I don't know of any professional electrician (including myself) who uses a naked flame, much too easy to damage wiring or adjacent components Absolutely, Really held back on buying one, and also need a more aggressive soldering iron, possibly gas fired. Just loathe to spend the money on a tool I rarely use, of course till I need it. And I only have to look at all the tools I have never used before....... Any suggestions on a soldering iron, or flame thrower that is both wind proof and works in 4’C That was my battle recently, and of course as Paul Y will attest to, most of my work gets done outside when temperatures drop below 6’C

Of course, but like so many fixes, they are all done outside on the drive. The size of my two heat guns would make it a pain to get inside the front end spaces.

Phil I have a gas soldering iron that works with a catalytic burner, also has a nozzle to convert it to a hot air gun, works great for both functions, good for situations where mains power is awkward or unavailable.

	Got to go back to Friday. When the wheels were being machined. A few pics and a short video to add to the information about the process. Being milled. Click video link. Followed by more machine polishing. So today I gave the new lodger a ride to the station after meeting number 3, also stopping to drop off the new tyres to be fitted and balanced by Kerbed Wheels I was talking to Thomas about the wheels on the Rezin Rockit and before I even left, the first tyre was fitted and balance. Big grin, this guy really loves his job. So I left the wheels and tyres to be fitted while I went to buy some food and drop the lodger at the station as he was headed home to Wales. I also bought some chocolate as a desktop thank you for the guys, beers would not be appropriate When I got back, the wheels were waiting and another chat about mate Bills wheels in Scotland, which he wants them to do when he has settled in his new home. We loaded the wheels and I headed back home, big grin on my face. Unpacked the food and was caught out by evening creeping in on me. So nothing fitted, I also need to order some new chrome wheel nuts. Thanks for checking in and thanks to those of you commenting. Much appreciated.

Thank you very much, I was so pleased and impressed when I saw the result. Thomas also said, and consider that he sees 100’s of wheels, that the colour choice and finish on the wheels really do enhance the spokes in a way single colours or lighter powder coating could not have done.

Have fitted and photographed two on the truck. Some new wheel nuts needed, and centre caps to be figured out as the front hub centres protrude by about 70mm or so. And more importantly, before selling off the Cragars......... A SERIOUS BURNOUT VIDEO NEEDS TO BE MADE. I really wish I had someone with a drone camera to film overhead and then it could be turned into a very short, well edited video with two or three angles being filmed. The tame stunt driver would have to be Paul Y as he knows how to rip the assssss out of assphalt Remember this??? Paul came to fetch a work bench, note all the furniture on the rear. HOOLIGAN SUPREME Bonus. And Pete in his C10
