Yes, I've had no problems thus far with the half dozen Tilley 169's I bought off them. But they've only had a couple hrs running time each. I've...
Indeed so. The last time I ordered from them (circa 3 weeks back) it was about 1pm Friday afternoon and it arrived about 10 days later. Lesson...
I've never done it personally. If you allow the paint to cure properly at normal room type of temperatures then it's fine imo. I usually leave it...
They're extremely laid back, bless em'. Quite why it takes them 7 or 8 working days to despatch 4 vapourisers they apparently have 'in stock' is...
It would be interesting to try that particular spigot in the older, taller, burner head (from a Guardsman) with a 169 vapouriser. I'm currently...
Here's one lit for the first time since assembly, I painted and finished a couple of days ago. It pulsed quite aggressively for the first hour,...
At one point I did seriously consider the drill option tbh. I was about to buy a 2.65mm tapping bit and 5BA tap off eBay, but at the last second...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] So here's that control cock with the bypass tap chamber plugged and blocked. I thought I'd jazz it up a bit and give it the...
I received a 5BA this morning and it threads to conclusion in one of my BR49's. Unfortunately though, the control cock I had in mind for this...
@ColinG: Hope you're well and I know what you mean about being roasted on these forums, though why on earth anyone would castigate you for such a...
@Tony Press A nice addition to the armoury
@Ian Bingham Funnily enough I was researching all that last night, until quite late. It appears I had a couple of, what I think are, 1/8 BSW...
I think we're talking BSF here tbh.
Is British Brass thread 1/8th then?? I've done the best I can trying to get the TPI correct, it does seem to be 48. But it's difficult doing it...
Major diameter 1/8th, with what I've counted as 48TPI.
On my analogue micrometer it is 0.1249" major diameter.
A long shot, but does anyone know the thread size of the little tap in the picture? It's on the 777a control cock/preheater. [ATTACH]
God yeah, totally agreed. If you ask me it's eBay that is largely responsible for it. I think there's a generation now that wants all the leg work...
The root thing is interesting, might give that a go, the Wife usually tries to recruit me on some form of garden duties each Spring/Summer and as...
Jolly nice. These are my favourite lanterns bar none. I'm turning all the Guardsmans I have currently into BR49 type clones, with custom leg...
