My best ones are fit a 3 phase motor and vfd..much less belt changing needed

and electrical table lift and fall

Manchester apparently had a power delivery system running on water...highish pressure water was supplied to your premises and you could use that to run machines ,generate electricity or power lifts..

How does that work then with all houses on a main road having names? I did think that everywhere had a number attached. The postcode narrows it down to about 10 houses on my road but i would hate to be a new driver finding a house without a number ..

3 boxes of 10 arrived in a much oversized plastic bag

each magnet has a nylon washer between it and the keeper

i ordered some from zoro and had the email this morning saying its being posted and surprise Parcelforce has just turned up with the magnets

my wife and i gathered together our old stamps that needed changing and to our shock we had over £300 worth so we had to use special delivery which was £8 or so

They were sent off to Edinburgh and after about 3 weeks new ones were sent from Tyne and Wear..with additional stamps to cover the special delivery cost

I have placed over 150 orders from banggood some over £300 and have never been charged anything duty wise

only a few orders from Ali express though but the same no duty..

It’s for habisat belts as `Dave wootton said

Yes as i said it only allows you to tighten the spring return action if you want to loosen it you push the ball off the housing and it will loosen it

This is the spring housing removed from the body and the spring and ball

Same machine mines just got another hole in the top

Well lets see a pic then?

Well i posted the picture as you were asking about a fobco 7/8 which the picture is of..if you want a picture of a star ask away

Just a pity they are so transient…

The hole near the front has a spring in it with the ball the hole behind lets you release the ball

The spring housing has a small ball bearing with a quite powerful spring pushing on the housing so you can only turn it towards making the return action stronger theres a small hole nearby that you can poke a small rod into to release the ball..

1.25 pitch is nowhere near 32 tpi

try 0.8mm pitch

The ones i was given today are a set of metric pairs 5,6,7,8,9,11and 12mm. No 10mm sadly

theres a date on them 1944 with an arrow…is that a MOD mark?

i wonder how many metric threads were needed in the post war years and I’ve never needed 7,9 and 11mm threads

the die holder i pictured i have bought on eBay looks to be the same brand “easterbrook” so hopefully it will work
