Problem with a lot of couplings is that they are intended for quite low rpm, as such they are not balanced. In your application they may well run out of balance and shake it to bits! I would mount everything properly with no coupler initially. If that doesn't work out, or to get it more compact...

I have a few sets of the plastic jaw covers with magnets. As you say the horizontal and vertical V grooves are very useful for holding bars. They also come in various different grades of plastic, from soft rubbery ones to very hard. Really useful. Also have home made slip on aluminium covers...

Vaseline was always the stuff recommended for battery terminals.

"I will flagellate myself repeatedly" Good

I find it rather depressing that many use the argument that they are not as bad as the last lot. Not a very high bar. And is that really all we should aspire to? It is almost as though we have become so used to it that we are prepared to accept s**t politicians, just so long as they are a bit...

I very much doubt Taylor Swift had any input whatsoever. Nor can I imagine what Universal Entertainment would stand to gain. The Premier League and FA are another matter. At a time when the government are in the process of considering what regulatory measures should be imposed on football...

Both I feel entirely free to criticise someone who makes various claims about themselves which I think are very dubious. And note that you have now added some rather negative observations concerning the role of the monarchy. That would be the monarch to whom, as allegedly a member of the armed...

Good grief I thought Jacob could drone on, although even he has taken you to task over the length and meandering nature of your posts. You have repeated yourself so often I would have thought you could have come up with a condensed version by now. Haven't you got some "top secret" stuff that...

Indeed, both got into power on the basis of re inventing the party in a Tory Lite version.

Interesting that you ask who paid for Starmer's tickets. Was this a rhetorical question? It would be odd to have concluded that these gifts were all above board without having looked into who paid for them. As I understand it the Taylor Swift tickets, and numerous football freebies were all...

Old belts are a good source.

I think it's the nut that holds the blade in place, so not sure that would be wise Mr Mainwaring :-)

I was thinking along the lines of obtaining a length of suitable threaded bar and matching nut, available from the people mentioned previously. You could then let the threaded bar into the end of the spindle in place of the existing one. If Deema made the shaft then he will be well placed to...

One of the more stupid policies during austerity was the dismissal of so many tax enforcement officers. Many recovered considerably more than their own salaries, so as a cost saving measure pretty daft. The whole thing needs a massive overhaul and simplification. That might hopefully leave less...

If you find a local saddler, who actually makes stuff, they will often have scraps which can be had for very little. Also makes really good bed wipers for lathes etc.

Abssac or Fastenright do square and acme threaded stuff, might be worth a call. Or could you maybe replace the threaded section with something that is readily available. Depends what the whole shaft looks like and how keen you are to preserve it's originality.

Careful Robin. Next thing he'll be trying to sell you a bit of burnt rope from a certain embassy balcony :-)

Come on Robin, some stereotyping on display here. I am assuming you don't particularly care for the likes of Braverman describing those on the left as sandal wearing, tofu eating wokerati? So why stoop to similar nonsense yourself.

With you there. I did much the same and the sockets are never where you want them. Much better to get stuff in then run them where they need to be.

Only exception I know of is on the old SAAB 99 and 900 where the gearbox sat under the engine. You could change the annular slave cylinder fairly easily, and the clutch itself come to that. I remember when Vauxhall had the clutch designed so it could be removed without taking out the gearbox...
