Thanks for the help all. Now all I want is the rain to stop so I cannot get out and do things!

Does anybody know the proper name for these things. Have tried searching ebay etc for all sorts of variations on the word "clips" with no luck.

Thanks

My thoughts were (as I have the gear to do it, was to split some scaffold down its length and weld a couple of flanges down its length. I could the drop pins through. That way the ram would effectively be encased in scaffold tube and just to be extra certain.....make two. Too many things go wrong fo...

Brilliant, just didn't want to steam ahead blindly.
Have dozens of lengths of scaffold pole and fittings si fairly sure I can make something safe now I know it's an accepted way of doing things.
Up until now, my 100% safe way has been to make "Mrs C do it".........

Hi. I may have missed this in the manuals and searching the forum but is there a SAFE way of working on the engine with the shovel arms up and out of the way.

Damn, bugger and all sort of words far worse than that........ I have certified myself today as IDIOT Grade 1 With bar and flying colours. After weeks - I found it. I have crawled under, over, in and out of the damn thing trying to find the elusive Green/black wire. Well it wasn't there but staring ...
