Karcraft sell it for about $1400.

I bought a second hand pump and fitted it today. The brake bleed isn't quite right so I'll need to do it again when I have an assistant available.

The rear booster bleed nipple is an absolute pig to get to.

Maybe I should merge the threads?

I won't mention the paint roller I bought yesterday that was faulty when I got it home and opened the packet

Dunno if I mentioned this one...

3 years ago I bought a house in Toormina (Coffs Harbour). It was only 3 years old.

Last July I was informed it now had termite damage which had been picked up during the annual inspection - the termites were seen in the roof cavity. The house was protected by a termite control system but owing to a faulty concrete pour and the perimeter termite protection system not going far enough out past the concrete, the termites had found a way in.

Luckily I had maintained the 3-yearly recharge of the system and the annual inspections. I'm still negotiating with the builder over the repairs as the house is still under warranty (just).

Fortunately, the damage appears to have been limited to only two walls. A lot of the timber in one wall will need replacement.

I'd have the rights to the book and the movie, the tv series, the cartoon strip and the merchandise... but then again.....

Ron, there is a positive job out there for you. Quality Control at any major manufacturer; I'm sure Chrysler will lift its game enormously, with your natural talent and abilities...

(...mightn't get a car out of the factory for a while tho'....

)

Actually, forget Chrysler, take on the world, Chinese manufacturers definitely need your skills.

cheers, GQ
