OT - small air compressors
Tue, 6 Oct 2009 03:50:05 +0100
I have just acquired a very tidy little compressor, just the thing for
running a number of Stuart Turner steam models at an exhibition. The tank
says it is made in Spain and it may well be ten years old or so. There is a
complete dearth of manufacturers information anywhere on it, just a
"Clavair" sticky labe ...

One of those days
Sun, 4 Oct 2009 19:51:40 +0100
Last night my steel supplier delivered a piece if 1.5 in bar so that I could
make a bush for Charles so this morning I set to.

I then decided that I had a reduced ...

O/T car clutch
Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:49:54 -0700 (PDT)
My car clutch began dragging a few weeks back. It turned out the

these fail before. The last two clutch changes (different cars) have
been because of this bearing. Both had d ...
