R Tinker Welding Engineer.
Baytree lane, Middleton, Manchester M242EL
01827 311317
From the Inland Boat Owners Book, late 90s I'd guess. A fully fitted 45' was 36k, the next entry was SM Hudson at 38k!
Nooo! it's 0161-643 3652! The 01827 311317 number is in Tamworth & belongs Norton Canes + old SM Hudson yard

I think they are compression fittings or tap connectors that connect to the plastic pipe so I doubt they will go any further.

Surely tha chrome nut(s) screws down til the trim touches the wall?

Put https://threebzboats.wixsite.com/threebzboats in Polesworth on your list. John Bird used to work for Steve Hudson as the 'Bows' man!
No connection except he overplated my own boat and I would have had him build me a new boat before ill health stopped us boating ☹️

You are proposing to spend a lot of money. You have considered your licence, insurance, mooring and BSC costs haven't you?

Anybody else trying to read the 'something' OWL on the other bit?
Altered brightness & contrast. Definitely something Red Owl. Trying to fit in something like 'Bright' but not enough letters.?

Hello
Does anyone know of any decent moorings within 30 miles of Birmingham? Ideally with on-site storage or near self storage places?
Thanks for helping.
If you are non-residential, then Tamworth Cruising Club could accomodate you/your boat. At the rear of the site is a container storage facility!!

No, not at all! .....Reminder to (newbie) members to acknowledge sentiment of sign, wave, smile or (for the ignoramus, as I do, show my back!)

She has a tiny leak from the stbd diesel tank (built into the swim) into the cabin bilge 'under' the overplating. Caused by removing a repair patch covering porous steel, before the overplate, without first dealing with the weep present. I was going to fit plastic tanks, but easier I think to cut/weld repair. This plus OHs failing health which gave me little opportunity to get work done. Hoping this year will see this job done so refit can restart. Once watertight, new mahogany handrails, paint and BSCd etc is likely to see her on brokerage early-mid 2019 ..8^(

It's an old sign that has sadly become meaningless. You wouldn't believe the amount of boats (eyes forrard and caps on backwards) that speed through that bridge'ole only to encounter Glascote locks when rounding the bend. I WILL bring it up with Committee and add a reminder to the next newsletter. There's no excuse, hopefully things will change. Thanks for the heads-up.

Correction to email address, now:-tamworthcruisingclub@gmail.com.
Apologies if anyone has tried the old address (accessing it was a faff) so we elected to change it so that the secretary (whoever that would be at the time) could get access from anywhere!!
MOORING RATES VERY COMPETETIVE

Don't use pressure is the key let the tool do the work, if you use too pressure you loose the tips. It's also only to be used on flat surfaces, so no getting in corners, etc.
I've seen a scabbler work on the top paint, how well does it work on tar based paint? I thought it would clog up.
I used a WhirlAway, an american attachment for an angle grinder, but still a scabbler. It removed the thick, hardened bitumen, but just skated over the surface of a single layer. (possibly as a needle gun chips away at thickened old paint or rust, but ineffective on thin layers) - At no time did it clog, but it didn't like the odd spots of weld or splatter that it found!
-
I used a scabbler, which removed the thickest, hardened coating, but not everything. The resulting finish was a lot less 'moonscape'
You WILL need ear defenders, gloves and eye protection!

You could do worse than look at Charity Dock between Nuneaton and Bedworth. a gold mine of interesting stuff.
They've already been to Charity Dock - amongst other items, they bought a Morris Minor 1000 from them!

Quinton Hazell FRA120
from the application list it appears to be prominently used on Ford Sierras/Granadas.
Question remains - Is it the alternator that has died, or the Lucas regulator?

Anyone locally know of a decent engineering supply company the might have heavy duty allen key type grub screws in stock.
The alternator drive wheel decided to run free from the shaft this evening when on tick over for 1/2 an hour after we hit a shopping trolley or other large nasty solid item under a bridge near Tamworth west.

Still not sure it's a B'ham.
IMHO def. Buckingham 20 - Take a look at pic 2 for the windows and pic 4 for the screen HERE
-
I'd say it is a Buckingham with (possibly) some modification to the window layout.

Welcome to the Forum.
Angle grinder, don't forget the gloves and safety specs!
remove the shank when the cover is off. Use new brass screws on refitting.

I have seen this displayed at the top right of the page, on a number of occasions recently, when opening a thread, but the thread is not actually locked.
Maybe our technical bods can throw some light on this..........I can't reproduce it now tho'
