Archaeology breakthrough as mysterious 200-year-old shipwreck could be Royal Navy warship (msn.com) -
For information 2.5mm flat head copper rivet
-
Sorry to resurrect but did anyone get measurements for the stands?
-
Sorry it was a throw away type of question, yes the holes are measurable will do my usually trick of getting drill bits to see, provisionally I think about 2.5mm to 3mm. The guide is a great help as well Thanks Richard
-
Thanks, will have a look, the manufacturers label is covered in paint so not sure which size metric or imperial i need yet. The point you have made does bring another question to light at what point would the sizes be changed to metric?

Got them off now, the rivits are made of copper

Gordon Thanks heading out to sort it
-
Thanks, just going to head out and get them off, then to sand blaster
-
Totally agree, as I have said on the forum always learning
-
The back of the rivet. Used a wire brush to try and show it a bit better
-
Heading out to shed today will get picture of the rear
-
Thanks, I have plenty of screwdrivers that might work and as always will go carefully. Thinking out loud as I do, Think will try and knock the back where no plate. Will then know size of rivet needed and after treatment how to secure them

I was chatting to an engineer the other day and we were discussing the lock down, he had been speaking to a friend of his who was fed up of the lock down, the engineer asked him what he had learnt in the last 6 months, his friend said nothing. The engineer said he felt his friend had not thought properly. I said I had learnt to refurbish stoves, learnt to change the oil on a land rover and soldering, yes simple things so thought it might be a good topic to start.

Gordon Many thanks, was thinking of the usual a drill but will try your suggestion when I can find a blunt chisel, have a fabricators not far from work they may have one. Will do some research on push rivit's, every day a school day and I do like this form of learning
-
Just added another stove and decided to strip it down and get it sand blasted, I am going to remove the instruction labels which appear to be a cold rivet. Can some one advise if this assumption is correct and if so any source I think they are about 2 maybe 3 mm diameter. If not may use a pot rivet instead. Thanks in advance.

Just acquired another stove to restore and noticed blue paint under the green, any ideas please
-
Paul Many thanks next on the list to do
-
Many thanks i do like the cooking times
-
Thanks, for this, i think my issue will be the wiring from the 4 pins to the connections especially as one is a thermostat, still thinking about how to do it

Typo

Just found this old picture when my land Rover was delivered direct from Witham, red pintle. Just spotted that the 12v sign was not replaced after the crash, need to source one
-
Many thanks, I couldn't see the holes in the picture above and at the moment to much paint on the actual part couldn't see the holes for the pliers, it does make sense to me now you have mentioned it, as always the big thing is learning.
-
It looks like i am going to have to strip the thing down to free it, just trying to work out the best way to get the washers off holding the pins in. Plenty of layers of paint on it
