Hi Robert, I think you'll find that even car derived vans exceeding 2 Tonnes laden weight will be the same as all commercial vans as far as maximum speeds are concerned.

Regards Nick.

Nick a van cannot be classified as a car-derived van if it's laden weight is above 2 tonnes.

according to the lecture of my recent speed awereness course what matters is what is written in the logbook. which was useful to know as both my pickups weigh over 2 tons loaded

The domestic oven is a fine device for gently and controllably heating a part for shrink fitting purposes, and is usually conveniently located near the freezer nerd Just remember to clean any oil off first.

Nice belt sander, is it Jeremy Schmidt's design?

and most inportantly wait till SHMBO has gone out

Thread: What Cutter For Big Cuts On A Small Mill?

a desire to get the job done in reasonable time.

drilling is to slightly less than tapping finished size.

I would rough screw-cut the threads and finish with a tap (under power in the lathe?) - likely saves time compared to getting the single point threading just right.

sorry i am confused if you got a tap why not drill it the correct size and tap the thread
