Another build thread

[james3004]

Looks like your getting on well john, at this rate you'll catch me up

Out of interest how much was the gas and did you get it from starmaker? I have got a BOC contract but it's pretty damn expensive especially if your not using it much

I'll be watching this thread closely! Interested in the cost of the gas too!

My gas wasn't cheap...
Think it was about £180 to buy the bottle outright (which includes a built in regulator).
Refills/exchanges are then around £38 a pop.

You need to start a thread soon CTWV50, it'd be good to compare notes

Haven't done anything on the build for the last couple of weeks, been busy with far less interesting things.
Made a start stripping the donor at the weekend though, and already sold a couple of hundred quids worth of stuff on ebay and mx5nutz. I've got high hopes of breaking even on it!

Try Energas if you have a local branch i have found them to be the best. There is a small monthly rental but you dont have to pay upfront for the bottle, just for refills at a decent price

Just phoned a local supplier an 11 litre bottle is £139.25, Quick release fitting and reg £9.99, refills £36.75. How much gas am I likely to use, no experience at all of this sort of thing.

A local company are doing me a boc bottle for £73 a year rental and £33 for refills it's 1 meter tall bottle. Seems like a reasonable deal. Erm were did you get those little plastic blocks from for the jig? And what are they? Can't find the little buggers anywhere!

[K4KEV]

the little plastic blocks tend to be the ones that hold most kitchen cabinets together so hardware section of b and q or screwfix/toolstation etc

[CTWV50]

Ahh thanks

I got a bag of 100 of those little blocks off ebay, which is more than enough! Try searching for 'modesty blocks'.

Just got a cheque for £68.33 from the DVLA for road tax refund on my donor
Makes a change them giving me money!
