Nuts and Bolts

Hi All,

One of the jobs that has been due for a long time is sorting out all my nuts and bolts. I have had a plastic sorting boxes for years but they have always laid on a shelf and not been as organised as I wanted. So a few sheets of plywood and a but of time with table saw and a router and sorted !.


So what is in them all.


Top shelf is for small assortment boxes :-
-          Circlips, Split pins, Rivet Nuts, ‘O’Rings, clevis pins, roll pins and springs.

Then in the boxes on the regular shelves one for each :-
-          Small screws and self tapping screws.
-          Large screws and raw plugs
-          Metric nuts and bolts M10 and bigger
-          Metric nuts and bolts M8 and smaller
-          Washers.
-          Imperial nuts and bolts.
-          Electrical bits, fuses, relays and heat shrink.
-          Electrical crimp terminals.
-          Hose clamps and air fittings.
-          Abrasive paper (in A4 folder).
-          Pop rivets and staples.
-          Plastic body clips.
-          Batteries.





These are the parts boxes I use. They are a bit flimsy but gluing in the orange removable dividers solved that problem.

The shelves are just screwed and glued into dado grooves I routed into the sides.

Castors to keep it mobile to take to the track.

An a lock, not that I don;t trust you but ......

Cheers,
Richard B.

SVDP RACING, WINNER DUBAI 24 HOURS 2013, D1

Hi All,
 
As well the MGB I also help with the SVDP Racing team 120D.
 
We have just managed a stunning result. Winner of the Dubai 24 hours 2013, D1 class (37th overall out of a starting grid of 80).
 
Lots of hard work but a stunning result.
 
 
 
The drivers and car all ready before the off.
 
We had to do lots of work including an engine change during qualifying,  1 hour 45 minutes between pit in to pit out ! and  of course my tools came with me.
 
More photos etc will be avialible here :-

Look waht Santa brought

Hi All,

I've wanted a set of these since I saw them a couple of years ago but they were just to heavy to ship out to Dubai. . . . . . . . . Until now.

They are a set of hydraulic car ramps.

Six inches colapsed.

A few pumps and 15 inches height so lots of clearance.


I will post more details once I have a chance to use them a few times.

They are from CJ Auto in the UK, this is their site here.


Many thanks to Spencer at SVDP Racing for letting me steal some of the space in his container.

Cheers,
Richard B.



Next . . . . . . Another got at the Autodrome I think :-)
