tortron Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Oldschool.kero burners are fine. The new chinese and indian ones turn into jetengines pretty quick once they start leaking new leather washers and you should keep it dry (kero will affect the stain of the wood if spilled but) So glad so many of these are getting built Quote
Hemi Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Leather washer can get bent.Where do you even get them from?My first kero stove and the pump washer turn to dust , so got a new one (syn) only then did i realise the i was missing really important pieces. the caps that vaporise the fuel .. Fuck when that bitch was going well it boiled a pot of water in like minute . but then it would have a cough and then release a cloud of kero that would ignite ingulf everything in a ball of fire 2 Quote
tortron Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Can get rebuild kits for everything online i always just made my own love my msr multifuel stove run it on 91 most of the time and it takes seconds to make a cup of tea bad news if something goes wrong when you have a presurised bottle of petrol and an open flame vut Quote
Hemi Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 FUck running a pressurised stove on petrol. FUCK . THAT. Run mine on diesel or mix of kero and diesel . So slow to start , shit cranked once it was going though. ( the one felix now has) 1 Quote
felixx Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Hemi I run that beast on a diet of 100 percent kero weekly! That's the stove I'm using with the teardrop. It well be the best fit of the 3 I have 1 Quote
felixx Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 So today I got 2 8x4 sheets of polysyrene for insulation I also got given this beautiful thing off a member here: (I already had the cat) It looks rough but has nice wee springs on it and Trojan trailer coupling and a live number plate! I ripped the springs and couplings out tonight. I will give the c section axle and 8" iwheels back to Moray to move his bambina about (he is building a wheelbarrow to take it out and about) Thanks for looking 3 Quote
felixx Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 so I took the leaves off! They looked nice and shiny, but I felt I could make em tidier so out came the grinder and I polished em nice n shiny(er) Then I hit them with some spray zinc with some wheel paint over that. Now they look like this: Oh I also slipped some grease between the leaves too. Quote
felixx Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 It is all welded short of the 6mm plate to hold the coupling on! Next pic will be the right way up with wheels 1 Quote
EURON8 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Ah, not sure of the norm, but my trailer and most i've seen use much thicker plate for coupling . Looking good, top notch progress. Quote
felixx Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 cheers mate, I was just comparing it to my father in laws (3mm) and the one I robbed for bits (3mm) and thought I would double it due to my noobishness. I will look at my neighbours boat trailer tomorrow! Quote
EURON8 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Can even just buy ready to go plate http://cmtrailer.co.nz/sites/default/files/36.COUPLINGS_1.pdf Not that drilling 4 holes in a short length of steel is hard. Easier with a drill dress. Quote
felixx Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Well I have done a bit: I fabbed up some awesome U bolt substitutes: I also have hubs and stubs (same stud pattern as my Anglia) to fab into an axle on tuesday. Also it looks like this: I also got a proper plate to mount the coupling as well as made up a light bar as a temprary fixd until the caravan goes on top 1 Quote
felixx Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 real wheels mounted today. Guards mocked up Thanks for the big welder help Pete, I doubt my wee fella would have done it 2 Quote
felixx Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Just need to get a WOF that might happen on thursday 3 Quote
Ned Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Still kinda confused how you got rego without a WOF. I thought you need a WOF to get rego? 1 Quote
xsspeed Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 even nzta dont believe in trailer wofs 2 Quote
My name is Russell Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Still kinda confused how you got rego without a WOF. I thought you need a WOF to get rego? Doesn't apply for trailers Quote
AllTorque Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Yep. You need a rego before you can do a wof on trailers. because there's no vin number, you need the rego to enter the wof online. Quote
