Yeah cheers, I think this is the route I’ll be going down. I’ll put a concrete base down and secure the trailer to a ground anchor with a separate key operated bollard in front of the doors. Good idea with the light, however I’ve got a spare tube heater gathering dust. I’ll update the...

I didn’t add a link or pic. Was just trying to see if anyone had built/bought anything like that. All the stuff I’ve seen has been far to big, or a temporary structure like an inflatable

Hi all, Just wondering if any of you guys have or have used a dedicated small shed/garage? I haven’t got room in my garage as I’ve turned it into a full workshop. I’ve got a large drive and front garden however and was thinking about putting up one of these in o W corner. I’d need it to be...

Exactly this ^ If it’s being a pain in the ass, use I high wattage soldering iron to heat the screw up. Doubt it’ll need it, just use the right tool

I genuinely think the Tapatalk app has gone downhill in the last six months. There have been similar issues on another forum I mod in. We all thought it was the base forum DB and it turned out to be the Tapatalk algorithms. Ah well, I’ll go back to manually checking dates before I post. Yay.

Wtf? Tapatalk on my phone listed these as new topics today!? Urgh, sorry guys. Didn’t mean to revive the dead :(

Mine had the same issue and it turned out the actual nylon nipple was cracked. Some over-eager rocket scientist put the hose clamp on with the force of god behind him. I had to cut it off with a small cut off wheel. The genius used a mild steel clamp. Needles to say when I did my full rebuild...

Fuel tubing from nitro RC cars is cheap and available in any colour needed. I used clear just as I already had a reel. Other than that - Tygon is the way forward

Massive agreement here from me. I’d never use bondo (we call it bodge or just body filler in the UK), unless it was an emergency/weekend fix. It is useful for certain things, but for a quality finish that isn’t going to be covered by anti foul, then doing it properly is the only way to go. Good...

Just looks like keel rub? Can’t really make out the angle. For something that fine you could always just do a light gel. There’s plenty of places online where you can use your HIN to look up your colour. If you want it flat, check it with a metal rule too see how deep the curve is. Die grind...

Too many variables here to make any kind of accurate input. However I’d say just run it and see how it feels. If it feels like you’re underpowered use good quality compression gauge, or even better a couple and average them. Going just from your first numbers it’s a bit low, BUT if you weren’t...

If you’re being really frugal and trying not to spend money, you could run a soldering iron round the seam with a flat tip on the iron. Go slow and make sure you’re sealing it neatly. Personally I’d just replace the tank, but thought I’d mention that there are alternatives...

Check the oil line at the bottom isn’t split at the hose barb from a clip pulling too tight or a cracked line. I had this after tightening down the jubilee clip which had a casting defect on it and it started to cut through the hose. If it’s burning too much oil you’ll know by checking your...

I believe it’s driven by a little wheel, as opposed to GPS or pito-pressure like some outboards.

Didn’t someone on here have one that used a quarter and JB Weld? [emoji23]
