Don't do what I did over the Xmas break; Went out to play with the Rover P2 '10 on the 27th December, basically welding a tubular structure inside what is left of the tinwork to jig and jack the whole lot straight. Reach round for the gas bottle tap to turn it on......."Who's left the gas turned-on?", I ask my mate........ Full-sized bottle of Argoshield / Cougar5 (or whatever Air Products calls their gas for MIG) that I bought fresh in before Xmas for this project (well, for the business...  ) had disappeared into thin air due to a dodgy seal on the bottle tap itself between the 24th and the 27th. And the next delivery of gas to Skye was the 6th Jan.......the air was blue, but inert. At least I managed to get along with a small'ish hobby gas bottle from our local industrial suppliers. Still haven't seen the replacement big bottle that I ordered for the New Year....  Yep I've done that once with luckily just half a hobby bottle |

That's a smart bit of welding - do you want to have a practice on a P2 ?  |

Going to sell them ? eBay ? You think we would get a Forum discount. Don't remember this one.  Mind you it is nearly 30 years ago. |

Nice work ! Up until last year i was making hanging basket brackets for concrete fence posts & flogging them on ebay...until some git complained to ebay that there was a patent on part of the design (which i wasn't aware of because i didn't copy the design from anywhere ) Ebay removed my listings & told me not to try to list them again, or they may close my account  |
