I've settled for Screwfix who do some dual purpose self-tapping/wood ones.

It's finally happened, we have Covid in the house. After successfully avoiding it for ages my wife caught it at a big family event where not attending wasn't really an option.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
It was my thought but you need to lock the two cams, pump and crankshaft. If you cant get the pins in its nit timed. Bloody thing drives like a dream and pulls well. I can have it in 5th and doing 35mph and it pulls away just fine. Next is check any brake drag and i also have a big magnetic brake assist that slows the prop. That is heavy and old so coming out and a new to me prop going in.

Prop brake! What is it, a commercial vehicle or coach? Not sure I'd remove it as they work well to stopping brake fade on older vehicles...

Its a Coachsmith Convoy Bus what is larger than the average Convoy and made of alloy and fiberglass. Its a Mk6 transit engine and has ABS. Many never had the extra brake but this was in service in Welsh Wales so presumably ordered for its location in the valley's. Its a heavy old unneeded lump of metal that is going in a fortnight.

Tis a thing of beauty! Service it! You drive all over Europe don't you? That would be handy winding down the alps, or the Ardeche etc. Have you ever gone on a weighbridge when fully loaded?Felix wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:28 pmIts a Coachsmith Convoy Bus what is larger than the average Convoy and made of alloy and fiberglass.

Proving inconclusively that beauty is most definitely in the eye of the beholder.

I'm annoyed at myself for not checking current eBay fees. I sold my bicycle for £530 and they paid me £461.86. Thats a chunk of anyone's change!
Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I sold something for similar money recently and I was also shocked at the cost.

I just listed a motorbike as a classified ad, I went for a classified cos all the auction options, even the fixed price/buy it now had a listing fee of £15ish and then 1% of the sales price on top wen it sells!

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I only ever sell anything these days of even vaguely significant value when there's a deal on for final value fees, which is every couple of weeks. Used to get max £1 but more recently it's been 80% off.
