It's so I can mount an ISI 4x bike rack to camper trailer and still access the kids on camper front box. I take ISI hitch receiver means one of the less crazy adults can run a car shuttle up the hill all day! Kids never like riding up hills!


Ok. Now I get it. The top bit is similar to one of these.

Installed hydraulic steering in the boat. The old mechanical steering had seized so I thought I would give myself an early Xmas present.

Now I've just got to get her out on the water.  I moved to Brisbane from Townsville a few months ago and haven't had a chance to get out yet.

Hydraulic steering is awesome, no torque steer anymore was the winner for me!

Used a bit of "eucalyptus hard as" to make a bashing post for the shed. It's about 750mm high 350mm wide and weigh's about as much as me - well it feels like it

Made up a new tow hitch for the cruiser, started with two old tow hooks and a piece of box section. Ground the hooks a bit to make them both fit in the box, drilled and bolted them in with hi tensile bolts, then had my fitter son take it to work and fill & weld the whole thing up !
Now we can slip a snatch strap over it and there's no need for a D shackle  ;D  :cup: .

My cruiser got a bit of a tart up. New flares and resprayed the guards, bonnet, wiper cowl and front valance. All bolted back up after a big does of Lanolin. Just have to find the time to have it off the road to get the rest done.
Cheers, Mike.

Its a spray on polymer coating. Tape is put down to create the lines.

There I was thinking you're a very clever dude, cutting pavers so accurately and artistically laying them out! Turns out you are even smarter than that by using a method that is sure to be geometrically correct, with, I assume, a lot less effort required 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

made another spreader pole lightbar for the annex...






these spreader bars have C clips at each end, and instead of a nut to tighten, then have a 'lever' lock... and being aluminium, they are very light.

just solder on some tails at each end, stick the led strip to the pole and cover with clear heatshrink...

kill two birds with one stone, combining the spreader and the light...  just run with anderson powerpoles at each end to use them together...

about a metre of usable light on each one... should light up the annex nicely...  :D
