I don’t reckon you need the tab you have cut off Brett. I’m sure where you have tacked it will be plenty strong.

Brett,

You won't need the tab at the front of the outer sill for strength, but the important dimension is the total thickness where the subframe bolt goes through. If the bolt head doesn't pull down onto the metalwork when you've installed the subframe, you'll need a flat washer(s).

Brett,
I now wonder how you manage to get so much done? You must spend all your time in committee meetings answering to the committee chair (note no ref to chairman) and presenting reports.

Now shed comfort. This is on my to do list...... one day. My plan is to retro fit foil back insulation (R 2.5) to the roof purlins. I will end up with an air gap of around 75 mm between underside of iron roof and insulation. This should make a big difference to my shed for both summer & winter. Think the hardest part will clearing out the crap and then putting it all back.

Regards
Stephen

Thanks Rob,.
The bolt tightens as the bolt lip after the threaded section hits the mounting block, not by the head moving against the outer pillar sheet metal. Might help to keep it tighter with additional friction against the head, but it does not secure the subframe arm by compressing the pillar as it tightens.

Hi Stephen, like all of us I think, I have days where lots gets done and other days, like today, where I managed to put an aluminium number plate surround and a resurfaced front brake drum on Wilma and that was pretty much it!

Committee meetings tend to be succinct and unexpected.

I enjoy bashing up the new rust patches so I'm hoping to get a bit more done tomorrow. Being retired makes a world of difference to time availability too. If I'm not working on the cars I'm staring into space dreaming

You lucky, lucky bastard - wish i had the time a retired person does , I will be working up until lunchtime on the day of my funereal I am guessing where you are doesn't get too humid ? an evaporative cooler uses bugger all power , I have 3 on my shed and its as cool as a cucumber in summer with zero insulation
send me a pic of your switchboard in the house and the shed and I will see what you have and how many spare electrons you have floating around

[FireKraka]

I followed Blacky's lead after being in his shed one day, he had a couple of these laying around in the yard (amongst other stuff ) drop the inside of mine by about 10 deg

That's a big one!
Took Blacky's advice and bought a more modest version this morning off face book market place. Not good for painting but should help for everything else.

Thanks for the offer Blacky, I have 20 amps of electrons, but have taken your advice and gone for low power evap option.

That's the same size as the ones Blacky has on his shed Brett tells you how big his shed is ha ha

[Brett027]

Yes, mine is not so vast. There are an increasing number of humid summer days now, but should still be a big improvement. I couldn't see how an aircon the size the power supply could support would keep pace with the gaps and the lack of insulation.

Hey Neil, I assume that you fit the bigger transmission hump first and then fit the replacement floor pans on top of the tunnel lip?

[Harv]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has used the "footings by CHEP" option

Cheers,
Harv

[FireKraka]

Not sure if your taking the piss there Brett but if it is the question I think you are asking then no fit the floors and then the larger tunnel fits over the top mate the lip on the tunnel sits on the floors at least that is how I did it.
