If any builder could use it I will be happy to send it for the price of the postage. May need freeing off a bit as it hasn't been used for a while. http://www.michaelengineering.com/Pumps/Manual/StickyStuffDispenser/ Richard Iddon.

Something to ponder.

I'm intending to trim the flange for the firewall joint back to about 40mm, but thought I'd check to see if anyone thought that is a bad idea. There doesn't seem to be any explicit advice about trimming that area in the manual, but fig 8 on page 23M-5 seems to suggest that a 25mm flange is OK, since the BID tapes it illustrates going across the joint are only 50mm wide. > > Any thoughts welcome. > > in friendship > > Rowland > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
