    Manual drill question

    Well Tookey, I have used manual drills on many occasions in my life and never had a problem, the main thing to remember is that the drill bit is sharp and the sharpening is done at the correct angle if this is done correctly then very little pressure is required to drill through most materials...

    Humble Road Van #2

    A truly wonderful build, my conclusion though would be price of build materials ( The aluminium extrusion in America is probably cheap in comparison to the UK), and build weight, I don't know but maybe in America the vehicle weight limits are not as strict as in Europe one other thing I noted is...

    Replacing double swivel with single, citroen relay.

    Well if you think about it Nab you first of all have to purchase the steel and even that's not cheap now a days, round or square section you would be surprised I think how much steel section you would need to construct it properly, say the steel cost £30 and most fabricaters charge on average...

    Yes you can but most folk haven't got the welding equipment available or indeed the correct skill to weld it up safely, and paying someone else to do would be pricey to say the least 😏. Phil

    Flexible gas pipe?

    Phil, I've been bar b queuing with an orange flexi gas pipe that's been out in the elements for 6 or 7 years it's now no longer orange because of the UV and cracking on the surface, however the rubber internal bore is fine, obviously I wouldn't use this state of pipe in an enclosed environment...

    Replacing double swivel with single, citroen relay.

    I'm sure that your correct, my son had to do a massive search for a swivelling double seat for his van, so the fact that it has a swivel is a great plus.🙂. Phil

    Replacing double swivel with single, citroen relay.

    Rec it's been sometime since I fitted two single swivel seats into my 2014 Ducato, but I do remember that initially I was disappointed by the fact that it seemed to be a high driving position but I soon got used to it and now do not even think about it.what I did note was the cost of a single...

    Chinese android sat/Nav radios for Fiat/Renault and Peugeot vans

    Agreed, I also keep them for mixing 2 pack epoxy glue and as a filler spreader, but in the case of removing these Ducato radios because they are such a tight fit you need something thin but strong and does not bend easily 🙂. Phil

    By the way if any of you with a Ducato X250 2006 - 2015 wants to take the radio out even when using the two twin prong removal tool the radio is very tight to remove as there are two plastic noddies on each side near the bottom of the skirt that are very tight into metal dragon clips, the best...
