Title: What's This Stuff??
Post by: Dan McEntee on July 20, 2019, 07:46:59 PM
    I'm going through some of my stuff trying to restore order in the universe here, and I came across some hardware from a company called Union 2000 Model Accessories, complete line of products for C/L models. It's all metal and a dark, copper sort of color. No part numbers or descriptions of any kind on it. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I did one quick google search and nothing came up.
   Type at you later,

Dan,
I have a set of what looks like engine mount rails from the same company.  Directions say to tap to 3mm.

The dark copper color sounds like alodine anti-corrosion finish on aluminum. I've seen some Soviet FAI FF hardware with that sort of finish. It's cheap and effective.  I may have the spelling wrong.   :P  Steve

PS: Got up at 5am, not to go fishing, but to go rent a cement mixer. This was my first and hopefully last experience with pouring concrete. Ugh! I'm pretty well knackered, as an Aussie would say. 24 x 60 lb sacks, OMG. But I came out exactly right, not too much, and not too little.  CLP**

"flat out like a lizard drinking" is an alternative :-)

I think Brett and his brother could share some of your experience with pouring concrete...

Heard that before, but don't quite understand it. What kind of lizard? What's 'e drinking, mate? Frosties? I preferred Castlemain's xxxx.  LL~ Steve
