I have now um.. made it slightly better and made a decision.. I'm going to make a new one. I have patched and braced and everywhere I look theres a new hole.. The L plate down each side that had sheared were actually 3" hinges. There is a slightly mental arrangement where the sides could be dropped flat. Well they could if it didn't have any wheels. Anyway. shiny new trailer body ahoy!Plan B is about 80 quids worth of steel hidden on the next order, re use the A frame and the axle and make one similar but a couple of foot longer. Or cut the middle out and make a new section. Not sure yet. Today might be welding it back together with some splints so I can deliver a couple shelf units I really dont want to be putting on the roof of the Transit... To be honest I haven't entirely made my mind up. It is still cheap though.

Ever since I picked these filters up this morning they have bean bugging me. In my head was a nagging thought I had seen them or something similar to them in my past.
I had.
@daleyd
You should of piped up.
The picture below shows them in situ on a modern day RN Bridge compass.
Yes a stolen image.
There they are.
I blame old age.

That's the start of a project in itself, the function/use can come later

Jackpot. These ended just before a set labeled as smart and brown from the same seller. Took a gamble and won them for £18. Lost the s&b one. Went for over £50
Just unwrapped and tested. Perfect fit and the collets are identical in dimensions to what I got with the lathe. Result. Also a spare drawbar.

To I acquired a new engineer.
Means I am now 5 short.
I should if bean concerned from day 1.
Instead of 4 day tech training in the head office. It took 6.
It is a first day with me doubling up to show him the ropes, so to say.
How can I put this without upsetting people.
Any one need two in number, of reduced lengths. Massively reduced. Of thick wooden material.
I will pay shipping.

Quite a number of years ago, A toe-rag neighbour moved out, I spied in the back garden a very nice high homemade car ramp.So being a good citizen I tidied it away in my garage intending to make another to match, Low and behold, new buyer moved in a couple of weeks later and chucked the other ramp out that they found in the garage, So then I had the pair. Win,Win situation.

Damn and blast and flipping buckets of blood they've buried anything that may have been useful. They emptied the shed into the skip then dismantled the shed and chucked that on top, then a load of garden waste and other rubbish. To cap it off it's a high wall skip and the door has been locked shut. Not a happy Dodge.
