What do you mean? African or European?

If I may interject . . . African double overhead manifold sprockets are usually imperial, whereaas most European variants are metric

If you insert a metric shaft into an imperial female sprocket apperture, it sometimes works, although failure can occur, particularly with the North African hybrid shafts. I have seen some serious car crashes on such occasion.


If you insert an Imperial male shaft into a metric or Antipidean hybrid sprocket there is usually some serious galling and chafing, often a screching sound can be heard whilst the mate is made. this sometimes goes away, but more often than not reappears with some equally dire consequences.

Its always best to double check with callibrated thread gauges before engaging in a good screw.

But it’s Australian and it’s still upside down, I just don’t know what to do about it.

If its threads are diamterically opposed then invert it. otherwise **** it. But make sure its fully concentric . . . an ecentric shafting is not good news, it can tear flanges and gussets clean off.

Uncle Tom,

I think my dog's broken. It keeps crapping on the carpet, right next to the little pile of newspaper I lay on the floor each night. Should I give up and throw it away?

Yours,
Dispairing of Devon.

Yes, yes you should. Laminate flooring would be far easier to clean.

I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

Charging for a free service?

Having trouble with your central heating? Boiler packed up? Electrical appliance not applying itself?

Post your technical mechanical queries here, for prompt invaluable advice
:thumbsup:

You will not be charged for this service.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to find some kind of ombudsman who will help me to sue you and take you for everything you've got.

And I will do it.

I have a clearly soothed mole that has taken up residence in my rarely-used kettle. I am wasting gas by boiling each cuppa's worth in a small pan, so my question to you is how do i dispose of this merry, blind, drownable wee mammal? And should i track down its to carry out similar actions?

Is that a gangsters mole like that in the George Raft movies. If so how in heavens name did you get her into an old kettle.

Dear Tom,

I'm in a bit of a legal wrangle at the moment with an immoral service provider. Could you point me in the direction of a free and impartial ombudsman?

You think Tom didnt know that already? Useful for the rest of us though. Good thread
