BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Changed the design and added a 3rd o ring in the middle of the bobbin. It stabilises the assembly and provides more sealing without having to squash the two end seals so much with the adjuster. The end seals must be compressed slightly or petrol leaks up the centre of the bobbin where the adjuster fits through. Will write some fitting instructions as they must be adjusted/set up so they are leak proof but still operate freely. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Bill. Do you have a part # for these mirror arms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or is the idea to put them through from the outside and the push the pipe on from the inside ? Must admit the tubes were difficult to get through the holes in the bodywork , but I pushed a smaller plastic pipe into the end of the rubber pipe which then poked through the hole. Seems to work, but not sure if caught in a downpour. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 15 minutes ago, Z320 said: some wood work, to do something different I was always told not to put a perch on the outside of a bird box. To quote the RSPB: "Do not fix a perch on the front of any box, as this will encourage intruders. Birds don't need a perch in order to use the box. " Something really worthwhile doing is to fit a small camera inside. (Bit late for this season though.) We have had blue tits nesting in a box for the past few years and each time we have been able to watch 6-8 of the birds hatching. Also a bit sad though as always some don't make it. Charlie.

john.r.davies Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I did this, Charlie, and the tits had nine chicks. Which all died over a 24hour period! Quite put my wife off nest cams after that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He have mostly sparrows here, making us several times proud uncle and aunt each year. Currently blue tits occupied the nest cave I made for redstarts, hoped they will nest on your house again.

David Owen Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I started organizing parts. Those I had removed, primarily TR4 parts, and those that came with the car, a mix. I'd already done it once. Is it wrong to not want to throw original TR parts that are not functioning or worn out out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) A couple of projects To replace the seal in brothers TR2 water pump. Make a bung for the top of the gearbox where a dipstick would go. This is needed because the top cover has been drilled too far to one side so the dipstick touches a rotating bit.
