Oh yes Russ it's certainly a whopper, and it only just fits without fouling the door handle as it turns. I want to replace that handle with one with a lock and I'll have to be careful that it's no longer.

Yesterday my boxes of 20 and 25 mm conduit 'half clips' arrive. These are the clips for the flexible conduit that is draped all over the engine and they have to fix on existing bolts so needed to be wide enough to drill out to 10 mm. They also need a 'backing plate' in places where they are in free air to stop the conduit falling out of the back of the clip.
I cut a batch of backers and after a clean up gave them a coat of zinc paint.
Only had time to fit one conduit - the one for the fuel solenoid, but they seem to work OK :thumbup:
Social duties stop more play today :(
John Rudd:
Looking very tidy now... :clap: :thumbup:
How inconsiderate that social duties take precedence over 'toy time' :coffee: Mind you we have to look after 5 grand kids during the week ( not all at the same time... :drool: ) so my time playing with toys is a little stretched...But I still get the opportunity to read posts on here... :ddb:
awemawson:
Only five grandchildren John, you're slipping - I've TEN :bugeye:
We've just had the twin six year old girls and their brother for an extended (exhausting) weekend, but they've now gone to my son in Houston, and were last seen (on Facebook) in the cockpit of the BA plane with the pilot so I hope the poor chap is OK :ddb:
Another twelve year old grandson arriving tomorrow for a week - don't you love the school holidays !
. . . but I'm DETERMINED to get this generator finished so that I can move on to the next stage in this project.

I did actually manage to escape for 90 minutes this afternoon, and assembled and documented what I'm calling the 'Gathering' DIN rail assembly. This is essentially where all the modularised parts get connected together, and it also houses the fuses for L1 and 24V that go to the Deep Sea Controller.
It takes a surprising amount of time to put these things together !
