John thanks, I'll get some pics tomorrow. Complete carb would be good if I can identify the right one as I put the float somewhere safe and now can't find it immediately! But yeah, the pointy end was down. Maybe someone removed it and re-fitted it upside down :-). As regards the drilling I...

hi all, how are you? I've got a b&q mower which has a copy of a Briggs & Stratton engine. It was left her by the previous bloke who lived here. It has run once - for a short time, but now no go. I've taken the carb off and there is as you'd expect a float which lifts a valve to stop the flow at...

Hi there, I make a lot of use of masking tape when painting. Anyway, I want / need to paint two trailer wheels, small wheels on a boat trailer. I can't easily take the tyres off, so I would like to mask them. Masking tape is out cos it only goes in straight lines! Is there anything you can put...

STem, that is fantastic thank you very much. I can' t find any button to click saying "this has answered my question" but it has. Regards, Terry

hi all, I need to check the pump cos I get hw but when I switch to ch it seems the pump does not run. I've crawled all over roof space (a bungalow) but no sign of it. My previous house was not combi so pump was next to hw cylinder. Don't know where it would be in a combi. Could it be in with the...

foxhole, thanks for your reply. No the doors don't have holes precut unfortunately. As it turns out I can't use lay on hinges because if I "close" the lay on hinge, i.e. set it as it would be with the door closed (ow that spring's strong!), it sticks out too far from the side panel, around 33...

I've some work to do to fit integrated fridge freezer doors (the kind where the appliance door has its own hinges and the furniture door has separate ones). Do I actually need cup holes? There are hinges that just screw on to the face of the door, so I wonder if I can use these? Are they...

Hi all, don't know if I should be adding to this old thread or creating another one, but the subject is kitchen cabinet door hinges. The above is about drilling cup holes. I've some more work to do (integrated fridge freezer doors [the kind where the appliance door has its own hinges and the...

Thank you very much chaps. Can't see how to mark this as solved / thanked. I'll have a got as soon as it stops looking like rain! Regards, Terry

Thanks Bosswhite. Not sure I've understood regarding the frame though. The frame has a side panel which the hinges are screwed into (in my case on the left as you stand outside looking at the doorway) and opposite that a side panel with holes for the latches to go into (on the left) Also of...

Many thanks chaps. Ah, so what about the frame? is the part of the frame where the hinges are fastened to also grey, and the part of the frame where the latch etc. go into white, to be the same as the edge of the door nearest to them? Or would they be white? TIA, regards, Terry.

Hi all, could you help with a question please? I'm painting an external door, grey on the outside, white on the inside. OK, now I'm wondering about the edges. I thought maybe there is a convention? E.g. paint the edges the same colour as the side towards which the door opens. This door opens...

Ah I've just found this : http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infdoor/infdoorhand.html where it explains it. I need a right hand hinge Thanks anyway, answered my own question :-o ! Regards, Terry.

Hi all, I'm trying to order a pair of curved rail hinges for a gate with a curved top. These seem to have plates with hinge posts which fit onto the face of the gatepost, then the hinge arm (the bit fastened onto the gate) is cranked to sit the gate into the opening. This means that these hinges...

Ar thanks all! Ordered this machine.

ah thanks rocks1. looks like a good machine, might go for it. The way it projects the time onto the floor in a light beam is cool no? Regards Terry

Hm not easy to find out about this. I'm looking at a SMV69M01GB from Bosch and - maybe I didn't explain my question very well - but they didn't seem to know if it is "furry" on the sides or metal/plastic. One photo from the side or a 45 degree angle would do but all the sites just show a "full...

Thanks JohnD yes it won't be seen, but if possible I'd like one that was steel or placky on the outside. I don't know but it looks like a reservoir for damp to me. Previous integrated dishwashers I've had didn't have this,at least not on the outside, but of course that was a few years ago...

hi all, I'm looking for an integrated dishwasher. I've had these in the past and they were in a steel or plastic enclosure, same as a freestanding one, only of course slightly smaller. The ones I'm seeing online now have a sort of furry insulation on the outside. This won't be seen of course...

Dave54, I looked at our local lidl and they have the pillar drill - not sure for a total of six holes (3 doors). Still thinking about it. Chud, yes thanks I've been thinking about templates. I've actually drilled a hinge hole in a bit of spare wood about 30 x 15 centimetres, 20 mil thick (as are...
