    FS - Other PRE-ORDER: LiFePO₄WER Lithium Batteries

    What happens to the battery if it breaks down for whichever reason? Does get it get sent back to China for repair or what is the plan?

    Victron inverters

    Victron is really good. I know of a few installs being over 6 years old with ZERO problems, just runs flawlessly. Expensive but worth every cent. My Multiplus 2 is just waiting on a battery (mid December) and then it will be connected 😀

    ABSA sucks (and rocks at the same time), any suggestions for a better bank?

    I'm with FNB as well and the app is great. The only department that is useless in my opinion is homeloans, other than that, its great. The few times I had to go into the bank, the staff were helpful and their system worked correctly

    Waterproof Tools

    I use Q20 and Q8 to service and treat my pliers, side cutters and adjustable tools. Never have had any trouble with rust. Even the OLD rusty tools I got from my dad has been cleaned and treated and they are as good as new.

    Feeler: Bulk Lithium Battery Import (100Ah / 200Ah)

    Those are VERY good prices. I'd be interested in the 12V 100Ah.

    Fitting slightly larger tyres.

    Going from 55 profile to 60 profile is too much - you will be 3,4% over standard size. That is 0,4% too much according to some insurers. 235-55R17 vs 235-60R17 - Tire and Wheel Plus Sizing | Tire Size Calculator Also read this post on 4x4 community Suzuki New Grand Vitara 2008+ Repairs &...

    Local heatsinks

    I bought HUGE heat sinks from Semiconductor Solutions in Irene, Centurion a while back www.semiconduct.co.za. At the time they also flattened the top with their CNC for me. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    I tnihk this little machine is great value for money. It runs quiet, cuts straight and fulfills my needs. The table could maybe be a little sturdier. If I put a LOT of weight on it, it tends to bend slightly, The mounting points for the table could also have been better but once tightened it...

    Best Glue for Plastics - Speaker Grill 3D Printed Pins

    I like to use Pratley Eazy Bond. Pretty strong but the strongest glue is liquid superglue and baking soda. It becomes so hard you can file it down to size.

    Turntable design parameters

    Would it not be better to use magnetic bearings? Permanent suspension, no friction and you can have a heavy platter. The permanent magnets are placed at the centre keeping everything aligned while not influencing the cartridge and for extra care, we add a ferite layer on the bottom of the...
