Guess you're waiting for a new posting..

I must admit....I struggle some days to add content to the blog...if I use my own camera, I can download and publish in about 10 to 15 minutes....but if I have to download pics from other sites...save..reprint...sometimes it takes me hours...so....bear with me...I will get to the blog eventually.....
..Thought I would click some pics from home...here is my new Eastwood brake flare device...

very easy to use..just select the size die for the tubing..........

swing-over clamp locks it in place...flat stop sets the length...

Use operation1 for the first 45 degree flare, and operation 2 for the 2nd double flare...

just have to pull the handle to the stop each time..easy-peasy..

and...hello....double flare done in no time!...well worth the $250+ US if you like doing jobs like this at home......(disregard the safety boots in this shot!!)

a few bends, a few line clamps, and the lines will be done soon..

bought a mess of 90 degree 2 1/4" bends and started hacking/tacking/welding as best I can do for a busted ass retiree...looks like it will work..made a rather overkill rear tailpipe mount from some old insulators I had...and I will change out that dummy tailshaft I made from a bit of water pipe......

drilling for the linre clamps is somewhat easier with my $80 ebay USA purchase of a new 90 degree drill..also clicks around to about 120/150/180 degrees..very handy.....but remember..it is 110volt US...so needed something to charge it...

another easy job...googled 110v to 240v adapters, and found this from a company in Sth Aust called "Wallcan"..think it was $30 from memory, plus freight....
