The PITS at Bala by Krusher on Fri Apr 17, 2009 6:10 pm
Whilst we are all at Bala for what is going to be a GREAT weekend :dance: :drink: I was wondering what sort of jobs could get done
on our trucks whilst the help and know how would be there. I was thinking of the coil spacers and the torsion wind up, would that be possible or
would it be too big a job for that environment??

I know a little fettling will be going on, only simple stuff as we cant be replacing engines and fitting clutches :lol:
If there is level ground I see no reason why a few torsion bars cant be tweaked just bring the 27mm socket and the breaker bar :lol:

I can't recall the being any hard standing, but I dare say running repairs will be attempted.

Its also a case of what tools are going to be there. To do some of the more fun jobs you need big, heavy and valuable bits of kit. I like to travel light on weekends as theres enough camping kit to go along with recovery kit. If someones got the kit and effort there will be plenty of experience to hand :wink:
