Brilliant bits of kit. I have a couple of them that I use regularly. Restore it.

We bought something similar last year, has it got a compartment at the back for water and an ice pack?

I picked up an evaporative air cooler from the local Facebook recycle group, that has a drawer for water and an optional ice pack. The lady had trouble giving it away in October, seems as if everyone had forgotten how warm it was in summer.

If it doesn't have a provision, I've found that sticking a bowl of water in front can have a small cooling effect as the airflow goes across it. Probably less so for a narrow tall fan.

More tool organisers. Dont understand why these are sooo hard to find.

Probably cos there's not much demand for them.

Possibly because those that buy them don't tell others where they bought them.

Go on, tell us where you got them, this isn't fight club.

Probably because a modern mechanics garage is full of computer crap and diagnostic crap. The old fashioned tools are becoming obsolete

At the better part of £40 posted to me they can stay there. Granted they've upped the postage because of where I live and are likely too ignorant to know of Royal Mail's universal service obligation, but it's not the principle, it's the money.

Bought one of those because apparently hard to find
It's for the rally car project
I preferred to get one of those because I will go for the low boost route ,so it would more suitable for the application
Maybe 0.6 or 0.8 bar peak
Being air cooled engine with only 2 deck bearing no even sputter type
With 750 ,800cc
Let's say 40 to 50hp once forged adding 10psi it should be able to put out roughly 70hp which is enough to have fun with it without stressing to much the gearbox born for the original 20hp.
Plus the engine block isn't strong enough to put out more power and the fact it's air cooled is another limitation but it's for fun .
Hopefully a day I'll post pictures of the complete car

Try Ernst. They make similar. Possible even the snap on ones as they are almost identical

Not heard of them before. And judging by the price of their bits of Plastic, its the last time

To kit a large box out with all their organisers would be a in the hundreds. Crazy when some products come with better packing to be thrown away.

 

[James1979]

Yeah they are a bit spendy but they come up on the bay so it’s a useful search term

Just done a EB search. Yup loads of stuff comes up. Yet doesnt when I search for tool organiser, or such

I passed my site safety tests today I had to do a two day course just so I can attend a 2 hour meeting at a power station such fun........

I do like the Ernst stuff but as you say can be a pricey for plastic stuff . Is all still made in the U S of A .

More goodies,the nicest headlamp I’ve used so far slim enough so you don’t keep knocking it in tight gaps,plus pop top roof fittings for the camper.
