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

[brewdexta]

How much out of interest?

£900 quid a piece from Solar Sparky. I could probably have shaved a few quid off elsewhere but Solar/Trade Sparky have been excellent at delivery. If I had more time I would probably look at other solutions, ex-EV batteries etc. but far too busy at the moment.

Thats probably the best thing to do with that bread, I wouldnt eat it! good for stuffing up pipes if you've got a continuous trickle and cant get the heat in it to solder

This arrived today from the EU



Its a seal kit for an ARB air locker that will be fitted to a Dana 30

Unobtainable in the UK, apparently not available from ARB (according to Devon 4x4)

Several USA sites advertise them but don't have stock and can't get them but Google search turns up 1 on the Euro 4x4 site

VAT and import duty had to be paid so not a cheap purchase

Looking at it, if I knew the dimensions I could have made one

Well you've got them now , nice side line maybe ? .

 

[4String.]

Enough to top up the log store for next winter and it's now tidy behind the summer house .


And a great sense of wellbeing as today was my last day in a wagon. Start the new job next week running a forwarder in a timber yard so there'll be no more 3am starts on Mondays, no more sleeping in a tin box, and no more sitting for hours on end in interminable roadworks or queues caused by people who can't drive .

TYA, I reckon that socket set is a Gedore, I bought a 3/8 drive AF set when on my first job after I left school in 1965. Still got the box, ratchet & some of the sockets, the extension bar is still being used. It was quality stuff then. Am I right?
