Default Re: Memories and other stories from Pye etc PMR engineers.

Drilling vehicles.....yes!
I was installing a pmr into a Renault tractor. This was my first as all others were John Deere. Looking for a convenient place for the mic clip, I kept returning to either side of the dash panel, on a curved sloping surface. Having decided it was the best place and was about to drill, I looked forward out of the windscreen and to my horror saw that the area I was about to drill was just a continuation of the external diesel tank but inside the cab!
French vehicles! (BTW, I own a Peugeot 307!)
