For blokes in the trade.

Oscar...V...Navigator........your imput please.

Have used Oscar in my work place for years-monday morning its Navigator only.............Richo.

Thread was aimed at a few blokes that did post on here that worked in the spare parts trade.

Well after near 50 years-i took the parcel.

At the local paper mill and power stations-the workers leaving get a large package.

I took the small parcel and ran.

No more pain and suffering from the motoring public.

Could write a book on the dramas in the spare parts industry.

Shame the motoring threads are not used much these days...........................................Richo.

Hi Dave -never thought any one would reply.

Not much happens on the motoring threads any more.

Tell me about the weight and storeage room needed for old catalogues-

have heaps of PBR..Ryco from the very first single sided one in 1930s.

Payen gaskets-Repco eng parts

The oldest PBR is dated--cat 12 .1944--wartime issue.

-enjoying the retirement--moneys a bit hard--but the pensioners survive.

Take care fella...................................................Richo.

Making a guest appearance for a few weeks Richo. I had to use Navigator Pro today. Managed to navigate my way to the

headache/TFL (totally trucking l;ost) area with no problems at all.......... drilled down to somewhere under a septic tank I

believe.

They said " it's like riding a bike".... IMO it's like riding a bike across a tight rope stretched over the Grand Canyon ie only

Only idiots should consider attempting it

If I was a cat i reckon I would eventually master it but it will definitely not happen in this lifetime

I used Oscar a little..... way, way back but I don't remember the torture being so intense... The great spanner god shined

on me mercifully after lunch with an old style mission into paper, ink and staples

..... I have the idea one of us will not be seeing the week out... so has the boss

.... all the big hammers have been secreted to the other side of the workshop

..... more beeeeeeer please....

Hi Dave---first time ive looked in here for a while.

You might be better off on the spanners and stay away from the putas and paperwork.

Still visit the old work place (deposit ..stuff in the dumpster).lol.

--have a good look inside it first--never know what those blokes

throw out when im not there.

Was shown the new ..you beaut phone system thats been installed.

Would not have been able to drive that.

Retired over 6 months now--the hours are good ...but the pays lousey.

Sold at a couple of swap meets-for extra cash.

Take care.....................Richo.

Hi viewmont

I was looking for an RP2 to check the part number of the baldwin style 1" seal (like the P4212 but 1 inch)

Methinks from memory it is a P4243 but can't find my RP2 to check. A scan of the page would be great if possible.

Cheers Roger
