I got a day pass... but nails and credit card were mentioned here....
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)

Andy, what are you doing with your old rear arb links and are they ok? I know new ones are cheap anyways but seems a waste if your just guna bin them and your old tank guard?
Also have you still got that rear nearside door? Don't let me leave without it lol

Cool see you all tomorrow
Today I made a start first off I took the fuel tank/carrier off. Then took the tank out of the carrier. The old carrier will need some patches & welding before I put it up for sale.
Then I managed to removed the old flexi brake pipe then put the new one on along with new pipes to the brake callipers. Well need checking then bleeding.

Have any of you got one of those.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 0799205756
It would come in handy measuring the heavy duty tank guard then we could get a CAD drawing for them

No, but I have got the next best thing, and a tank guard sat outside my shed awaiting treatment, and a decent mig to do the welding, and a tame metal supplier down the road with some nice sheet steel (3mm & 4mm) that I need to pick up, and a decent saw to cut it all up.... All I need now is the [url]TIME[/url] to cut the plate up and make a decent tank guard!!!!
Oh and I'll CAD it up as well while making it, just need to get another comp for the shed.
