the all aussie dribble thread!

[derwoodii]

I suggest you do good research on those boxes. Bought 2 alloy checker plate toolboxes a while ago - decided on Australian made as they had to be better and were twice the price of the china boxes. One is okay but the other one leaks like a... well a tea bag. Unfortunately some Australian products are now also made cheap and nasty to compete with others. If you can find one with a decent wall thickness it should do the job even if its made by Hou Long

all good timing i'm looking to upgrade my ammo reload box as its a bit lite on in tuff security so been eyeing off Rhino tool box at bunnings with the daughter staff discount i reckon be worthy as don't want mr plod to think i'm not complying,,,,, tho i dont know truly what a box for powder projectiles and primers should be but know it needs to be tad better than what i got

just remember, its not the fall that kills ya

Its never been cut before. It was a bottom of a lake three hundred years ago. Then a glacier let loose. The beatles killed 40% so thats what Im cutting. The nice thing is that its only 400 metres away from my place so there is nil to no overhead.
Does Australia still have alot of wood?

most of the country is desert inhabited by feral camels & even more feral bogans, a little bit of timber along the east & the south / south west, protected furiously by feral greenies.
i take it you didn't get to vladivostok for a laughfest.

I couldn't make out the crack mate, but f its on the oil tank perhaps sand it back to bare metal and use some Devcon liberaly over the crack and let it dry for a week. If the tank is plastic, use something good for that.
Loctite has a good substitute for Devcon, I use it for my ''little fiddly bits on modded cylinders'', I just can't think of the number.
I did notice the brake handle broken off.

Underpowered and the small wheel size isn't great.
It does the job, that'd be top whack for a second hand one for me.

Sweet, I found a "hot rod kit" for my MS180! Apparently you can run longer bars and puts less strain on your engine - win win. Will be a monster saw after its fitted! Can't wait to get it, seems I may have found a much cheaper alternative to ported saws.

yeah ,looking at the front of the saw, the orange part that goes to the handle, its been pushed into the tank, but not all the way but enough for fuel to pee out if the saw is laid over
could it be plastic welded

 

[Jimbo209]

Ohh no..... piltz kits are known on this site

Lol... but he sounds like a professional, he must know what he's on about. Like running a 28" bar on my 261, must be legit?

It must be, he has sold 100's of kits. Must be really special chain or something...

Also Peter try getting your hands on some JB Weld. Amazing stuff, I have glued many a chainsaw back together with it. Also resistant to oil, fuel etc.

Thanks , the piece of plastic has pushed into the tank or about half of it, what should i use to clean the plastic before i put JB on there, and should i put it on both sides
