    Hardly Technical!

    Could you not use a cut down plastic rawlplug? I fitted a few interior door cards/panels made of ply and rather than use the standard holes/clips I used some smaller screws with washers (which I think were from a split); To get the smaller screws to work, I just used some rawlplugs, which I...

    Bend EMPI gear shifter

    +1 Same for me @thejinx - I've got the empi trigger shifter, works great (think I also added a short-shift plate to it or something years ago) apart from this.

    Fire Pit - What you burning?

    Hi, So anyone with a Fire pit - Any recommendations on... 1) What brand/how much fuel you using to BBQ with? 2) What brand wood you using when just having it as a fire? Looking for something smokeless, as although I'll be in the van, others nearby will be slumming it in tents. Thanks, Steve

    Fitted CSP Drum's - Loud screeching noise?

    Thanks for the suggestion. When we took the new CSP drum off, the grease looked OK; I'll add a photo below. No smell of burning. Also couldn't actually see any wearing on the backplate - just could feel it catching somewhere.
