Everybody knows you should weld a nut on one end only, and groove the bolt head so they are adjustable.  ::) ::)

The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren’t a robot.

Its for the Rust Ants, helps them to climb, have a rest, them keep climbing before they get to the top. otherwise they'll just end up going around in circles.

 I did that on an FE Victor I was banger racing. The coils had lost all spring and were hard against each other. Could not get a jack under it even with a inflated  tyre. Lasted for four meetings. Cooked the engine in the end :o
