cracking job sir!
only criticism.. which is a small one, is that it would be wise to put grommets in where the wires pass through metal holes.

Just for Mark.

Old fuse box lid and relay holder removed.

Replaced with a new lid and full width relay holder.

Good idea, great to keep it all in one place! Ive gone and put mine all over the place, neatly mind! But, being an electrician by trade, circuit diagrams are drawn and look confusing! Love the build auf, inspiringly good!

 

[discomark10]

Much better

does it mean this, when my kids send it or say it, i have t google it, as not to show my age or ignorance!! why carn't they talk proper fooking english!!

 

[Mr Noisy]

Ah, ambiguous.

I wasnt meaning Rah as in a 'Rah Boy' as in the link above, i meant a similar exclamation to "Ras!" which i would use as an exclamation of "OMG/no way/**** man/jeez" etc etc

Service time is upon me and I'm thinking of using these magnets on my diff/axle drain plugs - what do you guys think?

Yea looks good. Can you not fit a 5mm thick one... or even thicker?

I don't know, I've never undone one before? How much clearance is there once the plug is in?

Fix them on well, you don't want them coming loose..

I've just looked at these with a 5kg/12lb pull - would they need fixing on?

Personally I would get ones with a hole and tap the plug. But you could clue them. Is the plug steel? In theory provding it doesnt come in contact with the diff or get pushed off it should stay on

 

[Mr Noisy]

Hi chaps

Just bought a pair of gwyn Lewis ones as didn't have time or space in head for making/experimenting

They are approx 4mm thick

Clearance is no problem there is 25mm plus

They won't come off because they are magnets but it is wise and sits better in the brain if you at least bond them

Especially if you somehow knock it off when removing like a pleb

Some very good epoxy would be my choice, the stuff gwyn used is brown but could be anything

Experiment if you like, also magnets with hole might be easier than messing about with glue but overriding factor is they are magnets IMO!

 

[discomark10]

I don't know if you do, but if you have a lathe you could turn a slot for it to sit in (like a U shape if you get me).. just a tough.

 

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

Bought a new set of drain plugs last week and bought one of these tonight. 9.4kg pull - bitchin!
