Could be worse. Could be an invisible white rabbit called Harvey.

Too late to ask Jimmy. So better ask Alice, I think she'll know.

I know absolutely nothing about metallurgy or what the different grade codes mean but I'm sure someone on here will know the answer to my query.

A few years ago I knocked together this harrow for loosening the compacted gravel on our drive. With a heavy weight on top it did a fairly decent job but, as you can see in the photo, the teeth have worn down to almost nothing.

This was ...

@ Trev, quite agree. Wife's TT failed MOT on a broken front coil spring, a good spot by them! They quoted £450 to repair. Job done on the drive by me (in the rain, in a day) for under £100 (new coil and top mount).

It's actually even worse, there is so much easy money in simply servicing cars now, that most garages will not tackle the "difficult stuff" - like changing a head gasket !

Neighbour needed a new head gasket and she asked four local garages and they all declined to do it.

I asked a garage mate of mine and he confirmed that he doesn't do head gaskets - why - He says it's not worth ...

Hmm - haven't seen one, so it'd have to be able to hold the clip and open it up a bit for easy removal/replacement. I'll ask my upholsterer mate and see what he knows- He's old and has all sorts of stuff I've never seen before---

The rabbit's thinking, "Who is this guy? He doesn't make any sense. Why did I take this gig?" 🤣🤣🤣

Most peculiar mama. Indeed.

You may be right. I haven’t tried yet. I just remember seeing the tool, in the dim and distant past, and wondered whether it was available.

IF it's the clip i'm thinking of it only has barbs on one end so you hook the barbs into the material then roll the other end without barbs over the frame. To remove it would be a matter of rolling the unbarbed end off the frame-------------------------yes/no
