Pete Lewis Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Have to say whilst I understand the what and why you need some small end float on many bearing set ups ...rota flex is a job I have never had to tackle pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 ARRRHHHHH I can't believe it .......I have another engagement that Sunday. Is there any chance we could look at the 24th? I've achieved the end float by trial and error, hopefully never again! Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Rather than me source and transport one, ask Canley Classics? For a plug, I'm sure they would provide one, at a meeting they were due to attend. I could bring an engine stand and instruments to demonstrate ELOO.

Badwolf Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Brilliant ideas. Why not do video tutorials on a range of popular stuff. They could be filmed in front of a live audience at HQ and posted on a special part of the TSSC web pages. Youtube is awash with rubbish home movies type tutorials and if HQ is willing I'm sure that the videos would be a popular addition to the web site for the likes of myself who want to do work themselves but lack the knowledge. Everything from basic servicing to a full repaint job. Look at the help that has come from this forum ... plenty to go at!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Its been said on here few times , we decided to make a start but to cover all it will take days of outakes and editing ive made a good few in house traing and information videos in the past and sorry the time it takes is not available , well not from me in fact my damped tripod is still lurking at hq somewhere from when Garth Ray and myself made a start a couple of years ago... its like setting this idea up, the best intentions get hijacked and a day on the drive now means I have to go to hq, so be it , lets see what we can achieve , but any filming can fall on someone else youtube look at RB44 production video and theres a copy of what pair of cowboys did with a camera a editing video but no TV And titles made with toy letters pulled across the floor we did this back in 1990 ish so I wont volunteer now even though you can do it on a phone now. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Sad, but true. Just a shame not to record the seminars and pass the raw files onto some who has the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Pete. I'm sure I've seen some of your other videos. On specialist gentleman's sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 No I never did close ups , and these wont be a 'seminar' more a friendly twiddle and eplaination day out to show some of the basics to those who need a little nudge to give the confidence to DIY and dispel any dark art myths If anyone finds something to record onnthe day feel free. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Pete. In the absence of specific video tutorials (and I really appreciate the time and commitment needed to do a quality job),perhaps it would be possible via the forum, to compile a list of 'how to' videos to help those of us who have little practical experience and want to learn. Maybe a simple listing of description, for the search engine, and a web link to youtube etc. Of course this may already have been done and I haven't found it. I really admire those of you with a mechanical gift and I really want to try to do many jobs as you can see from some of my posts. Thanks to Pete, Doug, Casper and others, have been quite successful, but the bigger, more technical stuff (clutch, engine, suspension etc), I need a bit of practical, visual, guidance for. Never been too good with text books etc, but show me and that's something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 How long does a valuation take? To many would swamp the day and impact on twiddling. We'd have twiddle drift. How is the AO training going? Micky at Thames and Mark at East Berks are both going for it next month. So I'm happy to wait till then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
