new tools after theving c@#$'s cleaned out all my spanners socket sets etc from my ute sunday nite
H/D Front and Rear Adjustable panhards
Bought a high output soldering iron for all those cable connections using large cables and where absolute connection certainty is required. The finished quality of the tool is poor, mine came with missing screws and was actually damaged in transit
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/500W-220...AAOSwJJRZqS3st
due to inadequate packing materials, however after a bit of stuffing around I got it working. It takes about 10 minutes to reach soldering temp, but once there, cable size such as on winch or dual battery connections are a breeze. Recommend it for the workshop - unsure what size inverter you would need if wanting to use it mobile.
Wow that's a beast! I just use a gas torch when soldering big cables.Quote:

I reckon it takes 20 minutes to cool down after use, so just another hazard to watch out for.Quote:

Thanks. I have a big list of stuff to fit to both Patrol and Jayco. I need to eject the wife car out of the garage for a while again I think.Quote:

Funny you should say that as I purchased the new bolts from Patrol a Part and they seemed expensive until I tried to get a spare set using commercially avail stock from a bolt supplier. The PAP factory genuine units are half the price of the generic ones. I have since purchased a pair for spares from PAP. Unfortunately I will have to destroy the drivers side front/long bolt as the belly tank is nestled right up and past the bolt in the direction it needs to be pulled out. I am not dropping the tank to get it out, so the angle grinder will take the head off and simply reverse the installation so bolt comes in from the outside to the nut. I think @AB and @Rossco went this path also when they mounted their tanks.Quote:

You will have to cut a few mm off the new bolt when installing the other way around too mate. I had to remove that bolt over the weekend too and had to take off my rock slider to get it out but that is a lot easier than dropping the tank.Quote:

Then, she turns and walks towards a couch full of BLOODY CUSHIONS. At this point my alter ego erupted and I 'apparently yelled, NO MORE BLOODY CUSHIONS'and the entie shop went quiet. Wife looks at me in disgust, walks to the register and buys the rug, We are now at home,physically separated by 100ft of house and a cone of silence - I am in heaven!Quote:

I'd be bloody pissed if i went to use it and it was empty!!
Left side is a gas bbq an the right side is a smoker/solid fuel... I've been walking past it for weeks at ALDI sitting on the tight arse pallet and went for it. $250 down from $400 apparently.
GME XRS compact CB arrived... jeeeezus they are compact all right... the TXR is about the size of a pack of ciggys... the handpiece is bigger and heavier!!!
Interest in what you think of it...Quote:

I know they are only like a $1 but saves having to source one if needed.
Still need to SWR the install so haven't done any 'rubber duckin' yet.
Yeah when we buy the new car I think we will go for that model. I would want something like this so the mic can be stored away and you would not know there is a uhf there at all.

Nice bit of kit, especially now with the location services firmware. I went for the 370 instead of the 330 on dealers advise, better circuitry apparently in the bigger one...still small asQuote:

Also gotta say that the access to trim etc on Y62's is very user friendly... most comes on and off in a jiffy
Bought a second hand X-Terra 705 metal detector for a bargain!
I'm going to be rich with all the nails and bottle tops I find, can't wait!
An Ultragauge,
3 new kitchen mats and a mop bucket (no, you actually don't want to know) and;
