I have recently got these 2 steelcraft panels labeled as TS47 what do you think they are? I can not see them on the current Steelcraft lists on their website: http://www.steelcraftparts.co.uk/

You can get stick on heated rear window panels.

I agree even microsoft have left Internet Explorer behind. The current version of Edge is based on Chromium code the same base as Google Chrome.
Why do security updates effect the format? Customised style (what makes it TSSC rather than plain Invision) should be in separate CSS style sheet.
I am not familar with the detail of the Invision code base but I would have thought that functionality particular to TSSC could/should be in a separate module/component whoever they call it.

I saw a thread about how much the bits of a Triumph weight. I can not remember if it on here or elsewhere,
Can you help?

I have visited and talked to these people who are IOW based. https://www.jr-roofingiw.co.uk/roofing-supplies.php
they build stuff like barns and stables - I can get the steel cladding from them. They hold stock of the common stuff and get made to measure any lenght and any colour within 2 weeks.

I have bought timber from RHF they are very friendly and helpful. I think their buildings are kits from elsewhere they are resellers not manufacturers. Some of their log cabins are Polish so somebody told me.
Just looked at their website one of the downloads is for Estonian wood cabins.

I have a steel framed and clad garage. 50mm twin skin insulated roof, and I dry lined the single skin walls.
Floor has a DPM in it, not had the slightest hint of any moisture in it, even on any of the large lumps of cast iron that used to be wringing wet in the old garages.
Colin What is twin skin insulated.
I was thinking of using insulted steel roof panels. They have the normal plastic coated exterior surface and rather the anticondensation flock layer have a composite base layer. The inner face is white bit like polyripple covering the insulation. Choice of insulation depth I was thinking of 40mm. I will try to find a photo or diagram to illustrate.
As I said earlier I may go for steel wall cladding as getting any wood cladding here on the IOW is proving hard. Only seems to be short lengths like used in fence panels available just now. My garage/workshop is 7.2 x 5 meters so want/need long lengths if using wood cladding.

not a garage but i built my 6 x 3 mtr workshop from odds and sods , the walls are timber 25mm T &G shelving removed from the factory clad with 18mm shiplap sits on a 3x2 frames on a raised cement bed to stop any under run of rain water sits over old slabs no dpc initial had a corrugated plastic roofing this made condensation like the titanic , replaced with triple box poly carbonate and this solved the drips completely as with any clear roof it does need shading in the summer , but no drips or Oops its gone rusty tooling , dry and now 20 years old

,
Triple box polycarbonate great idea. I was thinking of how to add top lighting.

My last garage had plain coated steel roof and did have condensation.
This time I may be using insulated sheets. Or fit a membrane under the sheets + board under the roof timbers with ply.
The walls will also include wrap under the cladding and ply on the inside. Wall outer face was going to be timber cladding but that seems very hard to source at the moment hence may be using steel sheets.

I have a large pile of brick pavers that I could use to lift the timber off the slab. I would put a DPC under the timber framing on top of the pavers.
I plan to have a pitched roof covered with plastic coated steel sheets. Vented soffits yes or possibly no actual wood soffit just netting to keep the wildlife out. Planning to have the roof overhang the eaves at each end. As somebody said to me "put a big hat on your shed to keep the rain off the walls"
The walls cladding is still to be finalised as it seems hard to get tongue and grooved cladding at present. May end up doing the cladding with steel. Whatever I use will be fitted to overhang the slab edge but stop short of the earth.

I am building a timber frame 5 x 7.2m workshop.
I have recently taken the shuttering off the base of my new garage workshop. The slab is cast over a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM). Unfortunately concrete has got past the DPM at the side. I will be putting a Damp Proof Course (DPC) at the edge of the slab under the floor plate.
What if anything do I need to do the side of the slab?

Very useful films and they also included the very early version of the 6 cylinder engine fitted to the Vanguard Six which has largely been forgotten.
Thanks Steve,
Dave
I have another film strip that featured both 4 and 6 cylinder engines. Its from the Leyland Motor era so a bit later on I think. Will be uploading that to YouTube soon.

I have been working with Adrian Hebron from New Zealand to make available video versions of the old Standard Triumph training film strips. Adrian has a big collection of the original film strips. He has scanned them PDF and I have converted them to video. Another item for my Vitessesteve collection.
Here is a link to the whole current playlist.
I will adding more video over time.
Another item for my Vitessesteve collection as made available via my website at http://vitessesteve.co.uk/

I am a subscriber and my last magazine arrived today. The magazine confirms it is the last edition but disappointingly from what I can see so far there is no mention in the mag about existing subscriptions.

Have you seen this http://zenithcarb.co.uk/
I have always found Burlen very helpful.. There is a lot of info on their website.
Those numbers show you have a back and a front pair.

Charles Clark were the feature business in the 48th post in my continuing series about Standard Triumph car dealers.
Early in their history the company was a coach builder. This Rolls-Royce Phantom II was sold for around £1 million in 1986 and subsquently auctioned by Bonhams.
You can read the full article on my blog at: http://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/2017/10/charles-clark-triumph-car-dealer-48.html
Plea for information
If you have any more information or recollections about the Charles Clark group, photos of window stickers, dealer badges or sill plates etc please let me know.

Always good to see original dealer paperwork such as this. The Newbury Cars Ltd of Muswell Hill item for my Triumph Car dealers collection.

Cyril J Deal Ltd of Kelvedon near Colchester who were a Triumph car dealer were the subject of a short article for my blog post 47.
http://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/2017/10/cyril-j-deal-ltd-of-kelvedon-triumph.html
In addition to the rear window sticker image I have this photo of a branded yellow duster.
What is the most unusual dealer branded item you have?
