" --peace in our time'. --- For a while. 🙄."

Lasted about an hour I think.

Iran boasting they won, up to a point they have, are still launching drones and missiles at Gulf states, and still blocking the Strait.

Trump not looking good, as it looks more like he capitulated and not the Mullahs/IRG.

I can't see it being long before it blows up again completely and litera...

It will be interesting to see what the white roadster goes for.

Can somebody tell me please the correct length of the slave pushrod? This is a 1275 clutch and slave.

I bought a pair of Jones springs and ended up riding on the bump stops after 10 miles.
I then bought a pair from Rossendale, they were a bit over-arched, but settled down eventually.

My roadster has a pair of RV8, single leaf , parabolics.
/They were made by British Springs in Bridgnorth.
Owens springs bought them out.
I spoke to Owens about getting another...

Higher carbon content brings its own problems such as weld embrittlement due to carbon uptake from the material, using a low heat input process like MIG doesn't help. If it has to be welded and better than mild steel I would have suggested EN16 or EN24 as with around 0.3% carbon welding is doable and as low alloy steels they're tougher and can be hardened but it looks like the original was flat ba...

Mild steel has a very low carbon content, below 0.3%, and won't heat treat to make it harder. You need steel with a higher carbon content, around 1%.
Pieces of old car springs will work better!!

Thanks for the suggestions.

It's not pretty, but then my welding never is and it must be over 40 years since I did any arc welding.

I used rods that a friend passed on to me, Phoenix 6013 and I'm sure are fairly soft, general purpose ones.

At least it has given me a way forward. I'll see how this works and then, perhaps, renew the teeth all together but edge them as Willy sugg...

If you end up stick welding the bottoms and leading edges with some good hard stuff---
Weldclass Platinum 943 sticks would be your best choice.

Update, cheaper to just buy as strip - for example https://rockforge.co.uk/product/weld-on/

So you have options:
- Build up existing teeth with hard rods
- Replace teeth with new in mild steel and then edge with hard rods
- Replace teeth with hardox (weldable wear plate)

Look for "Hardox", it's sold in strips for repairing digger buckets. Not cheap!
