Large hammers are wonderful and sometimes needed. Once upon a time I was changing the engine in a Marina and wanted to get the spigot bearing out of the flywheel. Having failed to get it out with a screwdriver the next step was to pack the hole with grease, find a drift the right size and belt it, which usually works. Not this time. Many hard hits later it was still there. In frustration I picked up a 2lb lump hammer, hit the drift and out the bearing popped just like it should have. Big hammers teach manners lol
I went to the 2nd engineering place yesterday and they only use 25x25x3 so no joy there, But they use lots of 1,3,5 and 10 plate and will let me rumage and they'll even cut to size and apply bends for me

Hi steve

I bought a Passat off a REME Crafty in the late eighties in Minden, he only sold it because he couldn't get the front discs off. A good dink with a smallish hammer from a 432 track bashing kit did the trick first time

All the best with your build

An ex REME sergeant once told me that R E M E stands for Rough Engineering Made Easy, is this correct? Welcome to the forum mate , I look forward to following your build.

The REME are wonderful people if they would only fix MY kit first that would be good and why have they got rid of their welders. I wondered down to the LAD today to get an of cut of some 5mm plate and was told all the welding is now done down at battalion wks. Threders, going down on Thursday
