Keysert are better than hellicoils for sparkplugs in my opinion. You can google or you tube them.

Thanks yeah I've been reading up on my options.

Speaking of which, my new-to-me 170 arrived a few days ago. It's hardly seen any action. The spur sprocket had the slightest bruising that suggested it had run some chain, and the chain cutters were still full length (but rounded over like they had kissed a rock or gotten jiggy with some fencing wire).

I have a new carb' coming for it and once I figure out how to get the oil output it needs and buy a new spacer for the bar, I'll be making table tops faster than a really fast thing.

Looks like you got one of the flash new ms171s? don't forget to get a dog for it off a 180/181 so you can dog it in and really get the best out of that little bar! ha.

Anyone have experience with earth screws/earth anchors? The sort used for holding guy lines on power poles and towers, etc? Am keen to learn more about how to set and remove them and roughly what they can hold and what sorts of soils are best. Just trying to work out if I can use half a dozen of them to guy a small winch tower that I need to move and reset often, often in areas where there are no suitable anchor trees.

I don't have that info to hand but if you get a part number or brand you can google the tech data sheets and the rest is maths

woo hoo. An all downunder rugby world cup final. Like brothers beating each other up in the back yard footy games.

While the cat's away, this mouse made a fid. What's the bet I don't get away with it.


First crack at a locking eye splice. Seems really easy with this stuff.

C'mon man. The fuglies provide the best ride, being so grateful an' all.

Here's hoping a dry ground and showing the world what running rugby is all about. Really looking forward to the loose forward battle. I think the wallabies have the wood on the ABs in that area of the game. The way the refereeing has been, I expect a few yellow cards when players lose the plot while trying to slow the ball down, or retaliate as the other side tries to slow it down.

I don't think there'll be a player left standing by the end of it, each team trying to run the other into the ground to get the edge in the last 10 minutes.

I got up early this morning for the game...we had it won 10-11 minutes in with the tournaments quickest try and a great interception.

Looking forward to the final....the two best teams no doubt in my mind.

Anyone need some throwline/spearfishing line? Just bought a roll of 12-strand dyneema 2.5mm line but don't need so much. Supposed to be over 600kgs breaking strain, which seems ridiculous for such thin/light line.
I only need it to be about 100kgs as a haul-back line for my winch and chokers, and will also grab some as a throwline, but out of curiosity I might get it tested too.

Was going to build a big-shot type of launcher but might just leave it on one of those Alvey type handline reels and hurl a weight into trees. My aim is improving and my range will too as this is way lighter than the 7mm rope I have been using as a throwline.

how much extra do you have? got a spare 20m? how much?

 

[KiwiBro]

Got about 200m extra.
Was about NZD 0.94/m. I reckon the post will be naff all as this stuff is so light.

I hope all the players are fit to play, better contest and when both sides are on song, its a spectacle not to be missed.
I hate to admit it but I think AB will take it again, but that said the aussies can win and I naturally hope so.
