Most of the stuff I need for this coming week-end has arrived today. I received a length of M6 threaded stainless rod, packs of 100 M6 nylock and plain nuts and a 100 M6 washers from Toolstation just two days after ordering them. I’ve used Toolstation quite a bit just lately and find them excellent, both on line and face to face. They are cheaper than Screwfix on just about everything and invariably have stock in their depots when Screwfix haven’t and expect you to order and wait for it to be delivered. Screwfix, why do you think people visit your depots rather than order on line…..? I’ve also received the four rose joints I ordered from McGill Motorsports just a day or so after ordering them on Ebay, although they have their own web site. That again is what I call excellent service, and the items are second to none in quality at an excellent price. Here are the two links.
Now all I need is the length of stainless tube and the panel clips I ordered from Ebay at the same time as I ordered the rose joints. I’ll have to wait and see if they arrive tomorrow because without the tube I can’t fabricate the steering arms even though I’ve got all the other items I need and without the studs I can’t really drop the panel to get at the starter wiring. So now you see how the ‘weak links’ can have a knock on and prevent you doing what you want to do 😐
I’ll also have to watch the weather. Last week-end we had record-breaking temperatures and in a few days we’ve gone to bitterly cold northerly winds (this morning) and scatterings of showers. So I’ll also have to see how kind the weather is going to be to me… this is what I was trying to avoid 😕
