Both bits are now finished as well as the 2 inch OD center support bar.  Now....for the moment of truth.   The partial test is a success. ;D You can see the DAF 32 beginning to rotate as my lift is lowered. I ran out of time so hopefully tomorrow a full test of the system. John |

We have workable rotisserie....   ...at least 90 degree rotation.  But, the underside of AERO can now be worked on at a comfortable angle without lying on my back. The only flaw with my new system is that the uprights are not tall enough to achieve a full 180 degree turn...oh well!  Still a nice bit of kit for a $ 250.00 investment. John |

WELL..... It's happened!! Today the first real snowfall of the season. I awoke to find everything covered in a blanket of that nasty White stuff. Almost two inches of the shite fell last night and it continues...  Unfortunately it will not stop me from going out to work since the ploughs and gritters from my village , a well as the State trucks, have already been out clearing it off. LOL...so much for staying indoors and warm.  John |

I'M SORRY....Of late there have been little or no new bulletins from across the pond. This has been due in part to my crazy whacked out work schedule, bitter Arctic type temperatures of a staggering -20 to -35 below zero (-29 to -37 C) and snowfall amounts far worse than the last 4 years combined. As far as work on any DAFs I have been a "Bear in Hibernation" this Winter.  This snow storm on Friday (14/2/2014) did not help either. After snowing for 28 hours there was just over 20 inches (51 cm) of new snow on the ground. As you can see my work truck is barely visible under the new blanket of white shite. John
