I have a 10 ton and a 20 ton jack lying around.... I've decided to make a press, after using one at a garage (huge 50 ton beast).
I shall be passing by the old metal shop later today, and i'll hopefully get to work this afternoon.

Well, it's very kind of you to offer, I have quite a few bushes to fit, but I think the postage is going to be a problem.

A press, any pressure will make life so much more relaxed when maintaining old vehicles, I've a bench-top 10t jobbie that definitely paid for itself over the last 15 years, I've made bigger / longer using plate steel & 24mm stud-iron as the 'frame' and 30t tangye jacks for the persuasion .

Bodgeit & Scarper or Scrapyard Engineering rule OK

Tomorrow i'll be popping round a friend's house to kindly steal his arc welder for a little while... Proper beast of a machine that is... about 250amp arc welder, should easily weld this up. For the mo, it's just tacked in to place.

But if they are properly welded in.....






Also, as an apprentice, was taught a few phrases.....


An inch of good weld will lift a ton - the operative word being 'GOOD'

And...

"I'll Put 3 runs on it, hopefully 1 will hold"
