Millie is going well and loving it Thumbs Up

A couple of days ago when i had loaded up ready for work, i noticed that the N/S/R tyre looked a bit flatter than normal, so when i got home i checked the tyre pressure and yes, the tyre had lost 10 psi, so pumped some more air in, then i noticed this in the tyre

So on the way to work the next morning, i called in to ATS as i'm passing their place and see if they could do it there and then, but no, they were booked solid, so i booked it in for today on the way home from work and this is what came out

I thought it was just a screw bolt, but these are worse, no wonder it went in so easy Sad

But all is good now and i'm a happy chappy Very Happy 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Thats a steel cladding screw with seal, often used on farm barn cladding. Rolling Eyes

Very annoying indeed, that may just be within repairability but it’s close. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

I knew it was repairable as i had a puncture on or very near the wall edge and they said new tyre can't fix it Rolling Eyes

Yes they are lethal things, but good for going through metal without drilling a hole first Thumbs Up 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

What a pain in the arse that is! You can get them fixed near the edge, but it will have to go away to be done. My local coach works sent my tire off. But it still was never the same, so it was used as a spare. But again it would just go down. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Annoying part is they often get these things towards the edge. That was just where I had a glass cut once with an old set but was actually closer to the edge.
Luckily it happened a week before I had a brand new set going on, piece luck and it was a slow puncture as well.

A lot of this stuff comes off the back of flat bed vans etc, I once had a scaffold bolt fly off one oncoming and missed me by about 2ft. Shocked
I remember seeing it fly by, and it was a flatbed transit style van with short scaffold holes on the back stuck up and it come off that. Rolling Eyes Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

I was in a similar position a couple of weeks ago. Mine turned out to be two nails in different places Big Cry luckily they could be repaired but it’s just a massive pain to sort as mine was completely flat so I had to do all the grunt work getting it off and re fitting Rolling with laughter Ray

Just make sure next time you have one Ray, make sure it's a screw bolt and not a nail or two Laughing

It is pot luck were they go in, this time i was lucky, last time it was a new tyre Rolling Eyes 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

So on Saturday morning i set about my two little changes to Millie's appearance, as we all know that powder coating is okay to the point that when it starts to flake off, a pic of Millie's rear Wink

So job 1 was to change the mud flap brackets as the powder coating was flaking off Rolling Eyes
i took them off, they came off all okay with no problems Very Happy i then went to my shed to change them over to these




Click image to enlarge



as the mudflaps were pot riveted on i had to drill them out and then put some nut and bolts to hold them on again, when the flap was off they had these plastic washers on



Click image to enlarge


so i used them again to separate the bolt head from the galvanise, both sides done

before fitting to Millie, a bit naked looking without the mudflaps




Click image to enlarge


both sides fitted

Job 2 was to change over the tail gate hinges, in the pic above you can see the new looking black ones, i got these so i could get the old ones shot blasted as with the mudflap hinges and then all galvanised




Click image to enlarge


With them fitted




Click image to enlarge


then a pic with both jobs done




Click image to enlarge


Both jobs went without any problems, so it does happen once in a while Laughing

I'm very pleased with the way it looks now Very Happy 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.
