Nuts & Bolts Day - Saturday, 6th May, 2006 ...
There was a good roll-up with about 13 vehicles attending.
The weather was kinder to us this year refraining from raining. We managed to have a campfire as a result of the permit and burning of almond prunings.
The shades were set up and some of the procedures of interest were:
Repairing a puncture on a tubeless tyre
Transferring charge from one battery to another using only speaker wire
Transferring fuel from a 200lt drum to your vehicle us ing your compressor
Changing a tyre from the rim and inflating it (in record time)
Navigation and using a GPS, a program & DVD screen
Using an under sink filter to filter suspect water for use
Repairing a radiator with 2 holes
Our sponsor sent along some products for viewing and at least one sleeping bag was bought
Different drawer systems
Our french-named damper cook invitee burnt the damper forcing us to cut off the burnt bits and cover it with home-made fig jam (we suggested she doesn't attend any more Nuts & Bolts days, but I can't repeat what she replied)
John brought a BBQ from the MFS and we had a great lunch. (The Wanderers repaired a couple of problems with the BBQ in appreciation)
Whistle, goggles bush survival
12 volt wheel ratchet
