  1. If you go with the "hamburger" lights be sure they are 12 or dual voltage They are common fit on trucks so a lot are 24 volt
  2. Fitting LED's is simple but you will need a ballast resistor to make the indicators work properly. They are a lot slimmer than conventional bulb units so are easier to keep out of trouble. Don't go cheap or you will be replacing them when the diodes start to fail.
  3. Can and shouldn't
  4. Yeah yeah I think you will find that all that is covered by the "don't you know I am a tree surgeon" general exemption.:laugh1:
  5. I can collect, I like a weekend in the lakes if I can bring my fly rods:laugh1:
  6. This Rangers tub had a thumping over the years and wasn't all that practical so we did this...... Sand blasted, painted and fully re wired with spanking new LED lights. The rest of the motor will be getting some TLC in the near future. The new dropside measures one cube to the top of the boards making it handy for delivering firewood.
  7. I wish I could sit on it, its back in at Dick Leigh's Bloody thing keeps air locking and stopping half way through a cut, oh and the rear AV spring, Dick says its because we are too rough with em
  8. The vent zippers just dig in the back of your legs particularly when driving. Had the vents open last few days and cant say I have noticed any decrease in temperature around the elbow skin area.
  9. Get a variety of lengths, a long sling can be hitched to shorten it if need be but a long sling wont stretch
  10. Now you mention it I did learn a lot from banger racing so I will say yes:laugh1:
  11. You do keep coming back to this and I still don't understand why you are saying the trainers are to blame, the training is mandated by the HSE not trainers. Trainers exists primarily because the HSE says we need training. They said that because they have a duty of care and the accident statistics showed the need. The "need" for training and updates is further propagated by the ambulance chasers and the government allowed that so that's where your tedious rants and insults belong, I am sure they will be just as interested as we are. Training and refreshers are HSE mandated across industries, its not just tree work. See what the IRATA or machine operators (for example) have to go through.
  12. That's not at all confusing, when you stop breaking chit, you have learned, simples.
  13. Geländewagen is a compound word, they like compound words in German Gelände meaning landscape or countryside and wagen meaning vehicle the combination means cross country vehicle
  14. I would like to say. Well said that man
  15. It can be done but converting is often more work than building from scratch Much will depend on the design of the flat and its condition
  16. Send it to me and I will make it so you can:lol:
  17. No they just wont work
  18. There should be a speed control on the valve, its a black knob unless its broken off when it will leave a small brass spigot.
  19. You have to keep them tame, I have one who owes for the last 2 jobs, not a fortune but he is waiting for me to find time to do another job, he will be waiting till he pays what he owes.
  20. There may well be but I suspect they will be jobs for the A&E department
  21. Ha ha ha ha no really what is it?
  22. Ummmm Dowty haven't made pumps for quite a while now so there is every chance that the pump is suffering from old and knackered. Check first that the supply pipe from the tank is big enough, that could be causing cavitation.
  23. None, the fly press is primarily a production line machine where the hydraulic press tends be much slower and thus not so good when you have thousands of units to make. Modern press work can beat the old school but needs a significant investment in machine and tooling so works best on the highest volume work. A fly press is a grim place to spend a shift or two.
  24. It isn't just the booze though mate, the entire economy is expensive If you lived like a hermit you could save but it would be an austere existence. I suppose if you have a goal to achieve it would be doable
  25. Indeed but where the pay is good the cost of living is also high so while you may be earning it you will also be spending it.
