@The_Yellow_Ardvark That magnetic base is worth a bob or two.....

But I got the clock to work.

Today I acquired - 2 sore arms Covid jab in one arm and Flu jab in the other.

 

[Rannsachair]

A 6v LED light kit for my Matchless, will be interesting to see the difference.

Someone gave this kit good reviews, so thought I would try it. 6v lights on a motorbike are not the best.

Congrats!



If you can justify the initial costs, you never make a mistake with tools from Fein.

A published service phone number where someone even answers the phone during normal business hours,
and not the marketing trainee on the second working day, no,
a real technician who knows the products!

Needed a part for an ancient large angle grinder from Fein, no type plate readable on that thing any more, advice from the service hotline:
Take a photo, email it to us, we will identify the unit for you, even if we no longer have the original part, perhaps you can adapt that part from the newer types ...

Wow!

Gave that a try yesterday, 7pm.
Got an answer including a offer by 8:19 this morning.
That's nearly absurdly fast.

WW1 Caverly Officers Bino's.

Any chance of a couple more photos of the binoculars? They look very similar to a battered pair my little lad was given at a car boot sale, just because, as a 3 year-old, he was quite cute when attempting to say "binoculars"!

Someone gave this kit good reviews, so thought I would try it. 6v lights on a motorbike are not the best.

The 6V headlamp on my MZ TS250 was one of the best of the class.
However, converting it to 12V system would have improved it a fair bit.
Still, it was quite useable down the back roads.
Of course, there's very little room for corrosion resistance on a 6V system.
That's a useful site, ta.

A Draper Expert VDE torque screwdriver set. I did look at Wiha but settled on this, seems to get good reviews and was cheaper, I won't use it that often but I have a lot of isolators and similar to cable up for the solar, I tend to over tighten screw connectors.

Me too, but flu and pneumonia. Hadn't heard about the pneumonia one before, but it was a once in a lifetime deal

Nice, been looking at one myself, interested to know what you think of it - the Wera ones don't have a very good range, the Wiha is expensive and the Armeg is a bit of a faff to adjust. I know a lot of guys have gone for the Draper.
I haven't tested it myself, but I believe also the Wera Kompakt VDE blades fit the Draper (but not the other way around).

When I get a few minutes, if I do not remind me.

I had the Pneumonia jab over 10 years ago after I'd had Pneumonia earlier that year assuming it's still working.

Aye, she said it was supposed to provide lifetime protection, so adjacent hospital beds it is, then

Auction turn out to be very popular! A Bit expensive for what it is but I now have a bigger Positioner for cladding work. I tried to win the bigger machines but people paid more than they cost refurbed!

I think its a balance between speed of the bike and how far ahead you need the lights to illuminate, so what is fine on an MZ may not be on an AJS 500

What switch?

This set of Nat West Bank lead seals pliers.

They look like they were probably made by Maun.

Today, I have acquired something not:

Again, it's a story with Chinese traders.

I had found a tap for external thread Tr.16x3mm in Germany, received it quickly and successfully carried out the repair.

At the same time I had ordered a tap for internal threads, in case I would have to re-cut the counterpart as well - I got this (affordable) only from China.

Today, after two weeks, the time had finally come ... GLS delivered this:

EMPTY


Who, with all unnecessary respect, can be so stupid as to put a long pointed object that is to be sent halfway around the world from China to Europe into a super thin envelope without further packaging and without reinforcing it accordingly?


Or have I just come across their latest scam of just sending empty envelopes with a hole in them...!?

And now the same circus as always, useless back and forth writing, maybe videos are requested (I have already sent pictures, of course), any responsibility is denied, a refund of
€ 2.50 is offered, ..... gnagnagna - you all know the drill.
