Today I acquired...........

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Yesterday I acquired an mot failure

Today I acquired an MOT pass

Nothing unexpected. Front pads and disks. (not done yet by me as still good mid year and was aware of disks.)
Rear fog light. Never used so didn't trip the dash warning and rear numberplate light. Assume it was the door connection pins again.

Flagged emissions first test by a small amount. Given the time it spent with the wrong injectors fitted it's not too much of a suprise.
Passed second time no issues.

And breathe again

A Draper seal removing tool plus some 1/4" hex to square drive UJ's

Cool. 41mm at the nose. -19mm offset 9.5mm each side gives me 22mm with a 30mm Bush standard stair tread is 22mm bargain sliding bit visible near my sons hand is to gauge run rise by the looks of it. Couple of digs to fill with jbweld but can't complain

Today I got a Rugged Roads rack plate for the Twin.

Got the Kriega loops on but still need to chop the tails to length.

Kriega US20 fits fine

Not my circus, not my monkey!

It was some cretin that one of my customers used to employ. The upshot was that I got paid to fit a cab tilt pump to it. Win win

That’s nice. Kriega is top kit

 

[25.4_mechanic]

Expected for days, sent early by the seller, stuck several times in some distribution centre, arrived in the village today on the vehicle of the "Christmas relief delivery man", who in his electric vehicle with defective handbrake had very little joy on this particular day in our village with 60m altitude difference .

Long after dark, I finally spotted the poor man at the bottom of our road and sent the boys to him.

At last!

The long-awaited machine spirit level to align the little Myford.

Quite heavy. The accuracy is given as "indicator line x 0.3mm/m", which, with this very good readability, is good enough for me for now.

The company still exists, today in the fourth family generation as "Roeckle Neigungsmesstechnik e.K.". (Roeckle inclinometer technology).

Not quite my price range, but for people who earn their money with production machines, the prices start very moderate, I was surprised.

Good evening to all

Do they do them for different bikes

Do they do them for different bikes

Yes but so do others. Depends what you have, Rugged Roads tend to be more for Adventure style bikes.

Thats one ugly looking delivery vehicle! what manufacturer is the van any ideas?

 

[GraemeVW]

My Chinese diesel heater turned up.
Been going through the parts and can't say I'm impressed with the exhaust tube!
Seam welded, then ridged? Weld has opened up at the bottom of the ridges then split wide open when they bent it to fit in the box.

Guess I'll be ordering a proper twin wall exhaust then.

Currently sorting out mounting it all. I bought it from vevor for £82 delivered. Came with 2 silencers for some reason, and a t piece and 2 bits of vent tubing for the outlet. I went with a simple dial controller as I figured it was less Chinese stuff to go wrong.
I'll post some pics when it's installed.

My neighbour is moving and asked if I would like this delightful 6" Wadkin planer

Ugly? Yes. But quite good. Here we have a bunch of scatterd villages and hamlets and these E-Cars manage to do a whole day full of parcels.
They are even better in citys.

This I squeezed through an automatic translator, it's about this topic and much too much to type:

"Deutsche Post DHL plans 37,000 e-transporters by 2025, new StreetScooter version

[...} E-transporters, charging infrastructure & e-trikes.

Deutsche Post DHL Group had acquired Aachen-based electric van startup StreetScooter in 2014 to electrify its delivery fleet. However, the plans turned out not to be commercially viable, so StreetScooter has been converted into a pure operator of the existing fleet since last year. Production of new vehicles was actually scheduled to end in 2020, but was then extended by another year. Now there are concrete figures on the planned further production.

With currently more than 15,000 StreetScooter-branded electric vans, Deutsche Post DHL says it is by far the largest e-fleet operator in Europe and beyond. In 2022, the fleet will grow to about 21,500 StreetScooters and a new model will be added, it said: The first prototypes of the "StreetScooter Gigabox" (cover photo) with a load volume of 12 cubic meters and space for around 240 parcels are to be deployed starting this year. By 2025, the delivery fleet will then comprise a total of 37,000 e-vehicles, including e-commercial vehicles from established car manufacturers.

According to Swiss Post, electric vehicles are better suited than combustion engines for journeys with start-stop traffic, as is common in letter and parcel delivery. Each vehicle saves around four tons of CO2 emissions per year compared to a conventional vehicle. By 2025, the company will have reduced its annual CO2 emissions by 150,000 tons. Deutsche Post DHL also wants to adapt the charging infrastructure to the further expansion of the e-fleet. It is already the largest private charging infrastructure operator in the country, with 20,000 charging points at its operating sites. The electric fleet will be supplemented by 8,000 e-bikes and around 9,000 e-trikes, three-wheeled electrically powered cargo bikes. By 2025, Deutsche Post will have purchased a further 5,000 e-trikes. [...}"

It must be the day for heater deliveries

Noticeably warmer than my old Ebespacher D2.
Just need to decide where I'm going to permanently mount it.
