Makes me glad I work from home @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset


Fortunately I do three days a week, and I’m only stupid enough to take the Westie in once a year 🤪🤣

Put a new fence up. 

Need to work out how to fill the gaps.

Sorry, to suggest, but some longer posts, and gravel boards at the bottom. with part of the gravel boards sunk out of sight.

The concrete will cope better with uk moisture, than wood at ground level 😉

Concrete posts have been in over 20 years, so I'm not changing them! And too much hard work to dig out for gravel boards. 

I have some wood to make some covers, but that's for tomorrow.

Robin, I’d look for some new/second hand composite decking planks - normally 1” think x 6” wide x 3.6 or 4.0 mtrs (sorry for mixing metric with imperial) then you should be able to cut them in half & cut angle to suit & make 4 angled packers per plank. Lift panels & fit. These won’t rot like wood & can be brought in colour match.

I've gone from 3x5 foot, 1x4 foot and 6x3 foot panels to 5x5, 2x4 and 3x3 panels, so have some gaps to fill. The concrete posts are well and truly fixed, so they are not coming out and gravel boards would need the drive digging up. Not doing that!

I'll come up with something.

Made a little surround for my Racebox Pro.  Unfortunately I had to make it out of two pieces of carbon as I didn’t have a big enough piece. Didn’t want it screen mounted as will block a lot of vision.

Broke out the big tools, for a small job, to prove to the Mrs that it would/does get used. New button side repeaters. I think they suit the car more than the plastic chrome domes that were their previous and fell off 

Need to make some better blocks to give ground clearance for the lift now

I like that idea @Chris Larner. I have a Racebox Pro too. Was it you I told about them on another thread a week or so ago? 

 

I mentioned it to someone and they bought one. Great bit of kit although I have yet to use it on track.

 

I wish I had the knowhow to mount mine in the dash like that.

I've seen low level ramps for cars that are super low to the ground for sale on eBay. Mainly for use to get onto traditional style portable metal ramps. I reckon they'd work of you didn't want the hassle of making some.
