Nice pair of machines john..

Thanks Chris, photo of tin would be good. I’m referring to them as igniters, is this the correct term?
Your MG40 has the Drayton doesn’t it? What’s it like for starting, can you start it without an igniter during the summer?

Thanks for the video Charlie, that looks to be a good alternative. Must give that a try.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Glad to hear your ok anyway. p.s. are they an expensive Item to buy these igniters

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks John, regarding workout, trying to start the Sachs engine without the igniters certainly gave me a workout. My right arm was a good few inches longer than my left by the time I admitted defeat and went to get the igniters.

One final touch before decals and that’s the home made transport wheels. have given this some thought as some rotovators rely on the operator to push them to the garden and if your aging that could tire you out before even fighting with the machine in work mode. So take the lot with you and let the machine pull you along ,makes good sense to me. The rotars are about one and a half inches off the ground when wheels attached,so no damage to pavements as you travel along to the allotment

Just trying to figure out what and how various attachments fit to the exhibits, would really like to see the E-type rip up a field. 🙂

Nice workout rob and without the starters you would have been might i say it ….stumped. Just had to do it

Once was on a large pipeline job and when over six skips turned up.later on the containers where emptied and one had two tons of nuts and bolts inside so removed from skip and went to scrap yard four times made nearly a weeks wage on being a womble

Have been lucky at work this week because we are putting up a huge shed size 100 meters by 80 meters,and of course I am on the beg for anything I can use for restos. for example all sizes of new nuts,bolts and washers and steel flat bar of all sizes. I don’t feel bad about being on the tap because it saves me some cash……..Have now finished the rear depth leg and is sporting some new bolts. also this week have been given 2 rear wheels and tyres from a scrap ride on mower and am in the process of making some transport wheels for this also.

Thanks for that Chris, have looked it up and it looks to be ideal. Could have done with some ACF50 on my dads last two 110s, they were terrible for rust.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Give it a spray over with ACF50. It protects metal. Not cheap at arround £15 per spray can

Just brought some for my Landrover & have used it on some workshop machinery protection

Google it & see what comes up

Thats a machine which just needs to be left how it it like

[vhgmcbuddy]

I am still arround Paul.

Just read most of the time unless I can help

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thank you for that, Smashing! right on my doorstep! Regards
