Is this within regs?

Is this within the regs? I can't get the thread of the gland through the box to get the banjo inside. I wanted to use the swa but if not will rely on one of the cores.

and posting images of that old tosh in here is just asking for it really....isn`t it..

Personally I think the question asked would be the same as a chippy on a forum asking how to "hang a door" not a specialized one at that lol

We spent years completing an apprenticeship and having our backsides kicked when we made mistakes. The important thing, however, was that there was someone who knew exactly how to do the job correctly watching over us to step in when we messed up.
Yes, it was done again, but still not to the standard which most of us would expect to see.

This is quite neat.

Who manufactures these boxes?
The look pretty neat. I use the swa piranha nuts.

I agree, that's how we learned and you made sure you didn't mess up again, that's why the apprenticeship system worked far better IMO than all this have a go and check it out on a forum lark FFS how on earth do some of these people dare call themselves sparks lol

Good to hear that, it means to me they are being taught correctly and will not be on a forum posing as a sparks asking the basics when the come out of their time.

im pretty sure you have and ive seen some very experienced sparks with gold jib who carried out work which was nothing short of a shocker.

i think it all depends if you take pride of the work you do.

Yep, and the basic question is, why would anyone even attempt to complete a task such as this without knowing and understanding the factors and consequences involved. At least he knew there was something wrong and some would have left it as it was, but there's no getting away from the fact that it is trial and error guess work.

I never have had much to do with SWA, but I have never seen a SWA gland like that before.

Is it somethiug new?
