Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

The reason I asked Bernie was because if your bus has leaf springs (as well as air bags) then depending if the shackle end of the springs is to the front or rear, as the springs get depressed, the sway bar will move slightly forward or backwards. Over time this may result in the broken hanger.
There have been a few articles written regarding this. On a 1418 Benz they overcame this by installing a shortish hanger (pivoting both ends) on each side of the sway bar rather than an unmoveable mounting point.
Hell even the GREAT Collyn Rivers wrote about it!!! lol

how do you remove the sway bar if the bracket is welded 'closed' at one end?

When finished we need a pic of how they/it's hanging!!
There's a couple under Terry's spare MH.... mmmmmm
Bernie are those rigid or able to pivot on the torsion bar as well as closer to the place they bolt to? (both ends?)
The spare M/H is a Mazda 3500 Bruce, the Hino was in the workshop when it burnt down.
Those welded strap type hangers are usually replaced by the two half type when they fail, they all do eventually.

Margaret had a phone appointment this morning for Flinders Hospital, they asked for her to come in so they can see the wound ..... would we have had to turn around and come back from Horsham?

Slept for maybe an hr all up last night, just thinking about the NRMA B/S and the phone call, the last putting down of the phone from reading my book was just approaching 8am, Margaret woke me about 15 mins ago to say she had to go to Flinders and could I take Brian to his heart specialist appointment in Murray Bridge ..... so much for the phone call first thing in the morning :twisted:

Careful Dottie, he is known to sue for defamation ..... one of the antagonists from the Caravanner forum who had a questionable car to caravan charging system, felt the wrath of the legal eagles, but he went belly up before there was any money to be had .....

Bernie, your chimney doesn't look anything remotely like the roof
full of chimneys in London.
We were just at St Paul's Cathedral. I climbed all the way to the top. Can't believe how many chimneys you can see from up there.It was windy and raining while we where there. Photos don't do that place or the view from the top justice.
We're are in a different hotel now. No fridge, pissy little window. And the wi-fi isn't remarkable. Makes you realise how lucky we are, back in Aust.

Dot, some have a functional kitchenette with a microwave and a fridge. Others just have an electric jug, like this joint. The last one had a full cooktop and oven, even had a freezer. Some want/expect you to go to their own bar or Cafe. If you are on a tour, you don't get a choice, and usually you are only there a day or two.
