Wife`s, sorry girlfriend back then nail polish to the rescue. Stopped the high voltage tracking through the crack and we completed the meet.
Ps don't use the one with glitter in it.
As a Radio Technician I always had some nail polish on my bench to lock trimpots in place after adjusting them. (would occasionally do my toe nails too)Quote:

Bought a new steering coupling as the old one is cracked. Will get a gu steering box in the near future and fit it all up.
4 x Cooper ST 285/75/R16's with probably just under half the tread on them for $150! Getting 4 new sunnies for them and they will be my roadies so I don't kill my 315 KM2's...
Gotta love it. My previous roadies I paid $399 for the five with rims around 18months ago. Done 50k on them and sold them last week for $400!!!! So they cost me nothing to run on....
I missed out on a great set on Coopers today but they were for 17's, 5 sold for under $200 with atleast 70percent tread, as I was contemplating getting some GUIV alloys. Not now....
Finally scored a maxtrax rear wheel carrier for the Simmo trip now I won't have to think of some other way to carry them.
I made a set of pins for a local bloke which go threw the holes on the tracks and mount to the roof rack sides.Quote:

Just drill a hole in the end for a ring pin or R clip or padlock to hold em on with and a bit or the foam floor matting spiked over the mounts behind the tracks to stop vibrations..

His were the green tracks, mounted above his rear passengers door..
Good idea but make sure you use silastic on the head of the boltQuote:

Telescope some RHS and away you go,
I got it yesterday. Oh well.
Hopefully I will never need to use this.....but don't we all say that about all recovery gear.
On a side note I got to meet threedogs, what a top guy and he knows his stuff too.

Maybe next time we go camping and she will see how much room we loss. Besides I'm not to fussed about that looking forward to other mods.
Bought a handheld radio with a bullbar mounted antennae so I can monitor channel 10 on the Simpson and the channel we use or use one as a scanner.
Hi Stropp I planned on taking our handheld radio as well.Quote:

What sort of antennae did you use?
Snicko you don't need another antennae but the one I bought had one with it so I just fitted it up, it was a 4.5 db one for close range hilly conditions so you can pick up over the Sandhills, my other one has a 6.5 db for longer range stuff on the flat.Quote:

Brought some 3mm Dyneema rope today, even this small its good for 1200KG

Its for a new product I'm working on
Bought and install new steering damper.
Bought a superior steering damper protection plate, all I can say is wow much better than the one I currently have more coverage under the car so happy with that.

Ferrets rear light bracket arrived today. Just waiting for the light from LED Light Co, and the rest of the dual battery setup, then I'll put it all together!
