Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck
So another long overdue job done after work last night was to fit the Dentists lamp in the carport for inspection of engines and other detailed items when you need a super light source.
Thanks to Paul “Oblertone” who brought it up to me and left it with his daughter in Essex to collect a few weeks ago. So I prepared two 100mm x 50mm pieces of wood to fit between the roof beams, and painted and screwed them together. Then found my 65mm drill bit (call it what you want) to drill a hole through for the adjustable hanging post to go through, as well as the wiring from the lamp to mains. One of those purchases made years ago from a member on UKGSER who needed to move it on. At Ł80.00 it was and is a bargain. My other 1950’s drillpress has ceased to function, tripping the power when you turn it on. Used the rattle gun to run the coach screws in to hold the mounting plate in place, and cut the excess 10mm off the rear with a cutting disc. Mounted with some more free hardware. Its not going anywhere. Light fitted. Mickey of course came around to check up on me after he had his dinner. He liked it. Tucked away. And seen in perspective. Does not get in the way of headroom. Of course I had to go see just how bright it is after sunset as well. I think it works. One dentists junk is another mans treasure. Dismantle mobility scooters rear end tonight.
