Here's something to think about Grog. As some of you know I'm into Vintage Japanese Machine, lately some guy's have been knocked back by inspectors for their roadworthy cert for having braided hoses unless they have are Australian Certified, one brand being HEL. My point is, how can you put on rubbish like that and be legal for road use. In Europe everything seems to require CE certification.

Brake stuff has to be certified here. If it were for clutch nobody cares. Of course a lot of stuff is made in China even by well known companies. Doesn't have to be shite. But for the price of those I would be suspicious. For proofing the concept of different cylinder size I think it is ok but I wouldn't use it long term or in a situation where my live depends on it. Cheapo levers have snapped in the past.

Just bought a Ryobi 36V mower and also an 18V leaf blower (like @Tony Nitrous has, thanks for the tip mate)  and a mini-vacuum cleaner.

Downside? Gotta mow the lawn now.

I thought I may have "accidentally" ordered 2 sets of socket adapters, apparently it was 3 sets. Never mind. Can't have too many tools !

Just bought some new led indicators ( made in the U.k. this time) as the cheap Chinese ones have fallen
apart at the mounting points. Got them held together with gaffa tape at the moment.
