What has made you Happy today??

I busted two silicone guns so raced into Bunnings and bought the heaviest gun they had , lasted half a tube so put a big drill bit on the handle of an old one to stiffen it up and didn't use the screw on nozzles .
Just made it .

Yea i nearly ditched the nozel, but needed it as the back of the mounts are thin (6mm), so needed a think bead..

Did you use the etch primer on all surfaces before gluing .

Scrubbed the roof with a scotch brite and metho, and wiped mounts with metho..

The set that I got for the van came with the sikaflex and an etch primer , the primer I'm positive was just acetone with black dye in it so you knew where you had prepped .
Never used it on the poptop roof just cleaned with metho and slapped the glue on , two years later I gave the poptop away but removed the panel , that glue is mighty strong stuff .

What has made me happy. My awning hinges broke a little while again and I went back tonwhere I purchased the awning and they said that they had no parts to fix in and I will need a new awning. Well thanks to ebay and some girl power, i fixed the awning and de-moulded it at the same time. All it cost was $33.

Pictures of the fix please

After much hair pulling and choice words finally setup the spot trace tracker and wow , not only can I get a satellite photo I can get a map , resolution not good enough to make out a car just , but sheds houses trees there is no hiding from it .
Privacy isn't really an issue so you can still crap in the woods without the sat watching you but you can tell which house your item is hiding at or which shed its in .

Put up a pic in what did you buy today , yesterday.
It's a small GPS locator that you put on a vehicle, camper trailer etc and is fitted with a motion detector and GPS , the second someone moves your car or whatever it sends you an alert message and gives you the exact location from a satellite image or a map and the coordinates of where it is .
There are hundreds of these things on the market but which one to get , we decided not to cheap out and bought locally but if you buy over the net you can pick one up for $100 - $150 bucks but then you need to setup an account which costs $119 us money for a years subscription.
If you give your details to your mates and family they can watch you as you travel which can be handy because you can tell how long you have been in a particular location eg broken down or bogged , sick etc .
More important if someone pinches your whatever you can call the cops give them the log in details and get them to retrieve or you can track the barstards down for a bit of bush justice .
Only downside is you need internet to get an alert or track but for me I have a sat phone and can ask my son to tell me where it is .
