Long time back, I took an old above ground swimming pool apart with my dad and it had the most wonderful self tapping screws on it. easily went through double skinned 1.2mm panels (though you needed a big screwdriver with a spanner on it to start them off!) but now I've run out and I...

    Front brake hose clamps- where to buy?

    Hi guys- not the small "H" section clips, but there are two, one per side, brake hose clips that bolt to the underside of the top suspension ball joint. Does anyone know where I can buy those from? I can't find a picture of them for the life of me... Thanks in advance Si

    Free- Mig Welder, SIP 130 Turbo. May need a little attention

    ***NOW TAKEN, THANKS VERY MUCH :-)**** Hi all! This was given to me a long time back and I used it half to death, but now I've got a big orange one so it's going spare. Seems to work OK- I had to make a repair to the circuit board, but it feeds wire and strikes an arc. I haven't hooked it up...

    Afternoon chaps! Some of you may be familiar with this old bird: And much as I hate to brag, I popped a bit of paint on it and got it put back together last night. Now it looks like this- I still need to do the roof, rear hatch, some work on the underside (belly pans etc) and the...

    Alright fellas- Your drag rod from the steering box to the beam idler arm has two ends on it, and one of them's removable. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement? my rearmost end is spot on and I don't really want to buy a new arm entirely. They're slightly bigger than the track rod...

    Wanted- rear stub axle, wide 5 style.

    Yeah, you guessed it. I tried really hard to get the old one out (drum was stuck on) and the threads could be better. Much better! I didn't wind the nut far enough on, and smacking it with the back of an axe probably didn't help either. They don't half shift stuff though. Promise I'll be gentle...
