  4. Hey Mike, I’ll take this. Will be coming from 07436, so meetup anywhere between works. LMK please. Cheers Brad
  5. Some trivia iro the knife’s name - Umnumzaan (colloquially ’numzaan) means Big/Important/Boss man.
  6. It’ll work as per current design. A couple of tweaks for consideration… 1. As per current plan, nylon straps might be a mare when sliding in and out 2. As per current plan, add cross members (2x4) just below the max stretch of the upper straps to avoid inward leaning by 4x4 over time. 3. 2 PVC pipes mounted lengthways would provide far more support and easy to slide in/out (you may battle to perfectly equalize the weight across straps when more than 2 straps). it’ll work as per current design.
  7. But therein lies my point, your old design distributed the weight lengthways and not sideways … anyway, probably edgecase
  8. Nice Jon, looks good … one thing that jumps out is the upward pressure of the cradle and downward pressure of the yak is pretty concentrated on a rather narrow/thin/small surface area of the hull … one hefty jolt on a loaded yak after going over a large rock/pavement and you may end up needing all your pro craftman’s skills stitching it back together again.
  9. Thanks @Bergallmaster, @Seadogg, @757saltwater … what I’ve tried so far … Expanded view bump on thermostat cover prevents straight down (vertical) access solid part of the motor stops straight (horizontal) access - see purple arrow relative angle (see purple) with normal socket coming in horizontally (right to left) using “wobble” socket coming down at about a 45* angle and showing relative angles (purple)
  10. Can’t come directly at it with a normal socket or from the top with a “wobbly” socket … just not enough space thoughts? For reference, those bolts are #10 size
  11. Hi Guys … going insane trying to remove the bottom bolt from the thermostat’s cover … even heated up a spanner and bent it to a better angle, still not. Any tips will be hugely appreciated. Tx Brad
