    DIY Aluminium Welding

    Yeh I bought 10 rods years ago from the c/camping show, I got a hole in the commodores radiator in the cell. So I just heated the hole then added fill that was it. Worked a treat.

    I liked it to fix a cracked timing cover on my old beast.

    I wouldnt use it on anything structural though.

    Cheers Boys

    I am pretty happy so far. Still more to go.

    I just have to flip it over now, I am just revamping the trailer at the moment.

    I fitted new leaf springs,rollers and customized the back end up with new lighting and number plate mounts, instead of taking that dreaded light bar off :1badmood:

    And having a ball doin it

    Hi Warnie My Half cab is i thought around 5-700kgs nether to less you have a 1tonne chain block i would suggest to use some sought of spreader bar to attach sling eg (waterpipe or thick steel RHS or something like that) to keep it level.

    I like your initiative.thumbup.gif

    My Repairs And Modifications

    Hi Yarraone

    I am thinking about fitting ski rope to the winch instead (definetly not cable ever again, caused it rusted and snapped). but if you prefer straps are better. not sure yet of price difference cause i havn`t finished the boat, so the trailers later. As for the fuel i prefer all the weight down the back.

    Harbour Blackie Session

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hooked up again with Sreve (slam354) for another attack on the harbour blackfish. Found a spot protected from the cool westerly and kicked off around 7.00 am. Bit of burley and Steve's on nearly straight away. A couple each in the bag then I'm onto what feels like a nice fish. Always use two leaders and lo and behold I've got a double which Steve managed to net nicely. Let me state at this point that it takes a lot of skill and finesse to not only hook two at once but to sussessfully land both. Nothing at all to do with luck. Shortly after, Steve hooks and lands a double. WHAT A FLUKE!!!!! Be buggered if he doesn't do the same shortly afterwards. Honestly can't believe some peoples luck but then again I suppose I should give him some credit. Fish were definetely travellers and not really "on" at any stage. We'd get nothing for 1/2 hour then a couple in a row. We were probably lucky that we hooked nearly every down that we had. By about 11.00 we had 17 in the bags but had gone very quite. Decided to move to the Pyrmont area for a couple of more hours for a grand total of one more fish. Still a good enjoyable day but starting to really believe the theory that the full moon makes fishing harder.

    Cheers,

    Rick

    Fiberglassing My Halfcab

    Hi STUBALL i have done a few repairs recently my self just looking at the photo it looks as if the holes go up well into the wood if this is the case you may have a bit of a rot problem if this is the case you would need to fill the timber with a filler and the run at least 6 layers of glass over the top starting with just covering the broken out area and increase each layer as you go so as to keep the shape and move out about 50mm either side onto the hull. Then i would cut the floor out through the middle the length of the problem area at least and put some timber runners down either side of the rotted peice of timber and thow a couple of layers of glass over it that will re strengthen the timber that has a problem hope this helps :beersmile:

    Thanks Warnie Where the holes are i cannot put a screwdriver through the spine timber.It seems ok i dont know how. But thanks thats a good idea i might even be able to make a under floor storage space the same time wher one of the holes are.

    Kind Regards

    I`m going to try and revamp my half cabin Mustang. I bought it cheap and thought i`ve got a big task on my hands. I pulled everything off it, called a few boys around pulled it off the trailer turned it upside down and slipped it into the garage on some old tyres. Grinded the patch work off that the previous owner done and seen 3 big holes, then grinded the gelcoat back to give me a starting point to fill the holes then fiberglass the centre to strengthen then gelcoat over the top.Thats my plan.I have some modefiying to do inside when i get it right way up as well.Ill send updated pictures as i get through this ( i think job is the right word) or NIGHTMARE.
