Modifications and insurance

[Avocet]

Yes, I am at one with wood engineering as well. Wood is very strong.

Or, "how to tell us you're spectacularly ignorant of engineering principles, without actually saying it"...

Quite suitable for some purposes - they built some aircraft from it, during the war, but there are limits.

How are your wooden pistons and valves fairing?

 

[Brigadier]

The contract doesn't say I can't replace car parts using DIY wood pieces. According to you I could use wood to make a control arm?

You're happy to balance a car on a Jenga tower though

 

[DiyNutJob]

How are your wooden pistons and valves fairing?

My jenga is doing quite well, thank you. I have a small sloped one. I went up and down on it a few times because I kept dropping stuff down the engine bay.

 

[DiyNutJob]

Who are you with?

Can't remember.

Since you have so many T&C's, you can compare them and see if the insistence on the use of approved parts is common to all of them. We are dying to know.

The china bearing precision was right on the money. The inner race was an exact fit, making my improvised mini-bearing press perfectly adequate. Here's my giving the shaft circlip a final push to make sure it sat fully in the groove. The force was such that I curved the 3 stacked small washers closest to the thrust nut. There's more power to the M6 press than expected. I can't test the AC until tomorrow to allow the thread lockers to cure for 24 hours. I am quite hopeful I will have a like-new AC.

I thought you knew?

 

[DiyNutJob]

I thought you knew?

I do. It's the other trollers here who need convincing.

 

[Mottie]

I do. It's the other trollers here who need convincing.

How do you know if you can’t lay your hands on your T&C's? What insurance company are you with - let me know and I’ll look it up for you if you're having trouble.

 

[DiyNutJob]

How do you know if you can’t lay your hands on your T&C's?

I know from not seeing the evidence for the contrary when the evidence is easy to produce.

 

[Mottie]

Try again. Use English though.

No, we are not

We, apart from you, are fully aware of our t's and c's

 

[DiyNutJob]

Ok, explain what you know. I will see if you really know.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

I've explained it before. As have others.

If it hasn't gone in by now, repeating it won't change anything.

You do realise that nobody agrees with you?

He's winding us up. Just play along with him - he enjoys being teased. Look on him as a kitten and you can be the feather on a piece of string.
