I'm sure you'll catch your second wind, it's only tortin' Friday

Once I have a glass in my hand, I'm sure I'll feel better.

It'll help numb the pain of the £160 bill for a new tyre that I unexpectedly had to pay for today. No damage other than to my bank account fortunately

Had to have the wheel alignment sorted as well. That's the perils of having a 19 year old drive your car when he comes home from university. He denies he hit a kerb, but side wall damage and wheel alignment suggest otherwise.

that looks like an old machine, or is it for bike wheels? i used to have to fit up to 22'' , the machine had an arm to push down sidewall... before that it took 2 of us.... me acting as a tyre leaver and using the steel toes between bead and rim standing on tyre as it turned lol

im no inspector morse, but it does sound like foul play

 

[johnandjade]

mr ed... have you ever seen the trick of using flammable spray and flame to seat the beads of a tyre??

I've never done it, but seen some polish lads do it... silly stuff but it worked! i was going to stretch it overnight but the lads simply gave me a pat on the head and ushered me aside lol

It IS an old machine. State surplus. We have a CHEETAH tire inflator to seat stubborn tires.

sounds like a fun toy to power the new horn on the truck! .

 

[ZEROPILOT]

It would at that.
I rigged up an old fire extinguisher tank with an air fitting and used an electric "dump" switch that can do a short blast or a tank emptying thunder.
And the horn itself is off our our retired dump truck. All free parts, too. And it only costs tax payers about $90 for me to built it.

I finally got the photo to download.
It makes the hood vibrate. I'm not joking.

 

[johnandjade]
