It wasn't that promiscuous, the family of two pins hadn't increased to three.

We got it sorted together Mike.


The en suite jacuzzi is going in on Wednesday or Thursday if Katie is near an airport.

^ if you go uprate your feed to three phase get Balders on speed dial.

Is it me or are there a lot of argumentative Aussies on here lately - all F'ing and blinding, a Brit can't post without some Bogan or faux wannabe Aussie climbing on his back.

^^^^^^Top electrical bodging!

I got to work on my mower cord replacement - measured out to match in racy red

Luckily still have some paracord leftover from my SAS days

Jobs a good'un

Took a photo of the fuel line I bodgily fixed 1 year ago with silicon just to show off in the thread that my bodge is holding up

But my pride was punctured to find that the fuel line had sprung a new leak at the other end

Clean it up with soap for good bodge adhesion

Then to take my bodginess to new levels I dispensed with the roofing silicon and went with bathroom white silicon

Finally got back out in my sock-gaiters only to have to effect a field repair when my over dangly cord got snapped somehow by getting tangled in the blades. Lost the handle so had to make a paracord loop

Maybe I need a bigger mower

Anyone got a bodge for a rattly passenger dashboard? glove compartment already checked and decluttered with 10 tonnes of crud removed.


Electrical plugs can be used.

Great Idea! so when you fall of the roof, you take the TV antena with you,it hits you over the head and knocks you out, so you don't feel the pain from your Broken bones,

Maybe time for a new bit of fuel hose?
And, yes, you need a bigger mower. And a goat.

would be great and then in about a year you could turn it into bone in mutton curry - delicious.

How do you turn a goat into a sheep?

a well travelled man like yourself knows that goat meat is largely referred to as mutton in places like India, there is another meat referred to as mutton which you'll see in most town centres after dark.

The sheep could be his Greatest Of All Time.



Curry.

Not lover.


Hopefully.

One man's bodge is another man's good enough.

I don't think you are understanding the theme of the thread Shu!

My bodginess confidence was boosted by the year long success of my roofing silicone bodge on the upper tube section so I thought I would really push my luck with the lower section!

I drain the fuel after each mow which is good practice anyway but essential when you are sailing close to the wind with a double fuel line bodge

Good to see the Dancer has finally busted out of the monkeyhouse after being banged up for a decent stretch

Looks like you have not sorted yourself out with an Avatar yet..... LatinDancer II - The Way of Porage

The bodge to end all bodges.


Edith's aunt was back around, so took another look while they were nattering.

Seemed to be actually emanating from the rear view mirror. Which has a larger clip on mirror with rear view camera screen attached over the OEM mirror.

I immediately got to work sourcing some sort of cushion between the two.

There was a box of paper-ish face masks on the back seat, so got to work, folding two paper face masks carefully and placing them on the left and right side between the two rear view mirrors to form a perfect cushion of silence.


'dashboard' rattle fixed, refusing to say how, and I am now known as Super Ed within the greater family.

Which, to be honest, I'm absolutely comfortable with.

I had one of those in the Chevy, but after I lowered the suspension it bounced off every time I went over a bump so had to fk it off.

^ a simple job for paper face mask + pritt-stick + Edmond.

Glue might have worked come to think of it.

Ask Looper to borrow his silicon sealant. Great for bathrooms. I believe it works really well on hot engines too.

Nice wee project bike.

Was looking at picking up the feisty lil' SP version with the single swingarm a few years ago, but then decided it really isn't a good idea to be going 200kph on something that weighs 50kg and has been bodged together by yours truly.

Hopefully it's just a hose, ay?

i'd say so too, you need about an 3/4 to 1 inch deflection in the middle of the chain
