Re: 4 Post Lift Options

Finally installed a mobile 4-poster from Automotech services - great service and nice bit of kit which works well with the 911's:

Re: Timber frame garage: Natural Insulation

My heart beat a little faster there just for a moment as the word Timber appeared in the title. :) But sheeps wool insulation ? All I know is it can be expensive, it offers about half the insulation value of the same thickness Kingspan and if it gets wet, it never dries out. But don't let me put yo...

Re: Timber frame garage: Natural Insulation

Wow - as ever a great DDK response :)

Consensus suggests I should reconsider my newly found environmental sheeps wool in favour of Kingspan et al :roll:

Timber frame garage: Natural Insulation

Hi, Having finally completed my oak frame/clad garage, I now need to install some insulation. I plan to use a breathable membrane pinned to the timber sub-frame then 50mm wool insulation (which I guess qualifies me as an environmentalist) installed between battens finally sheathed with plywood or ch...

Re: 4 Post Lift Options

Thanks everyone for the feedback. That Automotech 'short bed' certainly looks compelling: https://www.automotechservices.co.uk/products/4t36s-mobile-4-post-parking-lift/ I understand that I will need a 150mm C25 concrete slab to support the leg loading, any thoughts on the minimum grade of reinforce...

4 Post Lift Options

Hi,

Any recommendations for a 4-post lift suitable for a clear space of 2.75m x 5.4m?

Have viewed on-line products from Strongman, Twinbusch and SJR but hard to distinguish which are the better ‘real-life’ products?

Thx

Re: Porsche 356A Horn Button - Restoration

Agree with Roy, I don't mind patina or wear'n'tear but the horn crazing plain isn't nice.

Porsche 356A Horn Button - Restoration

My 356A horn button is generally in good condition however as seems common it is crazed on the surface. Reading a few threads on the 356 forum as well as the following photographs on http://www.356garage.com.au/ it would seem that the crazing can be successfully removed by filling the crazing with s...
