That part is years old, he has added a socket and told them everything was ok. There are more dodgy things in the garage but to just leave it all when its a mate. Reckon it was a builder will try to find out more.

Well the batten holder does look fairly new and white but the rest of it......well.... 5+ years. When was the last time anyone used those cable clips after all?

I would think that wiring is as old as the garage to me it looks like twin so probably is forty years old. I could be wrong I usually am.

It's not some way around the regs by plugging in to an existing circuit? Like the B&Q outside sockets that come as a kit and you just plug them in to the ring..........

Its one of them old batten connectors you'r mom or gran used to use to plug the Iron into a light socket!!!!

They have not been allowed to sell them for a few yeasr now!!!

I still have one or two knocking around...I use one to a 13a socket ,

I can stick my fuse finder transmitter into..helps when tracing circuits!

this is the closest you can get - if you own a soldering iron.........

Jolly good idea is that Specs, Sir.

That is one for the Tips & Tricks section. IMHO.

I have got a modified one of them as well!!!!! :^O

I shall have to take a picture when I get a spare moment...

My ES-BC converta plugy thing is a screw together jobbie, you could dismantle it and connect wires to the inside bits with just a screwdriver and cutters.. No soldering Iron needed!

I put a Euro-Socket connector thing onto the end of it with a trailing earth lead with a croc clip on it...

It was a sort of "poor-Mans" "Lamp-Mate" connector that I could plug my meter into light fittings...

Before those awfully nice Nappit people sold me the set of Lamp-mates at a "Members discount rate" even though I am not a member!Blushing:O

B-)

I should have known!

I should have known!

don't think mine was actually a "Maplin" item..

but it is a dismantleable, (is that a word), (Yes "That" IS a word), (is dismantleable a word?), ES-BC adaptor which is too many years old now for me to remember where I got it from! :|

BUT...................

I haven't got a "Reverse running grinding wheel"

OR

a hoof knife! :_| :_| :_| :_|

 

[Evans Electric]

Oh no , I'd forgotten about the reverse grinding wheel.

I had one of those knives, for getting Boy Scouts out of horses hoofs.

Would you or anyone else happen to have a spare one that I could have off of you please?

I like that idea so much - I want to make one.

I asked my Neighbour as he used to have 'em - but he has had a look but he no longer has them.

Thanks.
