Dad found this for pump and I have taken it on to repair it. I reached out to an expert for advice on the seal which I believe is leather.
We visited the Tank Museum again yesterday, as we had 1 year free re-entry tickets. It was good to go again, they’d changed a lot of of the displays and vehicles around. So it was different enough. we also saw inside of the vehicle conservation building this time: That is the actual tank used in the film Fury, which I have never seen, but I have seen the tank… they had something like 140 tanks in there apparently, I didn’t count them but there are cetainly a lot, as the fella said it’s like tank tetrus in there. I feel that this is a great example of the law of horizontal surfaces, which is, “if you have them you will fill them”.
At lunchtime today I set about trying to see what affect articulation has on the propshaft length.
I have been asked to repair an old gate hinge at the Church, were the pin is worn out I shall be replacing it with a bush that will be drilled and tapped and bolted to existing hinge mount. I was also asked to reduce this bird box hole down to attract smaller birds only.
I have created a new revision of the code that runs on the Land Rover Arduino. This extra bit of code will run a bit of program that just loops, flashing the front head lights. Here it is in the simulator in action.
I discovered three 5m lengths of 25mm diameter rusty steel bars tucked in the rafters of the garage. I called Alan to discuss what they might be, he proposed wall tie rods, i feel that’s pretty probably and am willing to run with that. I wondered what to do with them and hit on an idea, i shall make a swing frame from them. I put a nice bend in one tonight. Stuck tthe blow torch on it for a bit and just bent it nicely right in the middle. Now i need to drag the others out and do the same to another. Then weld a cross beam in, perhaps bolt? I don’t know, need to think about it’s construction. If it’s fully welded it’ll be jolly heavy and also not collapsible.
This is a pan break that I modelled and produced the drawings for so that a friend could make it. Someone else designed this here: http://users.beagle.com.au/lathefan/panbrake.pdf Here is the link to the original Onshape cad workings: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4e084330c4bb2c72d9c473c3/w/7f1fe66a99922d5bb992e55a/e/e9faf74864547b1cbc168896?renderMode=0&uiState=625fe846beff82562db9b28d Here is a PDF export of the drawings:
