This week has been little expensive
Bought this cylinder head for the FIAT 126 TURBO project
300 euros
It's from a fiat panda 30 (2 cylinder 30HP )
Bought because its double ported intake ,34.5 mm intake valves ,30mm exhaust valves
Original 126p and 500 are 30mm intake and 28mm exhaust single port intake 28mm carb .
It's a good starting point for a custom head but requires a better cooling , because they tend to crack between the valves this it's not.
Keeping the engine complete stock just this head should make it 30hp , gaining 8hp from original which is 36.6% more power than stock
I'll do porting job , change exhaust valves maybe because of heat evacuation .
I might initially not modify the engine displacement.

Then this morning I've asked for renting a car for a wedding.
They wants 10k euros caution ,we are considering other options

Looking good my man.

Today I acquired...a mixed bag of screws...and some useful knowledge.

Turns out our local B&Q do a pick&mix on screws...very handy as it saves buying the boxes. I have so many screws...but needed a hand full of a specific size today.

Just fill the bag with whatever screws you like...seal and scan to check out...hassle free!

I hate random bags of assorted screws.

It just me, not you, as I say to my wife.

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Me too...but I decided to fill with screws I didn't have. I have 1 compartment specifically for random sizes

I'm really not anal, but I hate drawers / boxes of mixed stuff.

We've got a box of thousands of stainless and alu rivets, at work, I don't really suffer from OCD, but if anyone did it would be a nightmare.

Can't stand mixed boxes of stuff.

Yesterday I acquired a set of hgv brake rollers, dvsa are now wanting brake roller tests at ever PMI so I thought best to get some.

Heavy duty indeed by the look of them now you just need to build something to put them in

Yes.

 

[Barking Mat]

Tiz in hand




Yes.

That'll take a bit of infrastructure to install I would have thought.

Then have some "pretend" software and a few dodgy sensors and call yourself a Dyno tester

Can't stand mixed boxes of stuff.

The original Pik-'n-Mix in Woolies was a delightful breeding ground for all sorts of bugs, I suspect.

The good thing about a mixed box of stuff is the enjoyment you can get from sorting it out when it's too rainy to do anything proper. I've been finding various old jam jars and similar crammed full of a mixture of stuff.

How can you not like the excitement of looking through a box of mixed N/S/W looking for 2 identical items when the first one was the first out of the box and there just HAS to be another one in there somewhere. Better than any inane T V show.

OCD alert...look away now!

Doesn't bother me...this is just the odds and sods box....I'm not a fan of throwing stuff away.

I don't do building work for a living...if I did I can appreciate it saves a lot of time having stuff well organised.

 

[AdventuresInMetal]

You were not joking were you? Arn't them Dewalt boot laces in a screw box?

 

[GraemeVW]

Current state of my work screw box will send half of you into a fit then!

Needs replenishing, but I only use a handful of screws each week.

As well as the usual boxes of screws, I do also have tubs of random mixed screws too. I think B&Qs pick and mix screws section is brilliant.

 

[Luggsey]

its for a calor propane soldering bolt the flame is directed into holes thru the bolt and a round bar with a flat locates in the boss with the wing nut
i have one il take a photo soon

I would be interested to see that?
Looking at it again it does seem similar to the old camping butane bottlesconnection?

That doesn't look too bad, except those lethally sharp star timber joiners, they're bastard's!
