Re: He cant half play the bongos

The biggest expense for the back is the bath in the one I have now its got a hydrobath but these are 2250 shelkels now and are fixed hight so give you a bad back bent over it fiberglass crap really the future is stainless steel a s/l bath is about 700 shelkels but if you want the same one that goes up and down its 1200 shelkels and its driven by a linear motor under the bath can't see it lasting long once its got wet
So here at allcock special products we found this on ebay
Image
A British made 160kg hydraulic lifting table the pump was slow to return 41shelkels
However automation is also the future so once more on on the eBay I purchased this Image
150kg ratclife hydraulic tail lift dit of an odd one cables run over the top,arms cut from 12mm plate 24v and just 4 foot wide I think it might of been a boc bottle lift ? Anyway at 99p I am having it Image nice big ram should come in for something (wink)
And best bit Image
A hybollock pump
Excuse me while I pause for reflection for a moment

I think everyone in the forum should collect as many lolly sticks and foil as possible, then post them all to Rabbi Allcock so he can "make" a new test van to play in :)

Connected it up to 12volt piped it to the ram and up it goes :-) and it goes down too it will even lift me
Just needs the motor solenoid changing to a 12volt one as it has a bit of trouble engageing on 12volts
And a longer pipe needs making up to put the motor in the cab out of the way Image
Its stripped down now waiting painting amphrashite I think I have enough left over from the little vans wheels
Then wait for dbvm to make me a bath to go on top of it

Don't hold your breath with DBVM, I rekon he is still pissy since you kicked him out. Still waiting on my lock covers.

The trouble with dbvm is he's a recovering pieoholic
He has all these good intensions but one sniff of a greggs pie shop and he wakes up 2 days later in a pool of piss pants round his ankles and a sore arse :roll:

He can't have anyone called Greg working with him, as he keeps biting them.
