Tech Weekend- Kinglake, 17/18 Jan 2015

Post by gwagensteve »

Hi all,

Due to time constraints on "normal" tech days, I'm instituting a tech weekend. Come up Saturday, and stay for as long as you want - camp out the back, eat barbecued produce and consume beverages should you wish.

BYO ideas, topics, food, beverage and at least a sleeping bag and mattress should you wish to stay.

Only one guideline: Please don't expect to rock up expecting a productive task to be done. I don't want to bog everyone down with installing your gears/doing a RUF/putting in the suspension kit you "happened to have in the car" this isn't a work on your car weekend, it's a getting ideas and inspiration weekend.

Address will be in the members area or by PM for new/ prospective members

Cheers,

Steve.

Depending on weather conditions I should be in for one of the days, two might be a bit much healthwise.

Wiring tips, eg. Joining or splicing wires, creating earths, after market winch solenoid.
Perhaps a re-minder on winch and rope work for newbies, recovery points etc

I will be there, at least one day most likely the Saturday. I would like to learn a little about welding. Also I would like to undo my old transfer case and see what a stretched chain looks like and what other damage might have been done to it. Not a complete disassembly just a peek inside.
