Where abouts is this matty

Parkers Motor Factors of Leicester are good for odd hoses especially their Syston branch.

For pork pies we liked the butchers in Nantwich and Vemuelens deli in Ellesmere. Both were very good. The fishmongers in Nantwich was also very good. For cheese there is nowhere better than the Cheese Shop in Flying Horse Walk in the centre of Nottingham

It had to be moved to a new mooring.

Yet another programme to never look at!!

I was surprised a couple of weeks ago as the VMs there were almost empty, as was the one by the car park. Chocker as usual when I came back.

Not sure it's wise for the former chandlery owners to be so up front in public about the reasons for closure, especially as they make allegations against a named business. If that is their attitude I can understand why the marina management didn't want to discuss them staying on!

Read what I wrote!! Under the 95 Act CCers have to move every 14 days. Under that same Act HMers can moor anywhere they like for as long as they like. However under CRT's Ts and Cs, which may or may not be legally enforceable depending on who you listen to, HMers are also subject to maximum 14 day stays, or such shorter periods as indicated on signs at visitor moorings and the like. However the key difference is that the HMer's clock resets every time they return to their home mooring. So a HMer can leave their home mooring every weekend and tie up at the same spot for a couple of nights before returning to the HM. A CCer has to visit a number (undefined) of other 'places' (also undefined) before returning to the initial location.

It is part of the fuel lift pump and is pivoted below the wide part of the pump body. It may be pivoted on just one side of the lever may be forked so both sides are fitted to the lower body section as per my photo. Other images showed a lever just on one side of the pump, but still within the area covered by the wide part, whichever it will tend to be hidden by the pump itself.

I already have and they are involved but I need to find some local people.

These are a better size for a hatch -- 8 self-adhesive 100mm x 25mm PTFE sliders for a tenner... https://www.amazon.co.uk/METALLIXITY-Furniture-Rectangle-Self-adhesive-Protector/dp/B0BB6X66KZ/

Off on a tangent slightly but I wonder if he was related to the Summers of Queens Ferry who owned Summers steel works which as I understand it they sold to the then new British Steel

Why not tap into some of the HVO trials depicted on the IWA website. I will save you re-inventing the wheel!

Sikaflex make a cleaner and catalyst, Sika Activator 205, which surprisingly works very well. There is a different activator/cleaner depending on which Sikaflex you are using and the structure to be bonded.

Whether it is an energise to stop or energise to run solenoid, it must be given a feed at the appropriate time and in all typical installations that would come from somewhere on the control panel, be it a push button for energise to stop, or the ignition switch for both cases, but with different switching and terminations depending upon which it is. If there is no stop button, then the solenoid feed is likely to be from the ignition switch. To see which it is, you need both the engine and the panel wiring diagram(s), but my guess is that it is an energise to run.

Reminds me of the Greenline 33 with the lines. Love those boats. Wish we had bought one when they were first launched in the UK. They were £100k at the time for the hybrid version. Would be worth a damn sight more now!

On this day 2018 Captain Sydney became acquainted with Naughty-Cal

Btw, FWIW, whatever you decide to do with your website, for those that know about the Way Back Machine, it turns out they have actually been archiving your website since 2005. So the information on your site will be available there too. You can even go back through the years and see how your site changed. The link is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20231204062155/http://tb-training.co.uk/index.htm Btw, if you don't want me highlighting this here, let me know and I'll delete my post right away. But I only included it as your website is already noted on your profile and seems well known here already.

Disappearance of remanent magnetic field is common, over time. The alternator is designed to self excite, and will do so if used fairly regularly, because that refreshes the rotor magnetism. Leave it for a few months, particularly if it is vibrated, and some or all of the remanant magnetism will have gone. The answer then is to disconnect the regulator and flash a magnetic field into the rotor. Get the connections the right way round! Reassemble and it should ackle as intended. N

A nice job, and you have chosen an almost identical colour scheme the one we chose for Helvetia:-

Had my last two boat safety inspections done there

Ah! Didn't know about that one. Sorry for misleading @Nightwatch.
