Re: Specialist bolts
Ha, if only it wasn't true! I like the one for re-drilled holes that still don't match

Re: Specialist bolts
That's really handy! Must find a space for it on the workshop wall

Re: Specialist bolts
Hi Sean
My last job before I retired was for a firm that manufactured electrical control panels, mainly for the water industry. They fabricate their own metalwork as well as build the electrical assemblies. I will send them a copy, I am sure they will find it very funny too. |

Re: Specialist bolts
Yep!
I think I could have used just about every one of those in my time and it pains me to say that a couple of them would have been useful recently John G4IJD

Re: Specialist bolts
Sean, that chart isn't allowed to be displayed without its two companion posters:
One of them is a set of drawings of different military tanks… one as designed by the armaments group, one by the engines group, one by the suspension group etc etc, the other is the classic "You want it WHEN?" poster. David
