A shed is a bit of a balance. No desire to move, so had to make it fit the block. Still like the idea of some backyard, so only went 1.5 cars wide. I need to get more serious about the amount of stuff I have that I know I will never use. Some time in the new year I need to get rid of a bunch of FB ...

Manic few days.

Shed plumbing/drainage done, concrete still wet and had to board it over to get the FED in. Hoist guys hiab broke down, they were a day late and had to work on top of the plumbers… including the 8” moat they dug.

The VL tow car crapped out yesterday for reasons unknown. Still haven ...

Manic few days.

Snout assembly, tensioner and belt assembly complete.


The epoxy floor in the new shed finishes curing Sunday. Hoist goes in Monday, and FED comes home from Kennards.

What does worry me though is the heavy steel rotor trying to tear the manifold off the engine. I need to fit some form of brace under the casing, back down to the chassis to provide vertical support. In true bogan style, the supercharger is currently supported on two Sampson rims and a block of ...

New shed is nearly built, and i need to get a bit more brutal about throwing stuff out that I will not use. These are free to good home - pick them up in Greystanes (western Sydney) or I’ll post and you pay the postage.

The grey board is the “floor” for the cargo area in a wagon. Board is in good ...

The break-away mounting makes good design sense. I had to have one in the wagon, at the engineers request.

Having said that, they are not mandatory. Some engineers ask for them, others do not. Some engineers for example are comfortable that two unis are sufficient.

If you want a break-away ...

Is there room in there for a second pillow block to take any side load off the Norman driveshaft ??



The ball bearing block should take up a lot of the side load, though you are right, it will turn the shaft into a lever. The Norman bearings will take the remaining load ...
