner outside would be as good as it gets regarding heat exchanging...ive found in the past even going through 10M of copper pipe the air is still warm and moist (ooer) if just exchanging room temps

Well, yesterday, to be exact. A Dell Precision Tower 5810, (and a new Asus 24” monitor), 64 gig ram, and a terrapin of storage, a graphics card with bigger capacity than I knew possible, and fusion 360 (sadly for personal use, not professional). Better go and learn how to use it now.

I am a happy bunny, and very fortunate to have got hold of such a beast.

Only a terrapin, I think you will need a turtle of storage to run fusion 360

 

[mrsbruce]

It’s a very hard working terrapin, I’ll have you know, and is more knowledgeable about fusion 360 than I am.

Because of the large spec I genuinely thought it was a computer term for larger than a terrabyte until google put me right
