It should turn up in post next week. Then it will get stripped, blasted and repainted in Roundel Blue.

Its better than that, its a fork rotator. A tad heavy to drag out of a skip on your own and the crane lorry is off the road atm. If its there next week they will be coming home to daddy

+1!
Who on here can resist walking past a skip without looking in!
Unfortunately it's usually rubble and tat whenever I see one

Took advantage of the recent ebay discount - not too sure how much of a mega bargain they were as they seem to be the DFS of the diagnostics world but I don't think I did too badly.
Tried out the battery tester, seems to work well - not tried the charger yet but reviews seem good.

Looks like a few starter teeth on the flywheel.
Yes and beyond the start ring gear on the flywheel is the absence of a gearbox.
Hence the celebrations!

I've been looking for one for a while now, I had hoped to buy one from a forum member, didn't seem to work out, but never mind...., won this on the Bay of Fleas for £26-00 + courier costs.
A bit of wiring repair/shortening/tidying and a new power cable n plug, got it working today as it should.
Abit under capacity for my choice, but it'll do for the time being until I find a bigger one...then I'll have 2......
Just need to hang it up now.....
.
My back will thank me....

I said I wouldn't buy any more Record vices but to be fair that was 3 days ago.
These 2x no 4's turned up locally. Went to buy one and the seller wanted both gone so he forced me to take them home.
Re the bent handle I think I'll heat that and use my 20 tonne bench press to straighten it back.
