  1. 20mph wind and rain and about 10°c here, it feels colder though.
  2. I don't see where this is going sorry, I haven't said anything bad about the company just that they were expensive for a single diaphragm and I went elsewhere I'll try not to say anything that can be misconstrued in future.
  3. Walbro like I said in the first post, it was a couple of years ago now. He was pleasant enough on the phone when I declined to buy and I would buy from them if I needed anything obscure or in a hurry.
  4. Segway prototype was my guess
  5. It's easy enough to understand, I spoke to a man on the phone and asked about parts for the Dynamac carb, he told me how much for the diaphragm alone and I declined because I could get a complete carb overhaul kit for about a third of the price. If I was stuck for the part or needed them in a hurry I would buy but I wasn't so I opted to go elsewhere.

    Re Edit

    That's why he's getting a new one for Christmas Nice vid.
  7. Or chogolate ?
  8. I contacted them easily enough but I thought they were expensive. They wanted over £10 plus postage for a diaphragm when a complete kit from ebay was under £4 post free. That was for a Walbro on my old Dynamac. A friend of mine bought a complete Zama carb for his 039 from an ebay seller for around £20 delivered.
  9. Just finished fitting a new exhaust to my daughter's Corsa. We got wet
  10. That will spread them about nicely
  11. It crops up in these areas as pleasing to the eye not efficient, it also crops up in supermodels and animals. Physics follows different rules. If something is aesthetically pleasing doesn't mean it will work. Da Vinci drew some nice machines but they would not fly. I thought it was "it it looks right then it probably is right"
  12. The golden ratio is only something about what works in nature or is pleasing to the eye not what is efficient in mechanics.
  13. I've never used a cut off saw and thought "this ought to be making more noise and dust, I'll see what I can do" The 12" discs are only rated to about 6000rpm as well so not really a fruitful exercise making the saw outpace them.
  14. It's usually the socks where I have trouble
  15. You can melt Lego in acetone to make repair paste but it is for ABS plastic so you need to know what the saw is made of. [ame] [/ame]
  16. Or even new for old Will it be covered on your vehicle policy, your household policy or do you have equipment cover ?
  17. For those without 6 foot monitors.
  18. Cut them down and thin them out and sell them as Christmas trees Have you looked inside the hedge to see how many trunks those conifers have ? I had just one at the bottom of our garden and it had about 8 and was a swine to get at. I dug the root out a couple of years after the stump had died.
  19. Push it out with a screwdriver then plastic weld it and JBweld a plate on top for in future reinforcement. Make something that bolts into the screws holding the dogs on for a bit more cover.
  20. If you are Antipodean get some therapy, the Podean people have been oppressed for long enough and it's time they were recognised as having rights same as the rest of us.
  21. It's only a percentage of magnesium in aluminium typically 0.3 to 3% and will weld with 5356 tig rod but they are prone to cracking.

    What's this, the biggarlogs reality show ?
  23. My friend is an architect and he uses one to get into lofts. They do have their uses..
  24. If you get a 171 for firewood you will be doing a lot of chain sharpening.
  25. My 3 section ladder telescopes out to 27'
