Not yet still poorly waiting for the ram seals plus when I pulled the ram to bits it picked up on the thread so may have to make a new end cap To be honest my attention span has expired hence me making the tooth for my pal got a bit of work on as well so a nice break form pissing around with it
On another note got to wire up an old Land Rover that was told just needs the lights wiring now it’s turned up it hasn’t even got a dash board or any wiring at all was a petrol but has had a diesel fitted so need to start from scratch, ffs not even got a battery box just a hole under the seat

What happened to not spending any money on it

I‘d have thought you’d have just transplanted an upgraded ram?

Ahh hold that thought as part of the deal with the digger I also cleared out a shipping container I couldn’t lift because it was full of crap sorry the guys pride belongings was a half pallet of welding rods so disposed of the rods for him so I could lift the thing and the guy who gets my seals only has stick welders so going to do a deal so no money will be spent, plus if I had a suitable ram laying around it would of been stuck on by now but never say never

I see mogman has the charging issue sorted

Thought I’d stick my pit picture here instead of hi jacking gunners thread

got my channel steel welded up just need some 20mm flat bar on edge to stick on top so the 3/4” road plates will be flush with the floor that I’m using to cover the pit
but also been busy on the truck shifting boxes about

20mm square solid'd be a lot stronger and longer lasting/resistant to damage Mog

It’s only going to form an edge for the concrete so should last

Having seen it done like that many times I agree that a square would be better.
Dirt will get in between & push the flat out.
As will moisture & freeze doing the same.
Never mine equipment catching it & bending it.

or even go OTT and go to 40 x 20 flat ...... would never move

Wouldn’t work as I need a bearing for the steel plates

heres my plan
black is the concrete panel
red is 6”x3” channel welded together
yellow will be poured concrete
brown is a 20mm thick steel plate to cover the open pit
green is the 20mm flat bar on edge welded to the channel
so can’t have anything too wide as will make the 20mm plate be too close to the edge of the pit

Ok I’ll come clean I’ve a load of 20x6 flat bar (that came in the scrap some fabrication shop that had closed down) you known I don’t like spending money when I don’t need too

I'd already guessed that ..... just have to seam weld it then

Yep that’s exactly how I did mine about 20 years ago Even painted the angle yellow

 

[Giles]

We do loads in ferodo where we do 50x50 angle with 20x10 flat bar weld to it, sprags on the angle and forms the edges of our pits and cable ways then 10mm chequer plate dropped in to close them up.

That’s what mine will be like but 20mm plate
