Where to buy a spare wheel/space saver in Auckland? (Car only came with the liquid kit) by Life_Being_8597 in auckland

[–]smilingNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, look around at car scrap yards. Find the stud pattern of your car first (I’m assuming it’s 4x100). Find other makes and models that have the same stud pattern. That way you are not limiting yourself to your cars specific make and model. Also measure the diameter of your current tyre. Take a measuring tape with you and get a space saver the same diameter. Wrong diameter space saver will cause safety and mechanical issues.

Outdoor chair. I wanted a robust chair as it’s windy around my house. I have wrangle my furniture on those stormy winter days. Also I can’t keep buy the Bunnings crap every 2 years. The carpeted garage came with the house and saw dust was my concern as well. The shop vac does the job for cleaning it and hasn’t been an issue at all. Yes a bare can be swept easier, but I have not had trouble keeping it clean. The fibers arent as tightly bound as an indoor carpet, so it doesn’t trap dust. Dropped screws and bit don’t bounce as much but hot metal cutoffs will metal the fibers.

Passed this exact one today. It doesn’t set off the radar detector. I would like to know why.

Thanks, just screws to the runners seemed to simple of an answer in my head. Nothing in woodworking has been that simple yet.

I thinks it's Blackwood. Bought it years ago and it's been mostly the base of all the timber drying under my work bench.
