Puncture preferences

Gday Peter and Margaret
Sorry about the puncture, but i just love your photos.

Love the Kangaroo jack Peter, when I do front & rear pipe work to eliminate all this plastic, I will certainly be making one of those to suit !!
Ta very much.

Fastest and easiest jack I have ever used by a factor of about 5X.
There were pivot points for it on each of the 4 corners.

Cheers,

Easy one there mate, just a little oversize pipe, gusseted in place, so simple !!

and then you'll hear that click click click as you drive the bitumen which will annoy the s--- out of ya.

Good morning
Damn expensive way to collect fire wood Mick.

By the end of the day I'd collected a few more as well! A great campfire had by all that night Muz although I was working damn late fixing the things!

Cheers

I used to repair pre stressed concrete pole making machines , i had so many flats from off cut wire, in the end i parked outside on the street and walked into the factory.

Yeah, Muz, wire offcuts can end up nearly anywhere.

Few years back, was driving a grader down the Diamantina, and had spent the previous afternoon widening a road across a gidgea creek. Arrived the next morning, keen to get going, and met with the sight of a flat front tyre. Courtesy of a Mick O type stake. :-(

Wasn't keen to spend an hour, or more, removing it and fitting the spare, so removed the stake and inserted a plug. Then another plug......and another.........and etc. Finished with an airtight seal with 5-6 plugs in the tyre.

As far as I know it's still going like that?

Oh, as for preferences, I'd be happy to spend the remainder of my life with few, if any, flats/punctures. :-)

Agree Muz, apart from the photos I posted below, EVERY other flat I've got on my travels has been entering or exiting a service station........

I got a screwdriver through one of mine about a K out of Wannaring ,

Picked up a sparkplug in a tyre whilst driving in the centre lane of the Monash Freeway

I got a fishing knife handle right inside the tyre on the Gateway Arterial in Brisbane. I don't know where the blade ended up but the handle dropped out when the tyre was taken off to repair. New tyre required, of course.

I was over in Kingston in SA a few years back and a tyre on the van delaminated. I picked up the Tread and took it and the shredded remains on the rim to a tyre service and asked the young fella who came out to look after me if he could patch it for me. I reckon it took him a few seconds to figure out that I was joking.

Notso, reckon they could patch this one??
