Hows about an update Bill?

OK, the sidecar is on a box beside the bike whilst I try to figure out the actual mounting of the dammed thing.

I got a pair of marine grade stainless steel turnbuckle type thingies for £25.

I'll wander outside in a mo and take a snap.

Bollocks, pics are too wide to fit on this silly skinny forum.
I shall officially sulk.

Tell me if you want any more turnbuckles.

by Bill (the boss) on Sat May 21, 2011 4:56 pm

Have you got free ones then? I could do with two more please.

Last night (sat night) a friend of mine came round for a visit (Keith aka Boatbuoy) and his different thinking came up with what could be a flipping brilliant idea for mounting the chair!
I shall keep schtum for now, but if you see it mounted in a slightly unconventional manner, then it was his idea, not mine

I'll see what there is when I get back home Bill (currently in Gozo). I've deffo got one, there may be another - stainless - only about 10mm thread though. That any good?

by Bill (the boss) on Mon May 23, 2011 8:48 pm

10mm stainless is what I bought allready, so yes, 10mm or bigger, stainless or not, eye or fork ends, anything gratefully received.

I'll check on tuesday (ash cloud permitting) when I'm back at work.

Fankoo

OK It seems I dont need turnbuckles, I need rigging screws, they look like posh turnbuckles with locknuts and a enclosed body. Ho well.
