PSG's Br0wn Bus from Oregon

Or guess 1x m14 washer, 1x m16?
And as you're buying, if you need it and you get lucky in the bolt shop they might have extra thick ones - my place does.

A slow process rebuilding some rather knackered but original heat exchangers is what I've mainly been doing. Hunting a cheap pair to donate flanges and skins, taking them all apart, repairing the pipes on one, replacing the flanges for the exhaust, sourcing stuffing and now eating rust out of the inside with phosphoric acid. It's doing my head in. Nowhere near finished.

 

Why are you doing it? So you have original insides?

 

Yep - 1,000,000 x the heat, approximately. I destroyed an almost new pair of repros to do it - £400 a pair new!

 

I think I have originals on this one. Few little holes round the ends

 

If you look on my thread I posted pics of the insides - you can easily spot the difference looking down the hot air exit hole.

 

There won't be any chance of that. The exhaust was a mare to get on.lol

 

I think we've had this conversation before... it won't help you knowing anyway, they are what they are. If I were in your position I wouldn't be farting about like me.

 

I go to work for half 6 so I can get home at 3 and work on the camper for an hour til it is too dark or raining. So yeah time is kinda of the essence, but in a different way to you.

 

Other things are holding me up so might as well while I have nothing better to do and it puts off seam sealing underneath a little longer. lol

 

...and I think I might be using my bus a lot over the winter.

 

Yeah you probably will. But it will be a good way to getting used to being on a barge in the winter. They are cold things. We did it when I was a teenager and I remember it being hella cold.

 

They're like a camper and soon cool down, you have to keep the fire going 24/7 from October to April with plenty of ventilation to avoid condensation and stop you dying. It cannot possibly cost as much to heat as the house did all the same.

 

I think you just need dedicated warm rooms. But I have no idea. I slept In most of my clothes.

 

Yeah I think they have been machined wrong. They are Chinese made. And then imported to the uk from Denmark.

 

But on the bright side, they cost a load less, and if the only issue is a couple of washers, then it will be a good choice. And no exchange so I get to keep the originals.

 

I'm making some laser cut stainless Sterl spacers if you would be interested, would only be a few pounds each

 

I will use washers for now but when you have them ready or a pic let me know.

 

Yes of course. I bought 14mm shims off eBay, 0.5 mm think. Worked well
