Really struggling with the heat at the moment. I'm not a hot weather person & after marching the streets all day delivering the Mail, I've been getting home with a stonking headache & sleeping all afternoon. Just makes me feel lousy.
So no progress for a few days. I've just walked up to the garage though to drop some stuff off. Fitted one nut, (the locking ring on the interior light switch). I guess that's still progress, but so much to do. I really wanted to get the Pop up to Leicestershire in September for the Popstalgia show, but reckon I'll struggle to make it in time.

Took the weight tube to the powder coaters this afternoon. I asked Craig the owner about using shot blasting grit to fill it & he showed me the steel grit they use. It comes in bags that are roughly A4 size & about 4" thick. He told me they weigh 40 kilos -certainly felt heavy when I picked one up, but I guess that's basically a solid block of metal, in powder form.
Comparing the bag to my tube, I reckon it might hold 2 1/2 bags. That's 100 kg, which Google tells me is over 15 stone. I haven't weighed myself in years, but I'm guessing I'm around that, despite my lithe ballet dancer's physique. So it would be the equivalent of a bloke sitting on the back of the chassis. I reckon that should be enough to replace the weight of the pick-up bed. It costs 80 quid a bag new, but Craig said he could save up some used stuff for me.
They always have interesting stuff in the workshop. I assume this is a lorry cab, rather than a pick-up?

Now I'd be up for making a metal sculpture of man ( monkey) sat on the back of your chassis..looking at traffic behind ,freaking out the fellow cage owners ? Grin instead of a tube full of metal..but then I'm like that.. Cheesy Cheesy

A thinking gorilla (or monkey of the right size) would be ideal....

I fancy having a go at wood carving once my vehicles are done -I'd love to make a monkey totem pole.

Archie, can you order me a master cylinder please, plus a blanking plug kit & a Dynamat roller.
It's from a VW bus, but I'm not sure what bore size or year,(we tried several during the build). Think it was the largest size. You thought it was from a left hand drive model didn't you? Do you need me to bring it into the shop for identification?
