[Obanboy666]

[wildebus]

Fitted a new Split-Charge solution to Clarence ready for the VW Busfest and Southern Roadtrip

The CTEK D250SA + Smartpass is £600 for a 20A Smart Charger + 100A Relay which is a bit pricey so I went for my Homebrew "HR30/120" system instead ....
View attachment 49282
30A Smart B2B Charger + 120A Victron Cyrix-CT Battery Combiner with auto-switching based on Battery State of Charge

Did it work? was it worth it? http://www.motorhomebuilder.com/threads/split-chargers-b2b-relays-which-one-or-both.66709/

Never seen one of those before,any chance of buying one.

If you’re on about the bending tool you need the machine to drive it. You’re welcome to use the machine if you’re in our area.

 

[SquirrellCook]

Should have used a 2 pack zinc rich epoxy,there is no longer any lead in paint,its a con,sorry to say

Some do work, but it’s normally too late when you find it doesn’t.

 

[Hotrats13]

Rearranged the boot and loaded my wheelchair and hand cycle,ready to dissapear.

 

[Vanterrier]

Tried to repair the broken bracket on the dashboard document holder... the AA atlas for France is so heavy it bust it. Superglued the plastic bit ok and was pleased with that but then dropped the wee hinge rod which spun around and disappeared between the dash and the screen its gone forever and I will need to wait until I get back home to try again. Rods/pins still in place here.

Checked battery voltage and fired generator up to check all ok. It started after a couple of pulls which is the norm for a Honda.

You're thinking of Red LEAD paint Trev. the man is using Red OXIDE paint, which you
can get even in Halfords, a benign paint as far as paints go regarding H&S.

Found this “
Red oxide, also called red lead, reacts with iron and iron oxides to form insoluble compounds called plumbates, in which lead is part of the anion, (PbO?)?². For instance, ferrous plumbate has the formula Fe(PbO?), in which the cation is Fe?².
Halfords must have a red oxide using different materials.

 

[Forresbroons]

Fitted our new silver screens.

A lot of people do refer to Red Oxide as Red Lead because it was the default safe substitute.
Not just Halfords, Rustoleum, Screwfix, Hammerite, all produce Red Oxide and they all
state their paint as lead free. Somehow I can't imagine they would take the risk of
telling porkies on this issue, could you? I hope not, at least since 1992 anyway!
