You're welcome to bring it to my 12T hydraulic press, I'm based in Wantage. I see you're in Swindon, 20-30 mins.

Just pink or camo pink? ;)

A friend asked me about a "Doer Compact Tool Kit" TBH I've never heard of it and have no idea if it's worth it. He has very limited space and quite likes the unit. https://manofmany.com/living/doer-compact-tool-kit-kills-the-tool-shed Anyone actually tried it? ... or seen it in action?

We owned a few landies back in Zimbabwe and South Africa, pretty dry climate so corrosion not a problem.

Very interesting link thanks! ...and a helpful answer. The reason I asked the question is because my motorhome has a strap from engine to chassis on LHS of vehicle, whereas the battery is on RHS with a short cable to chassis. Therefore current is flowing through the chassis. I have no corrosion...

Has anyone actually experienced galvanic corrosion caused by a common negative (neutral) using the chassis, particularly in a vehicle with a leisure battery? I know the theory that a DC-DC (B2B) charger based on common negative using the chassis instead running negative cables could cause some...

I realised the other day that my shopping habits have changed a bit in the last few months. For the last two or three years I have bought almost everything from Amazon because: 1) they were cheaper 2) the review system offered handy info and feedback 3) returns policy was (and still is) great...

If by "vintage Rolls-Royce" you mean a 1994 FIAT Ducato then yes. I couldn't believe how expensive they are. Don't appear to be overly complicated. Rusted quite a bit so not particularly special metal. Having said that once all the surface rust removed they appear to be fine. And yes, saved...

I had originally thought to buy new carriers but found they cost about £115 each!

Completed first carrier. Left on electrolysis for about four hours, washed and hand-brushed. Painted with red oxide.

We've used a TPlink deco m4 (3 pack) for over a year and very happy with it. My brother and son also use it - brilliant.

I did some testing and it worked well. Put my brake caliper carrier in and it's cleared pretty well. I'll post photos of before and after when I've finished cleaning and painting.

If I sandblast I'll simply avoid machined surfaces and clean around them with a brush instead. Perhaps I'll also plug them up with something. I was planning on doing this anyway. If everything goes very wrong a new spindle is not that cheap but won't totally break the bank either.

I actually have a sand blaster and plenty of space, just thought to do something different and fun. I'm not in a rush, so would prefer a better finish than doing it fast (or even easier).

I'm about to strip my spindle down on my Fiat Ducat motorhome. I'm planning to get rid of the rust and prep for paint before I reassemble with new bearings. My question is: if I use electrolysis to remove the rust (washing soda with 12v battery charger), is there a possibility of damaging the...

My son recently used these on a small table top, worked really well: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Premium-Hairpin-Table-Legs-Desk-Bench-FREE-Screws-AND-Protector-Feet-Steel-/142669072156

I'd say you could make your own joists for a reasonable expense. But as I'm not a structural engineer I don't know the actual calculations, I'd simply go somewhat over the top. This design appeals to me as it would be pretty easy to construct using the tools at my disposal:

One of the BP technical service engineers explained to me that all I needed in order to deal with most of the rust is to have my workshop 1 degree above ambient. I have a plastic shed inside a barn where I store most of my tools, and all I did was keep an old incandescent light bulb on which...

An engineer told me recently that in order to reduce rust to an acceptable level all you need to do is keep your workshop 1 degree above ambient. If it's well sealed even an on incandescent bulb helps to reduce rust due to the heat it generates. That's what he does anyway. I did that last year...
