[Dave Lane]

I have a habit of making stuff from other stuff , ive alway done this ever since i was a wee kid so heres some of the random stuff ive made from stuff people chuck out .
Call me a womble if you like but its what i do.
K & N air filter backs from a pair of saucepans

Coil bracket from the top of an old set of kitchen scales

God only knows what i made this from but id did involve a jubilee clip from something or other

[Dave Lane]

fan grill from an old electric motor vent

High level brake light from a motor capacitor cover , an old screwdriver handle and a door window stop , as well as other bits i cant remember

[Dave Lane]

Alternator brackets from old warehouse chair back supports , i also used these as exhaust supports

[Dave Lane]

Talking of exhaust support , this was some kind of bracket for ducting

[John A. Ross]

Dave, the exhaust clamp is a work of art ! After just scratching the head and doing that job its great you managed it with standard shield plate, I had to move mine up 20mm or so.


Love the JD coil cover, we use Irn bru ones here, ask Jim Fraser

[John A. Ross]

I have been ferreting around looking for a solution to cover this, not found anything yet as lack of space I have throw literally everything out that I can over past year so the cupboards are bare

You are kind of the opposite of John and Jim, they buy lots of new bits, find out these are wrong, throw them in the bin, buy some more and so on.......
