Not today but on Sunday I bought a Rivnut Kit and some 10mm eye bolts was going to install various rivnuts in my tray and move the eye bolts around as tie down points depending on what I have on the tray. Sick of all my gear sliding around when I'm on rough tracks. Kit does up to 10mm thread

That's awesome, well done GUBF !! Never knew Kingchrome made em, gonna have to get one of them if you don't mind me asking how much $ mate? We've been using elcheapo home made nut&bolt versions onsite as we could only afford one of the pneumatic factory line ones @ $2.5k :-(
When using Rivnuts/Nutserts for tray mount eyebolts I would like to recommend adding an extra topside backing nut to the eyebolt as the Riv/Serts are very soft and need help with lateral force if that makes sense mate?
That was $138 at Bunnings (https://www.bunnings.com.au/kincrome...t-kit_p5910346) and I think Toolmart over here had them for $145 but pretty sure Toolmart is a WA business. They must have just released it as I was looking at one about 12 months ago from Eclipse but that was closer to or over $200 from memory.Quote:

Should've added, when we do need to remove one due to found maintenance torque slippage it's as easy as a long bolt inserted and heaved in circular motions and or nip off the topside sert lip and the guts of it fall inside/down. They are great things, just please don't rely on them for big sideways loads folks :-)
Sorry mate, typing same time, takes me ages:-)
Correct you are, and Cheers heaps for the links, legend :-)
Been lucky enoung to be using rivnuts from the late 70's seeingQuote:

A litre bottle on Old No.7 and a 700ml of Tennesee Fire. And two bottles of red. Lol. @gubigfish. I have the same kit. I cannot grasp the adjustments of this thing. I either do them too lose, or too tight and the pull through the panel. Grrrr.
I bought a redarc G52-EB, EGT and Boost gauge a few days ago, it arrived today and I notice it has a 1/8th NPT Male thread x 3/16" (4.75mm) Thermocouple Fitting, but I needed a 1/4" NPT male thread for my Manta 3" Exhaust. I had a couple of adapters at work for 1/8"-1/4" NPT, but these don't really allow the probe to sit in far enough if used.
I ended up buying a standard SS316 compression fitting from Pro-Chem in Perth, (Part Number 3-CM4-316) 1/4" Male NPT to 3/16" Tube. The problem with the usual compression fittings for SS Tube is that they are not designed to allow the tube to pass right through. The easy fix is to throw a 5mm drill bit through it (I had no imperial bits) and all is good in the world. Total cost was $14.50, beats paying Redarc another $50 for their 1/4" fitting.
I remember a similar thing mate when I put a 3inch pipe on mt 3ltr. So to fix that I simply cut the bung length down. Fixed in 5 minutes.Quote:

Ahhh, got it now. I was going to cut my adapter in half, as it was fairly long but decided on just buying the right size fitting and drilling it out so the probe would fit through. Hopefully I can get the EGT gauge fitted this weekend, I also bought the Boost fitting kit that 3D linked to above, so should be good to go.Quote:

This one has blinkers and god knows what else for $119 our money plus $23 delivery their money so I still get it for under $150 delivered .
Still have to make a bracket to suit the GQ but I think I can do it , might even hook the blinkers up but not sure I need heated function .

Link doesn't work apparently but they are the same as the GU owner had but basic black in colour .
Got a refund for 4 old camping mats that were leaking air and then got 4 new replacement ones!

Then whilst I was there, also bought a new tent for the family from Costco for $120 - one of the Coleman instant tents which will hopefully made set outs a lot easier!!

That's a great price on the tent. Pity we don't have Costco
Yeh it was a massive impulse buy, main thing was my other tents couldn't fit 4 sleeping mats side by side, so the kids would always end up sleeping ontop of the wife which wasnt very comfortable for her.... I was happy as Larry all by myself though hahahaQuote:

One of these babies. Have a perfect bracket for it too. Just gotta find the right hoses now...

@Hodge you can buy different fitting for those catch cans to suit different vehicles.
sometimes the hoses dont match both ends
Picked up my new trailer this morning. Now to go and use it.

Yup no grease in the rear axle.
This was in days of no smart phones but i wish i had a camera to take a photo of the glowing axle ... lol. Was very impressive.

The one i bought for my 3L was a full kit from western filters... even though they supplies wrong hoses. But thats an old story .Quote:

No guarantees that your wife will be left alone mate, kids always end up next to, then on mum.. When mine were old enough we brought 2 Coleman instant up 4p tents. That fixed that.Quote:

As threedogs mentioned in your thread, it'll make a brilliant work station for cutting wood.
Wished I had mine sheeted today..
I don't reckon I'd use it if I had it mate. I refill and sharpen on the ground.Quote:

Anyway... Went for a quick drive this arvo but struggled to find much good wood. Ran out of time so probably only got a couple of hundred kg of wood. New chainsaw has serious balls and the trailer tows well.
