  1. I'd personally get my arse straight down to this wagon yard for a look around especially if you know the reg. **************** having a fast one pulled on you.
  2. Yup bit of needle blight then turning pink and thinning crown / die. Shame though as nice trees

    I didn't go. Was put off the size of the doughnuts last time.... we're they any bigger this time 😮 I went up to the front of que and said "is there any adult sized doughnuts please?" 😀
  6. Is probation not 6 months now also? Used to be 3 months.
  7. If that's the case then you don't want to be full time for anyone, neither on the books or not. You need to be self employed and work for various folks seeing various different setups and how things are done. Travel about a bit. Not all eggs in one basket When you first start a company I very much doubt you will employ straight off the bat. You will use freelance people to get you going
  8. I'd say you sound a right barrel of laughs and swallowed employment law book for breakfast. Are you a spam bot that works for hmrc?
  9. Cheers, yes found some 1/2" unc bolts with a shank. 10.9 tensile so that ticks that box. One pound odd a bolt so significantly cheaper With regards to nylock, I've had several other chippers use nylock nits bit they also have a grip type washer under neath.... also they are larger diameter bolts though so maybe less affected with heat? Not sure. 5.80 plus vat for a nut though, you can see where I'm coming from can't you lol 😆
  10. Use a file and put a chamfer on the edges of the pads the friction material part, top and bottom
  11. Just wondering if anyone has managed to source blade bolts and nuts from another source other than bandit? Blade nut is 5.80 and a non genuine bolt is 2.80 off them. When you need 8 and they're only nuts and bolts at the end of the day it's taking the piss really. They are obviously made elsewhere and sold via bandit. ( they can be used up to 3 times but even so, 5.80 for a bloody nut stroll on) Basically an imperial bolt and can't see any reason maybe a nylock nut would not work instead.
  12. 300 nicker by looks of it on Internet?
  13. Not worried at all. Ben burgess sells bits and mostlikely more now. Most things can be had from anywhere.... engines, bearings, belts etc. All teeth etc all from Ben burgess .
  14. Wow can't believe you lot. In all my shooting and not done any for a long while and maybe not as much as some of you may have done. But. .... 177 all day long man! Bisley magnums pack a hell of a punch. Lot flatter trajectory. Can't believe people still mess about with 22.... or even .20 for that matter. I was always a single shot man. (But had some multis) Had allsorts aa s400, daystate air rangers, rapid 17, bb s10, logun sweet 16, falcon fn12 bloody all sorts! My personal favourite bsa hornet .177 with the mmc cooking system. Regulated rifle mint! Do some reading up mate, airgunbbs etc. .177 is where it's at out to 40 yards head shots no worries with practice
  15. Not sure yet. Usually same old stuff for me to bother. When is it?
