A lot of RL,s have been shipped abroad. They are still about but you have to hunt now.

Yes thanks

Looking for Lister HL4 starter ring or flywheel

Packing sausage meat into the pastry

Now all sorted thanks for looking

Anyone near Walton on the Naze Essex with access to a tractor unit with a 5th wheel coupling or a tractor with a trailer dolly that could pull a 20 ton hydraulic press built on a step frame trailer out of a yard so that I can get the 2 rear tyres sorted for transporting. All of the rubbish around the front has been moved. I only need it moved about 30 yards into a clear space. Invoice or cash payment.

A selection of remote controls.

I can only speak from modern experience, a 12 month period of not running of a Briggs and Stratton engine with test hours only. On a horizontal band saw, left 1/2 full of E5 petrol. When I came to start it several attempts proved fruitless. So I drained the tank cleaned out the brown gunge in the carburettor, refilled with fresh petrol and second pull off it went. I think the fuel in the tank was separating into layers of its constituent parts. This is just my thoughts and experience of using modern petrol.

I do not know if the light's will serve as a pattern,

A selection of mirrors some unused some have been in action.

While moving stuff I came across these items, first four body clamps from a L/DAF 244

Here are a few more tools and equipment.

When they used beryllium in the mix for brake discs they found the resulting brake dust was poisonous. It's a variation in the toolbox. I would like to bet it would have been better than they had in Staffordshire in 44.

Maybe you should get it on draught.

Found this one in non ferrous metal. I have added the 32mm as I do not think I have any more non ferrous spanners. A few more ifrom another box, the first on the left is interesting.

Cuts cusses and claret come with the territory. Wait until you start on the Mat. You have done the metalwork apprenticeship then you have the woodwork to start. Please be careful. Great job.

I have had to deal with several types of wheel 2 piece, 3 piece and 4 piece wheels before tubeless came along. Right up up Cat 627b size with ring locks. I still have two light weight heel bars and an ally flat point. No large sledge hammers any more they all got stolen. Designers come up with engines to assemble in the factory but no thought seems to be given for the poor person who has to repair them. It seems strange to look back with fond memories on those times from retirement. One tyre fitter on the M62 Motorway near Manchester one super single trailer tyre 4min to change including bringing and taking the tyre to his van, (did not take the wheel off) took longer to inflate than change the tyre. Anyone near you with a green goddess so you could get a look at the sump.

Tyres are hard work even with the correct gear. When you get a one off use it as an anvil for the rest put them face to face after knocking back the spacer ring to free the locking ring then taking off the locking ring and spacer, drop a couple of bolts in some chocks under so that the tyre cannot fall all of the way onto the lower wheel then some soapy water on the top joint. Then it is just plain noisy walking around with a bead knocker or lump hammer and foot bar. A Kango hammer with a wide fairly blunt chisel is useful as they take some stick. I hate transit EGR valves. Good luck.

That has the Wow factor. Very impressive.

A massive subject given a good concise airing. Don't forget the Bear.

Chassis without the O were petrol powered. I think.

Such patience.

If you go to Browse and look through the topics you will find the Aviation section and all of the others. Just to put things in their box.

Aircraft still need a Militant though. Those Wellingtons would include the ones on Malta used to unsettle the Italian Navy when they put to sea. Welcome in.

There are 2 V8 engines for sale at the minute one AEC badged and one with the British Leyland swirl.
