Temporary high imo Every time interest rate rises are mentioned it slows down again, although last year was a very good one. I have several customers saying work has started to dry up again And I am not overly busy for the time of year

About 20k since it was rebuilt Jon
-
that looks well

you don't need to alter the plate, just don't take it over 2000kg

Finally ordered the VNT kit and full width intercooler today for the 130. Will be good to see how much better it tows, but from speaking to some people who have fitted them it totally transforms how it pulls. if the figures are right then it should go from 110hp up to 168hp and torque up from 195lb.ft to 282lb.ft, not sure how acheivable that is but will be tamed down a bit anyway. I might dyno it before hand if I get time.

I have run several ifor 8x5 tippers, and then went up to the 10x5, I looked at the 12x6 but decided it was too big to get in to a lot of the places I deliver to. You may want to look at other makes as well though, the later ifor tippers are not that good quality wise compared to the old models, when I replace I will be looking at others and very much doubt it will be an ifor.

The jetbeam is 960 lumen but only for 3 minutes if using it continuously, it then goes down to the next level. The fenix is the best of the 2 but is quite a bit bigger and dearer but it's 900 lumen continuous. Mine came from a place in Hong Kong unfortunately, I would have bought locally but just couldn't get one, flashaholics have the TK41 at a decent price if you use a discount code.
-
I got a fenix tk41, and a Jetbeam sra40, both really nice bright long throw torches, and the build quality is very good. I only wanted torches that took AA batteries as I own quite a few decent quality rechargeable's. I had to bring the Jetbeam in from abroad as I couldn't find one very easily at sensible money here, so I bought both in at the same time, they weren't cheap but worth it imo.

Is this Turkey Oak / Quercus cerris?
scraggs replied to SteveA's topic in Tree Identification pictures
I cleared a big one a few years back and from memory the bark was similar but the cross cut looked nothing like what you have. -
I have a couple of nice oak sticks near Colchester, PM me if interested, I can get some pics next week.
-
Well my 2 torches arrived today Just been outside to try both. I am rarely happy with the quality of goods now days but these I am impressed with. and they are really bright, not cheap but well worth the money imo.

I am pretty sure fire regs come in if it's a house and you go in the loft which effectively makes it 3 storey, unless it's all changed a bungalow with rooms in the loft don't have the same fire regs.
-
You need to make sure the joists are man enough. Some odd planning laws on loft conversions to do with the way the windows look out and which direction, some do and some don't. Would imagine you definitely need building regs though if you want to do it properly I'm going into the loft rather than put an extension on, but am taking the old roof off and putting new attic trusses on with gable ends

Oil Pressure Gauge / Test Kit - any recommends?
scraggs replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
I bought this one from clarkes, I needed it in a hurry and you can buy similar far cheaper from ebay but the quality is good, has a good selection of adapters and a rotating quickie coupler. It's been for quit a few rideouts fitted on one of my bikes that I needed to check. -
I ordered 2 in the end, a Jetbeam SRA40 for in the truck and a Fenix TK41 to keep in the house
-
Yes, quite often up and down on the A12
-
Have I seen identical paint scheme and name in Essex area ?
-
So it's just me that would be offended then ?
-
Hi Brian We spoke earlier anyway Thanks for sending pics, I have decided it is just too far for me, but good luck with selling. Welcome BTW
-
just checked it out 900 mile round trip, think I will skip it.
-
I would have it but too far for me to want to go
-
Hmm I wonder why it is someone else's picture used here
-
politicians, I detest them all, even the so called clean ones
-
The thought of driving with that much on it fills me with fear
-
