It might give me something to drink when the camping beer runs out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waspman Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 When using clear hose with water be aware that any light will allow bacteria to grow and possibly turn the clear hose a little green, easy option is to cover the hose with some dark tape, then if there is some growth you won't see it... 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Use a dilute ethanol solution instead of water, should inhibit the bacterial growth nicely 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThePog Posted October 23, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2021 Onto one of the few remaining real jobs this weekend. Also I'm basically an upholsterer now. I found an outfit in chch to sell me this poos. I used the old one as a template, with the gaps where I did the roughest job cutting it to shape previously filled with tape to make it more accurate. The new one placed initially, with extra dome action. The new one with backing. The back floor templated with the help of some cardboard that I didn't take a pic of unfortunately. See how the truck is its own workbench? Fucking primo. And trimmed a bit, backing added and in place. I bought a shitload of domes from spotlight after I went there initially and drastically underestimated the number of them I would need. Fortunately they click up to the factory receptacles still left in the floor, although I added some extras for extra stay the fuck there you pvc piece of shit. I employed an amazing number of techniques to mark where the domes should be to fit to the studs that already existed, the best was red marker on the stud then mash the pvc into it. I still managed to blow it a bit here and there. The engine cover cover. Look at how much I cared, are you proud of me? I welded those seams with a fucked tube of plumbing cement that last got used 5 months ago, I'll get some proper pvc weld stuff tomorrow and make it a bit more secure. I'll also be able to add some edging then too, the glue means it might not fall off. I am quite pleased with the result, I like to think it will make a difference to the cabin noise. We will see during tomorrows outing. The next couple of days will be redoing the front bits as these are also rough and ragged where I simply didn't care when I fitted them. Thats all. 22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThePog Posted October 25, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2021 Did a bit more, mostly the rather complicated front floor. First I added the edging to the stuff in the back, it didn't need glue and held on pretty sweet. It looks nice. Then this fucker, which I had to have two goes at. Just as well I bought so much material eh. It came up acceptably well. The drivers footwell needed shaping somehow, so I stupidly cut it with the idea of gluing a second layer over the top. Then last night I remembered I had a heat gun, so I remade it with some templating improvements. Once the second cut was in place, I heated the area up and stuffed a rolled up towel backed by some blocks into the area which was way way better. Then I did the front engine cover which was tricky as well and required a bit of shaping; Also like a cunt I managed to do this in the middle of the driver's seat with the heat gun; Its not to bad but I am slightly disappointed in myself. Now there is just under and behind the seats to do, I'll sort it this week. I took it for a drive and it has already made an amazing difference, I wouldn't say it is like a rolls, but it is approaching civilised.... 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
