    As has already been said, great video. Love the lateral thinking to sort stuff and the cylindrical dremel grinder was a stroke of genius!

    Those bearings were bloody awful, no idea why they were that bad especially for a decent brand like SKF.

    - maybe Chinese knock-offs?

    It worked a lot better than I thought it would!

    I was thinking the same thing, so for the replacement one I got it through an skf dealer who ordered it directly from skf Australia, so you'd hope they are legit

    With only a couple of small jobs to tidy up this episode I thought we could have a walk around the workshop and checkout the tools i've been
    using to build the Stratos tarmac Rally car

    Excellent, thanks Colin, you've packed a load of kit in there. Out of interest how big is your machine shop area?
