    This might go very good, or very bad.

    Am I right in thinking it will be £0 and Clean Air Zones (CAZ) and Low Emission Zones (LEZ)exempt ? That could be worth a bob or two ? Paul

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    Got a chance to use the grinder today , and the brackets were trimmed down to allow them to be mounted as high as possible , this puts the beams underneath the slats at a suitable height [ I hope ] :- They are currently bolted to a beam that is the full width of the bed and I am hoping that can...

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    Luckily I can live without the sink unit , I would rather have the wider bed. They have a longer bed by swapping the passenger seat for a ' fold flat ' seat , however I saw a review that said they were very very uncomfortable and I don't think they have the side airbags either so although I...

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    As always juggling the available space ! Copied from someone else , I was going to make a wooden vertical tab and slot till I realised it would be hard to make as the angles needed did not suit thick plywood and the loads involved. Now what do you make of this ? It is exactly the same...

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    I saw your original comment in the email ;) Periodically I shut the rear door too see what happens , it just kept pushing the box up against the back of the back seat , so that is where I have left it. Oddly to get the rear seat up , I need to first move the box to the rear unfold the seat...

    Handcycle steering

    But why a tadpole all commercial hand cycles I have seen are deltas , much easier to make and the chains are much shorter. Oh and they are much easier to get onto if you have mobility problems Paul

    Warrior Wheels

    Yes these can be confusing , however IF the tyres fit the rims then they are 20" rims. This is the bible for all things bicycle Sheldon Brown wheels Use 2 or 3 spoke calculators and take an average , if in doubt add a few mm they can always be taken off with a file when the wheel is built and...

    Can I remove these magnets ?

    Looks like it may be keyed in , I will take some better pictures. Sadly no , I do know a man with one , however not worth bothering him just to attempt some magnet recovery ! DannyC suspects they are epoxied in and will ' self destruct ' [ very brittle ] if any attempt is made to lever them...

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    Other chairs are available ? there are 4 on the front lawn , 3 of which are visible surrounding the bench saw post #69 ? Quick photo-montage of the garage :- So how many unfinished projects can you see now ? I think it is fair to say the bench saw needed emptying ? No wonder it would not...

    Can I remove these magnets ?

    Hi all Just wondered if these magnets can be removed ? I did remove a cir-clip from the grove visible in the shaft , however not seemed to make much difference ? Before it goes to the dump ? They may come in handy for the camper ? Paul

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    Well this is all rather embarrassing as men generally are not fond of talking about their feelings ? However despite years of trying really hard and a lot of self discipline I still have only reached a Brown belt and now despair that I won't live long enough to become a Black belt :cry: Of...

    MicroCamper - Winter project

    So in a change to the advertised program [ Cooker drawer ] we have dragged this from the back of the garage due to the unseasonably nice weather. Now SWMBO was told I was cutting sticks from an old fence panel , and yes I did that and made maybe a months worth to go into store.... However I...
