i used to put filters with a spot for lock wire on them on my bike, you might like one cos racecar you might also just get the threaded part made up in a lathe to a tighter fit, rather than change the whole setup

yeah, might want to roll them over the edge of something flat and see if one wiggles -

i vaguely remember something about setting it up as a home network not working for that, instead it needs to be something else. but i hhaave been playing with win2000 and xp, so it might be for that

i think was this, but i havent found the actual thread was was looking at yet. 🔁 Tips for Accessing All Files Sharing an entire C:\ drive will let you see everything, but you must run Windows Explorer as administrator to access ChatGPT said: To run Windows Explorer (File Explorer) as Administrator on Windows 10, it’s a bit tricky because it doesn’t allow it directly through right-click. Here's how you can do it: ⚙️ Method 1: Run Explorer as Administrator Using Task Manager Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Go to the "Details" tab. Find explorer.exe, right-click it, and choose End task. This will close your desktop and taskbar. Don’t panic — it’s normal. In Task Manager, click File > Run new task. Type: explorer.exe Then check the box that says: ✅ Create this task with administrative privileges Click OK. Your desktop and Explorer will restart with admin rights, allowing you to share drives fully. il have a deeper look for it later today

oh i remember this. something like you are setting it up the way that makes sense - on a local network. but actually thats WRONG and the actual way to connect it so you can see the files is hidden somewhere different. il see if i can dig it back up

Old Tanner drill press hasnt had a propper on off switch the 6 years i have owned it. Where it is in the new shed is puts the unguarded belts exactly where the wall switch is. swept up some rubbish and picked out the good bits dunno what that bit of shaft was, but theres also an old 8mm socket and what i think is a broken myford handle/shaft 8mm because its a cast iron rotary type on off switch (But if you open it theres just a normal throw bakelite on off, which is funny) little ridge where the hex and body of the switch is, so made the handle fit over that, socket screw goes through the 8mm socket and holds onto one of the flats nice -

Must be a plumber on site to make one out of scrap copper pipe? -
https://lep.co.nz/shop/industrial-plastics-rod-sheet-tube/rods/lurethane-rod/ can get any duro rating you like of this stuff, (again if you wanted to machine it)

you can also buy blanks of nolothane if you felt like machining one

pretty sure its just the same as the standard classic rego. My 51 is $70 a year, which is the same as my 81
-
Theres no extra fees for taking a vehicle off hold after you buy it. Just pay your months of rego as usual. *if you put your car on hold and then want to put rego on it before the hold is up, its a little different, if before 3 months is up, you pay that 3 months as if it was never on hold

you are buying the 6k power hammer as well

yeah semi sealed are.the ones that take usually a h4 bulb. look around, can do much better than 300. Butlers has them for about 120 a pair (upwards if you want fancier ones). The ones with a park bulb spot are probably more common than without now days. plus it looks like you can get flat or domed now, for a while there it was hard to get a nice domed one for morries

rare spares part HLA1008A but why not semisealed?

These videos are pretty useful I think there's another one in his list that goes into more detail about the factory calibration rig. But if you add a couple of pressure gauges to what you have, you are basically there
