To clarify, the dailymail says:- “Most police forces have a tolerance of 10 per cent plus 2mph above the limit before drivers face prosecution for speeding.” HOWEVER, this is in an article that states:- “In a new report, set to be published tomorrow, the All Parliamentary Group for Cycling...

According to the reviews of the storage boxes on Amazon (all using aluminium as a shield), they don’t always work, hence I wondered if lead would be better? Sorry if is not the right sub for this mods, but this technical sub seemed the best place for my question.

Additionally, my understanding is that if you are clocked by a FIXED speed camera, that uses the lines on the road to determine your speed, then you will receive a speeding ticket for 1mph or more above the limit!

I will be away from home for 4 or 5 weeks, and yesterday I approached a police speed trap van while doing about 41/42 in a 40 limit zone, and quickly dabbed the brakes to get it just below 40. I know they are supposed to give you an allowance but am concerned that if they write to me, I will...

I have placed an order for a new GR86 with Toyota Online, but they want me to insure the vehicle before it is registered so that they can tax it at the same time, but my insurance company NFU Mutual naturally require the registration number. Toyota Online say that many insurance companies will...

Thanks, yes it’s 16mm and I appear to have the 2 small plates to lock it onto the grinder.

Thanks, yes I’ve still got the box it came in, it’s a Wolf 4708 and it says 4” / 100mm, could be 30 or 40 years old!

The bracket is about 6mm thick x 75 x 35mm, see pic, and needs to be significantly reduced in size or cut off, and I was thinking of using my 4” Wolf Grinderette and wondering which type of disc would be best, so that I wouldn’t need to apply too much pressure on the plate, so as not to damage...

Yeah, you are better off buying or making a new handle as if you repair it, then it could break again and cause you an injury.

I didn’t have to measure the diameter, the stainless ones are about 3/4 of the diameter of the Spax!
