Meeting at Micks burgers on the hill to cruise down to the show at 8.45am

Hydraulic pipe tool arrived today.

Coming together well. Not added all the bolts but will do once the info pages added. Looking nice, folds up well.

I was sure you hadn't done the track rod ends on Duster to long ago, maybe it was the van. Looks like you done track rod ends on the Audi in April last year:- https://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-vehicle-today.12964/page-139#post-130120 Van or duster in Jan...

Welcome to Solent Renegades Car Club, @sallysylviee.

Designed a hook to hook under the bonnet. Clips in, squeeze to release. There was already a 10mm hole in the bonnet for it to clip in to. Gave it a good tug and seems support more weight than I need. I also have a back up plan if it becomes loose over time, I made the center able to take a...

Reamer has arrived
