Bought my son one of the 2 ton generic units last year. Does the job fine & needed capacity at full extension.
Went for the higher capacity as it's used for V8 lifting & about to heave around a V12 jag motor.
Only thing to bear in mind is the rating & quality of the bolts & pins in shear when it arrives (seriously, can you see any ratings?)- ultra-cheap quality mostly... 1st thing we did was head down to local industrial fastenings company & replace any bolts which were in shear not compression load. Probably overkill, but these are heavy loads.

My son's looking for a Jaguar / Daimler V12 MOT failure for a seriously different project. Body & interior condition not important, but engine/box/IRS need to be sound. Sadly, seen too many already where "the fuel line's split / the gas tank's disconnected... so you can't hear it run." Let me know what you've got / price etc. & we'll get back to you asap. Based near Hereford but will travel for the right one. Cheers, Euan

If anyone's wondering about this one, J1MMY's a super bloke to deal with; an absolute gentleman &, I'm certain the truck will be exactly as he describes it (& probably better)!

Would like the 'Locost' Cortina & Transit ball joints please, if they're still available (& if you've found the top ones...) - over on other side of the country so would have to be posted if possible. Can you PM me with cost / info for payment? Thanks.

It's a paraffin weed burner, they're called a Sheen X300 - I sold mine earlier this year in GWO for £50, now regretting selling it as the garden's full of weeds! They're pretty lethal if you don't warm them up enough before you open the paraffin tap! Ha ha I cant wait to try it now!! That video was exactly what I needed Service kit for one of these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHEEN-FLAMEGUN-FLAME-GUN-FULL-SERVICE-PACK-/390248376869?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368- TBH, they're dead simple to overhaul. Always regret getting rid of mine; nothing else remotely compares to the fun!

Grenade,
Just a thought, but would it not be possible to utilise some / much of the Durango bulkhead as well as the cab floor area in build #3. Was wondering if it could save you some strip down time as well as some issues figuring mountings for pedals, column etc?
Absolutely lapping this one up though!
And the next installment is... on it's way soon (I hope)!

Memories rushing back... mine had the Mosselmann turbo kit & was seriously quick! Had to sell it after I'd injured my back & struggled to get in & out - miss it big time! GLWS

Try box profile galvanised sheets with this stuff underneath - great insulation & really quiet in the rain. They also deliver UK wide! www.secondsandco.co.uk/#!product-page/c1n8h/c3f322c1-51b7-16f8-5cf9-be69011fbf94 They cheap but aren't that cheap considering you're buying a pallet load and paying VAT and delivery on top and they are seconds.. I'm sure you can get them cheaper, but price is per board & not necessary to buy pallet load. Seconds quality for my garage and barn meant a few minor corner dinks so not bad at all with saving over 1st grade. Up to you what you do, just giving an option from experience.
