    Which Adhesive to attach cellotex to aluminium sheets

    As part of my slow extension build at work there is a huge amount of insulation to fix and fit. Surprisingly I've found spray foam to be just the job. It sticks like **** to a blanket! To flesh, to hair and just about anywhere you didn't want it. Even though it is a foam when applied, it will...

    Violating a Princess!

    It's time Phil, the extension at work has over run. Installation of new machinery has been postponed. It's all about making it useable quickly without any bodges. Whilst still trying to work in chaos to pay for it all. All good fun, but I will escape! Mark

    Violating a Princess!

    The testing station I use Phil is some miles away, and not being a local I could get lost on the way ;) Air least it has disc brakes all round with the rears being spring brakes. They still seem to move. As it was sunny today, I took advantage to wash some of the green off. The front end was...

    Violating a Princess!

    I'm almost at a stage where I have enough room to set the sewing machine up. Once the drivers seat covered and fitted at least I'll be able to move it again. I think am going to have to do the minimum amount of work for it to be accepted for a MOT. It's been sat for a lot of years now, it would...

    INSULATION & MOISTURE?

    Remember you still get cold bridging across the metal structure Trevor. This is a puzzle I'm still trying to solve with Betty's roof. Plastic fasteners are a help, but the original wood based panels rotted where they touched the steel. I'm thinking about thin dense foam to reduce the thermal...

    Water heating connect

    All those non return valves would be asking for trouble in very cold weather. Unless you pressurise the system with air it would almost impossible to clear the pipes from water. BTW, I expect it's installed now. Mark

    Violating a Princess!

    I'm going to have to get on with it soon, as I've book trips for it already. Extension to the workshop is nearly finished, another month should do it. Then I'll have space in the dry to work. Mark

    Well I’ve gone & bought our next van.. although it’s not a van yet!

    Stainless corrodes steel! Placing a layer of duct tape in the interface will help. Also using pu mastic in the joint will help.

    What ever you do I think you will end up with it being PHGV. As it was originally type approved that way. With my coaches I've never bothered. The LHE Merc is sold now, but I still have the Cheetah under conversion. It's insured as a Motorhome even now, but not allowed on the road until it is...

    I see what you mean, but the carb is a bit high for a two stroke.

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    In the hands of the DVLA, lets hope I get my age related plate. Engine not run or even the lights checked! All that effort for no reason, I could have done it at my leisure. Wouldn't take it on the road until it's finished and then the first trip would be to MOT it. Yes I know, but that's the...

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    I'm having a 1943 BSA M20 inspected next week and they insist that it must be running. Many classic bikes have no internals as they will never be ridden again just in case they go bang! Mark
