john.r.davies Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Why complicate it? Sure, a Carcoon has all the bells and whistles, but one of those is £700 to three times as much. Plastic joints, bamboo and clingfilm, I'm sure £50 would do it. But I've seen garden fruit cages, metal, with plastic netting to keep the birds out and a built in door, for less than £300. The clingfilm and a fan would be extra, but the mesh would support the first and the fan costs less than a fiver. This is an an exercise in KISS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zip it closed just for storage. The cling film won't be robust enough, talk to your local packaging firm for stabilised plastic sheet that'll last 5 or 6 years. Mick Richards Plus a zippered and velcroed door on one side so you can get in and out. I was lucky to buy mine from a trade seller a few years ago and paid £400 for it, well worth it and does the job for lots of years. Plus if I did ever want to sell it there is a good s/hand market for them. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny TR6 Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Don't depress the clutch pedal while starting- unlike most modern cars. When starting with a depressed clutch the thrust bearings have a high loading, but no oil pressure. (Courtesy of Mike C) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
