Hi LooLoo and Neil. Thanks as always. Yes, LooLoo, the weather is as it always is here... about 28 degrees C, a light breeze and sunny. The main perk of living in paradise. Neil, I like the "spike" dowel bonnet mount. I wish I had welded one on before painting... I suppose I could modify m...

Hi all. It's been a while since I've posted. Hi everyone. Happy New Year to you all. Hi Neil, Hi LooLoo, Clive and all the regulars. I've been making a spare tyre tie down strap and can't seem to work out why a strap is used when the big centre U Shaped bracket 335794 looks perfectly suitable for so...

I'm going to see what I can do to fit lap belts on the benches.
