What Have You Bought Today?

[ginkster]

Yesterday, some very compact camping chairs from Decathlon (cheap Helinox-a-likes).

Today - a fire safety stick and a Cadac 2 Pro 3 cooker at the NEC show. Got a bargain on the Cadac as I bought the double discounted demo grill but when I got it home it was actually a box fresh, brand new, still wrapped one .

@Martinw. What insurance company?

JustKampers

 

[Bigsidavies]

A shiny new Pagid rear caliper from Halfords. Old one was seized and the rubber shredded when I did the discs and pads.
Another little job for tomorrow.

THQ Bumper Protector arrived today.

Just ordered a Just Kampers Door Storage Pod which should be delivered next Tuesday.

Sliding Door Storage Pod Conversion VW T5 - T6 - T6.1 Nearside (Left)

These exclusive storage panels are a quick way to get more storage space in the interior of your VW T5 or VW T6 , where space is always at a premium.Please note; These will not fit vans with the optional electric sliding door.

It was a toss up between that and the Kiravans version (which I think is the original) but comments on here swung it in favour of JK. I'll post a picture in 'What Have You Done' once it's installed.

I received an SMS this at 0825hrs this morning to say that it would be delivered by DX between 0800 and 1800hrs and about 5 minutes later it arrived. It was easy enough to fit with the supplied clips and the only real issue that I had was having to remove all of the insulation in the door so that only the sound proofing remains (which might not be a real issue but I guess time will tell).

I really want to get the front badge off and put a black one on, so:

I am always impressed by the usefulness of having a range of guitar plectra at my disposal!
Really useful little tools for these little trim jobs!

Can’t go wrong with this.

It very nearly came to that last time I tried!

 

[Ayjay]

@wayne. I can't beat that (I assume you're in the business) but I do always keep quite a few in a small tray in my office / studio (aka small spare bedroom). I don't play so much nowadays (due to deafness) but there's a few Dunlops in there along with Fenders in different gauges. The Fenders used to be my preference but, about 25 years ago I discovered V Picks which at the time you could only buy from the USA and they've been my favourite ever since. The only problem is that they tend to be a fair bit more expensive than the norm, especially the more 'specialised' ones, and I wouldn't dream using them for anything other than playing (then they last forever and over the years I reckon I've either lost or given away more than I've worn out!).

 

[Drive Wayne]

Still available, but £6 per pick? In 40 years I reckon I've sold 2! We haven't stocked them for years! They were £2 at the time when that was too much for a pick!
Still get them though!
Minimum order 100.... !
Partially hand made if I remember, some sort of posh acrylic glass?
Too posh for Brummies!

 

[Ayjay]

But worth every cent. I suspect what I've got now (in the centre compartment) will see me out.

After having a small 100mm off cut of this:

Fiamma Kit Rain Guard Van | Awning Drip stopper for VW T5, Vivaro, Trafic, Transit

from @Ed Webb , who cut it from a bigger off cut from @wavey66 whilst we were all at Busfest 2023,

Found - Fiamma Rain Guard Drip Stopper Offcut

I'm after an offcut of the following https://www.agentfiamma.co.uk/Fiamma-Kit-Rain-Guard-Van.html This item comes in a 300mm length and you end up chopping it to fit between the two brackets. If anyone has an offcut roughly 50cm or more I'd be happy to chuck you some cash to help soften the...

I now have bought my own big 3m long bit of the same stuff.

To be added to my list of:

What Have You Bought, But Not Yet Fitted or Used?

Well - I've had Buster now since early 2019. Bought as a LWB panel van and converted by the nice folk @AJCConversions immediately after. Before it landed back with the moomin family, we started buying "stuff". Some "stuff" we knew we needed, some "stuff" we thought we needed and other "stuff"...

To be installed when the weather gets better...

I can now throw away my pipe lagging noodle that I used to use to fill in the gap, which actually never worked that well to be honest.

 

[dcpen43]

having splashed out on the SPC 108 speakers last year I have just ordered the D84AT6 subwoofer and amp. So much for New Year resolutions not to buy anything else.

 

[t6blo]

Watched the price on these go up and down recently and now they’re at £39 with no mention of being on sale. They were £60.

 

[Green Giant]

A weeks worth of deliveries

 

[denz1968]

Alpine front speakers to replace the OEM set.
Bargain on eBay. £296 - 5% then a code to get a further 10%. Then cashed in my nectar points to get a further £60 off.
So £190 cash there or thereabouts. Nice

You are lucky that you managed to get them to take your money. I can’t get anyone to answer a phone to book a service, tried requesting online, called, left messages, no response whatsoever!
