    • Hard wiring? Wtf? Were you looking at 3 phase or something? I’m only looking at plug in jobbies.

      Had some of gaskets and stuff turn up today but no crank oil seals yet.

      Also, I was surprised to get this way earlier than I thought I would:

      • Biggest plug in Clarke is the 135 te turbo. I'm sure the 150 needs hard wired in.

            • Still looking into welders and Regs chinesium suggestion does look attractive. It would just need the gas hose, regulator and gas bottle. Furry muff.

                  Fuck it then, I’m into 2 bottles of cider and I’ll probably order it before the 5th.

                  • Ordered welder. Can anyone recommend a decent mask? Seen a few on eBay for about £25 that are solar and auto dim. Are they any good?

                    • What are your eyes like, might want to consider one that allows a cheater lens. I've reached that miserable stage in life.

                      I've got a Falcon YXE 500G because it was recommended by mig welding forum, I've a couple of others stashed in the garage. If you want, I'll send you one and a reg in exchange for the manifold.

                      If you want to splash out, get a parweld XR938

                        My hearing is compete dogshit but my eyesight is fucking epic. Does that mean I don’t need a cheater lense?

                        So I won’t be able to hear that perfect welding “crackle” but I’ll see the blow holes with X-ray precision.

                        The manifold is free, I’m happy to pay for a mask + postage.

                          Probably don't need a cheater lens then ....I SAID "YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED A CHEATER LENS"

                          We'll sort something out

                                eBay should come with a breathalyser.
