Ah Dennis I see you have one of those fancy Henrob welders.
I really should get mine up and welding again, it went into semi retirement when I ran out of gas and money. Just need to find it again :(
Great thread and have enjoyed reading watching the land rover live again.
Regards
Brendan

I always admire your anvil in your postings. Is that DIY or is it commercial? I looked up homemade anvils (as you do) and spent a good 20 minutes admiring various efforts - mostly made from old railway track. Slightly upsetting as I left a good length of same in a previous property , not thinking that it would ever be of much use! Duh!! Fascinating stuff.
cheers,

My take is Wayne means the L shaped tool he is making, with the riveted cross piece.Quote:

Your spot on Keith, cant work out what you wod use it on a tie rod.:confused:Quote:

On the threaded rod where the knob goes I made a collar threaded 7/16"BSF to protect the thread and also to sit square on the anvil while I belted the hot end to peen it over, it is all done now, cheers Dennis
ps next job will be to make a propellor shaft for the PTO,,.

They have been around for a while.
