Looks the b******s silv. Nice work.

Commendations on your clean and tidy garage, makes mine look a right pig sty.

Nice job 

That looks really nice, It might be an idea later on to see if you could source a 90 degree adaptor to fit onto the pressure washer to try to take some of the tension off of the high pressure line.

 

I have been having a bash today at making a wooden wall mount for my C125 so that I can do a variation on your idea. I have sourced a 90 degree water inlet to get the washer quite close to the wall, just need to sort the high pressure side later in the week.

Yeah, I did think about that, it would also allow the pressure washer to rest closer to the wall, I did have a look online but couldn't see anything.

 

My issue would be that the 90 degree adaptor would need to have the regular Nilfisk fitment on both ends, the male on one and the female on the other as I don't really want to be going back to the shop to have the hoses properly crimped again.

 

Not sure if they exist?

If you take the shorter pipe off and bring it to me I can crimp a 90 onto it, they are just standard hydraulic fittings which we have at work, and a crimping machine

I work just around the corner from these guys, so it was a walk-in / over the counter deal.

 

Its a pretty big outfit though so I'm pretty sure they'll be able to ship out to you...

They're a Nilfisk agent too.

 

If you decide to get something similar I'd be happy to help where I can, I commute from York up here daily.

Thanks much appreciated.  I'll get in contacts with them and find out more. 

 

Thanks again.

Now that's the sort of offer you dont see everyday of the week.

 

Wish I had someone that local.

A very generous offer, thank you!

 

I have a few more tweaks to make so I'll see where I end up, I'm not sure I'm happy with the pressure washers location.

Thats a nice kitted out garage! Not so sure about the compressor being so high up on those shelves but i bet its stronger than it looks in the pictures...id be worried about parking a car in there overnight & that compressor shelf giving way...  

A car in a garage!? Those days are long gone

No problem at all,  you have a few months to decide anyway before they shut the gates to Eggborough Power Station for the last time

Eggborough too? Ferrybridge was bad enough. I heard Drax was on borrowed time too, sad times.

Yes, we stopped generating a few weeks ago, it has been my only job since I left school in 2005, will be sad to see it go.

 

Drax will be around for a while yet. They have subsidies in place which make it profitable shipping wood pellets from the US and burning those instead of coal.
