Well just to confuse things even more we in the UK call them 'R' clips. Logical when you look at them.

Got to agree there.

For what it is worth I agree with chevy302dz on this one. I bought a cheap digital caliper from Ebay (see link). I didn’t want to use my decent kit on the floor so when I saw this I thought I would give it a try. The price was actually a penny buy-it-now when I purchased, and it was delivered...

Baby oil - It's what S/S oven manufacturers recommend. Also we (the company I jokingly work for) used to make a raw aluminium (English spelling) hospital hoist, the only way to get rid of finger prints after assembly was to use baby oil. This machine was called a Lisa - Sick guys used to get a...

Baby oil - Pure and simple

I agree Dave - Unless you pay the Snap On man a small fortune - Or buy a new set that includes the racks. Let me know If they do ship Internationally.

Gedore used to be a popular make here in the UK. My parents bought me a small socket set when I was about 10 years old (I must have been a terrible child to buy things for – While other kids wanted the latest toys all I wanted was more tools). The sockets have lasted over 30 years (the ratchet...

ha ha ha - This is more like it. I have no prejudice again any sort of ‘biker’ – You can ride a scooter, moped, cruiser sportbike – Whatever you’re still a biker in my eyes – But I just don’t get the whole Harley lifestyle thing. I went to a world HOG rally when they had it 30 miles or so up the...

Steve – I would love to bow to your superior knowledge on the ‘A’ series, but I won’t lol. I would love to be proved wrong but I have no knowledge of the ‘A’ series ever going out as far as 1622cc in standard form – Mind you I am a blinkered, boring old fart (I won’t start quoting cylinder head...

Don't worry I won't take offence. I totally agree – I think we are quite an arrogant nation and believed we could do no wrong – We lacked innovation. Our idea of a new model motorcycle was to put any old engine in a featherbed frame, use a tank from one model and mudguards from another –...

Oh that hurts. We still have a few car manufacturers - Morgan (if you ever get chance to look at their 'factory' - There's a step back in time.) TVR, Lotus (OK now owned by Ford I believe) to name but a few (OK I'm stuggling to name more but I'm sure there is). At least we still have one...

Ah yes – Mental note, engage brain and get a full nights sleep before trying to talk about money and exchange rates. Only trouble with sourcing cars in the States you sit on the wrong side of the car to drive – I’m sure there will be a European directive to make us change – Buses and lorries...

Newbie here from the UK – Love the forum, have joined others in the States also (Welding and Metal Bashing). Get ready for some British humour and spelling. You guys make me sick with your flash garages and your large tool boxes. Freud would have a field day with you boys. LOL Do you actually...
