Carb servicing kit for the Fazer 600.

I'm on a mission to cripple the Chinese economy one purchase at a time by boycotting anything from there.
So, I'm slightly f*cked off to discover that, despite my best endeavours, it turns out that the German company on Fleabay that I ordered from is in fact Chinese.

A set of braided brake hoses for the Trophy. I think I've probably spent around £600 less that it's actually worth getting it back to a roadworthy condition. Just as well it was free in the first place.

That's some garage.
In my dreams.... it is in my dreams for the house I am determined to build one day..... will probably stay in my dreams;(

ThenCardale 77 is a very nice product, well made and cleverly designed. Nice touches like the ability to connect additional internal and/or external lighting that comes on when the door is opened. Amazing how far garage doors have come in recent years. The roll up design is really compact, fits the opening on the inside of the garage so does away with the frame and all the other paraphernalia round the opening, a great way of gaining an additional six/eight inches of width on the opening, much needed on many garages built when cars were smaller!

Price for a single door, fully installed with remotes and alarm looks like it would normally come in at around £1400/£1600 ish which strikes me as pretty good value.

A bar of chocolate for the lovely lady who gave me my flu jab. I was her 42nd and it was only 11.15am.

A bottle of Advocaat (sic) - saw it and couldn't resist. Bring back the seventies, prawn vol au vents and cheese and pineapple on a stick stuck in half a grapefruit covered in foil.

And babycham.

Bev’s Mother’s buffets always consisted of Vol au vents stuffed with cold mushroom soup.

Just bought one off of eBay mate.. Meant for a cab, lorry van etc
I was lucky and bought a full kit off a mate who bought it for his RV and found one already fitted when e took delivery
Expect to pay about £85 for a full kit.. loads ad loads on fleabay
I will run it off a spare battery that is charged by a solar panel all the time.. You can run one off a power supply but they draw about 8 amps at start up. ( then only about .3amps while running )

Didn't know what one was so had a shufty to see it it would be suitable for my little garage.
So, from what I can make out, it burns diesel which heats a heatsink and air is blown across it, my question, if I'm right, what happens to the fumes?
