Personally I prefer going for an M4 allen head bolt into a 3mm ID hose -it looks cooler...

 

I suppose what happened there was all the rubber came off on the steep bit, and there has been little rain to wash the road off. .

If I had got it going I would have put on main beam and carried on going until I was inches from his car. He might have run away at that,.
Mind you, the new LED headlights are spectacularly bright on main beam , you can see them reflect off the back of an idiot in a black BMW MPV at at least 10 metres on a sunny day.

 

With my first engine that had a hairline crack there -

What I found was that the bore of the oil gallery inside where the crack starts from was a bit larger than further down. I cut down some copper tubing (similar thermal expansion to magnesium) to make a ring, and then used carburettor cleaner to drive away oil, then JB weld the ring in place to glue it into the gallery across the crack. It slowed the leak from visibly dripping to a slow seep.

What I was going to do as a more permanent fix was to drill and tap the gallery for an aluminium oil gallery plug past the crack (the kind of thing used when you clean out the galleries) , fit the plug then drill it out to make a new gallery.

But then I trashed the crank on that engine, so I started building another one with a case and crank I bought as a rusty oily out of focus blob for £51 from a vendor in Barry South Wales which was 99 miles as the crow flies from my house. I set an eBay limit of 100 miles radius. It took about 150 miles of driving, cost me a hotel stay for the family . But still, all in it was £600 to rebuild. (the engine was blurry because there was 5-10mm of oily filth all over it plus low quality phone photos)

 

Ow mooch?

 

I’d be very interested seeing how yours turn out

Cooked Sunday brunch on the Cadac

 

Marvellous, is that a paella pan?

It serpently is. Massively versatile. Our new most favourite pan

 

The lid also fits the big deep pan, oven cover thing

 

Give an Englishman a paella pan and he'll make bacon sausage and eggs. Good man.

 

First piece of electrical installations in place.
Everything on this van is curved like a peachy bum...that does not make things easy!

Peachy indeed? Whereabouts on the interwebs have you been browsing? Asking for a friend?

 

All sorts of places I ought not to.
That particular bikini was from here:

What are you running through that Panzer?
Its proper heavy duty

 

It is right.
You’d think something exciting like a cappuccino machine, but it’s just to distribute to: an inverter, electrical panel in the cabin, additional fuse box & panel in the cab and a couple of 12v sockets under the sliding door for when a glawning is up.

It’s quite versatile though. Can take just 23a fuses upwards to 300a. I’ll not be maxing it out.

Lightly dusted my spare ball joints. Then put them back in the safe.

 

Driven it.
