What sort of wire... typical thin single core stuff for cars? Jonathan

So why don't we use Flexloc nuts? These things often don't have fully rational answers. When they're not critical it's probably a combination of the following: Because the factory don't. Because they aren't widely available. (Chicken and egg argument.) Because we/ they/ others use Nyloc nuts for other purposes. Because the cost of doing the comparison experiments isn't worth the knowledge gained or the consequent advantage. (See the waterless coolant thread.) Are they more expensive, even though the total cost is low?Jonathan PS: There are some interesting observations in the Chapman literature about how he thought about was critical, and innovated enormously in those areas, and what wasn't, and didn't bother in those, regardless of tradition. PPS: Small gains can, of course, be much more important in competitive sport and aerospace applications.

"S" key not working in the message box? ;-) Jonathan

No, but you can send a private note on the server: grey button under each post. Jonathan

Thanks. Jonathan

Which bulb do you use, MrP? Thanks. Jonathan

Happy to accommodate them in South Oxfordshire on the way. OX44 9DB, near the M40. Jonathan

Are these the sort where if you use an ordinary bolt for the runners to the floor you can wedge a screwdriver aginst the head to stop it turning when you tighten the nut? Others have suggested welding the bolt to the seat... and cutting a slot in the threaded end! Jonathan

I ordered a set from Polley Motorsport on Friday afternoon. Arrived today, Monday, at lunchtime. I think that's excellent. I've suggested they add an automated email acknowledgement of order to their workflow. Jonathan

Good point. I rarely use my iPhone to access the site and I could be mistaken in my attribution... Jonathan

I spent a lot of holidays as a child in Huddersfield and Mirfield. My uncle's family were dyers in Bradley. Long time since I've been there. Jonathan

I have this problem on iOS but not on OS X. What are you using, please? Jonathan

On iOS try resetting Safari... something like deleting cookies, caches, history in Settings. Jonathan

Thanks. IIRC there is a discussion in the archives of that problem with that model. Let us know if you can't find it. Jonathan

It did work properly and now it's stopped? Any recent work nearby or battery recently disconnected? Have you got the instructions for your particular model? If not please tell us which it is or add a photo of the fob. Do you get any response from the light and have you tried a new battery in the fob? Jonathan

Welcome. Where are you? Jonathan

Thanks. This doesn't feel like a high priority aginst the other problems for me at the moment. That doesn't mean it isn't a good idea. Jonthan

Quite a lot on this in the archives. Jonathan

Could you modify a coffee maker to do this? Jonathan

What would be the advantage? Thanks. Jonathan

Thanks. Please could as many people as possible try cutting and pasting plain text in the message box (not in one of the pop-up dialog boxes) and reporting whether it works or not, including the browser and OS.Jonathan

What doesn't work, GJT? Thanks. Jonathan

I can cut and paste plain text into and out of the forum message box. (Safari, OS X). What browser and OS, and is your problem there or somewhere else on the site? Thanks. Jonathan

Some are deliberately heavy (steel) to provide extra momentum to help shift quality. Does that have any effect in practice... the force comes through your arm and hand and they are a lot more massive than the difference between two knobs.Thanks. Jonathan

Any experiences, good or bad? Thanks. Jonathan
