MaccieD.... Where else! 🤣🤣

 

[tooSavvy]

Such a gorgeous day, today....

 

🚙💨

[tooSavvy]

This rather down-at-heel 1.1 was already at the pub...

 

..... More dents in the roof than an Ulstermans lambeg! 😮

For '$hitznGiggles' I have popped for one of these... enChine. 🎱

35mm @M10 = £3

Just to see how it fits + lower the stick height, as it frets somewhat against my thigh 😕

Knobs in..... Soon 2be ON 👌🛠️

I only get an 'idiot light' for engine temps 😕😳

This kit (@£4) with the 'external' sensor lashed against the heater hose [hottest outlet one] will give me a rough >> direction of travel >> for the engine/water temps.

 

This guy agrees to 'approximation' but, essentially, some number [..trends] is better than none 👍

🚙💨

So ... Results *partially, are in 😐

18.2 cold water tap running
24.2 ambient (see thermo display)
48.0 hot full cup, direct from kettle boil
85.0 immersed in hot, direct from kettle boil

The area I'm most concerned about is the ability of the sensor to 'sense/register' a high temp (water) through a vessel wall (cup) 😕

I don't know how to discover the 'sensor spec' but they can be got as a 'washer tab' style - to bolt flat faced onto the 'hot' part...

I may just buy one and run an identical set of tests 😉

*Power courtesy of SKY 12V router supply.

...... This, for instance, has the sensor in a splodge of resin (not a metal tube!)

 

[tooSavvy]

Lovely day again, today....

 

🚙💨

[tooSavvy]

Interesting feature, but no details 🙈🙉🙊

..... my brake master cyl/servo is infront of the n/s passenger.

I'm aware a fair number of car makers will [if not re engineering/no actual room] link the brakes across with a tube/bracket set up.

I haven't actually looked under the dash space 'for proof'.... but I'm finding the parts book pdfs show no brake assembly for RHD cars = the pedal clevis goes directly into servo/pushrod LHD.

Not a frequently bought part, agreed, but there must be some jiggery-pokery around setting pedal height RHD v LHD.... 🤔

I have a loose assortment of drills, a box set up to 10mm. But no 12mm 😕

My gear ball is a bit crook as, both the thread is wrong + the gearstick[12mm] is threaded high up into the factory knob. My plan was to just unscrew the factory one and wizz this on.. 🙄

I'm going to chop the threaded end off (cut wheel / Dremel*clone) and drill out the knob to 12mm = press on! 👌

 

[tooSavvy]

Knob 2 Order 👌🎱

 

..... making ball hole larger/deeper 12mm.

 

[tooSavvy]

I had to 'double-up' to my dodgy old 13MM chuck, for drilling the gear ball 12MM. The machine only has a 3/8" chuck.... Ordered N.O.S. Milwaukee 13MM @£10 .. 1/2"*20 thread.

Drill chuck just 'crashed' through letter box 👌.

Bonzza

🚙💨

[tooSavvy]

...... 13MM chuck + key 👌

 

[tooSavvy]

So then...... I have sweated these last two days on an eBay bid 😮

Closed - winner @£5, delivered 🥳

 

2" balls.... let's see which one suits my gearstick best 🤣🤣

🚙💨

[tooSavvy]

Went to fit the mudflaps, on the front...

ACE 👍 (.... on the drivers side, screws came straight out 🥳)

Ooops 😕 .... Passenger side screws just whizz round in plastic clips.

Will be Dremel *clone the heads off/have ordered pk. new clips £3.75 🙄 F..F..S..

🚙💨

Is there a viable option to 'yark out' the panhead, with pincers... or likely thin wing edge metal nastiness 🤦

ah yes, recognise the sort....

[tooSavvy]

Christ! That was FAST!! 😳

Did you get them from vehicleclips.co.uk, I got some clips from them this year, and was next day.

Rennies for drill bits are excellent.

We have identical outdoor work benches.

I need a red knob to replace the faded one one my boats engine controls. I nearly got dragged over the bow when laying out the anchor because MrsDS  put the controls to full speed astern instead of gear shift to neutral.

Did a bumble along the coast to Bamburgh today - raining 😕.

However, had the delight of following this...

 

... back down the A1.

I could 'feel' the throb coming from the centre pipe, sniffed the 5* & saw the puff of unburnt when he floored it to clear '*a few'....

Swiss, I believe, LHD mintolla 😎

🚙💨

Went there in 2008

in the actual norf.

[tooSavvy]

Pads done. Hell of a job forcing (gently... 😮) the pistons back in. Used my 17mm ring, edged against my hammer head, to make a lever 👍

 

I checked the fluid reservoir, as the pistons went back, and it came up to the rim 😳.

A jury rig of silicone pipe/scent bottle got me able to 'suck it out' (oooh,err)😎

 

 🚙💨

[tooSavvy]

Pool balls arrived....

3 different sizes 😳

Big = yellow

Medium = eight ball

Small = red

[Noel Tidybeard]

if only there was someone on the forum who sells poolballs drilled and tapped to fit a gear lever

[tooSavvy]

Yeah..... I'll take a random selection of 3, £5 delivered 🎱👌

[tooSavvy]

The 'Mk2' thermistor has arrived. I'm going to experiment/back to back with the probes.... we will see if the resin tip is anymore responsive 🤔

 

[tooSavvy]

Today... I will be mostly...

 

[ruffgeezer]

Playing with your balls?  I don't think we needed that announcement!  😁
