Muncie Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The bottom of my toolbox had been useless too small to fit my power tools and socket sets in finally had a brain fart moment and a purpose for some stuff I had been hoarding. Mini power station. 2 big arse 6 volt batteries a hardwired charger and a big boy inverter and a smaller one to run smaller stuff a bit more efficiently, I have had a few power cuts where I am with builders spearing underground cables with diggers it's been pretty damn handy. Plan is to add a solar panel and run a few circuits in the house off it lights etc possibly a 12v setup to avoid diving in to the mains stuff. It's also a mint as a jump pack with these 6metre 35mm cable leads (every one needs these) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Muncie Posted May 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2018 Going to post this here for anyone whose putting up with a sagging hood lining as it turned out better than I was expecting for $7 only one spot I hit a roof structure and had to shorten the brass thumb tacks haha. Stringlined the center rear view mirror to center of rear hatch then used a 1m ruler to place tacks every 150mm it settled nicely. Wont be putting any upholstery specialists out of business but it beats driving with cloth on ya head. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 For friggs sake, that jockey wheel has already failed. The axle/centre section of the wheel has seperated from the wheel itself (2 sides that clamp together) Not surprising as its only held on by a tiny bump of a bead. Should tell supercheap to eat a dick tbh, but i think il just weld 1 side onto the axle section  Everything is shit, need a lathe so il just make everything to an acceptable standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valiant Posted May 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've been making my kids a small half pipe over the last couple of weekends. So far it's all timber I have scrounged up from around work etc, at this stage outlay is nothing more than some nail gun nails I already had. This afternoon it started to look like more than a pile of firewood. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Fantastic! I had a spine ramp version like yours in my parents back yard...went home for lunchtime everyday (at high school) and rode it for years. Then built exactly what you've made when I was in London...kept me from going insane...seriously... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valiant Posted May 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2018 During the week I purchased 8 sheets of 7mm downgrade plywood for the curved sections. The flat was bits of 12mm I'd scrounged previously. Progress from this weekend. Looking good. Kids are excited. Â 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Looking good. You're going to want 2 or better still 3 layers of ply on that bad boy. The transition between flat and curve tends to get a pounding and holes in the ply develop really quick in that area if there's not enough layers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It's going to be two layers to start with, if it's a problem I'll add an extra later over the top. I just didn't get as much done today as would have liked. Â Thanks for the tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 They usually do a cople layers of 10mm at 45 degrees, get more from each sheet that way to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
