Payco Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 You all need to watch Captain Phillips if you doubt a cargo shipped can be breached. Its a tremendous film too so worth a look. Payco Quote
BulletMagnet Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Thing is, I don't doubt it. Even a security team will be vastly outnumbered by a bunch of pirates with AK-47's with nothing to loose. But again, after watching some Hollywood films involving containerships and port one requires a massive fistful of salt. Quote

Wasso Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 Interesting BM - probably how my engine made it safely to the UK Okay just a brief update, the engine is now been booked for delivery to the Zed Shed where it will reside until June before any further movement towards an engine bay is even considered. My task between now and June is to polish as many parts on the engine which will are visible, to continue the ongoing trend in my life. Discussions with the Zed Shed owner and coordinator to begin stage 1 of the project and source the necessary parts and ensure ready for when the time comes. The list is going to be pretty intensive..... ECU Wiring Engine Mounts New Rad Potential larger Oil Cooler Potential gauges Diff Fabrication (Just for starters) The list will probably be 3 times longer once we get to grips with the task in hand. A big THANKS is in order before we proceed with this task, as I'm sure the Zed Shed crew and family will be involved with this project, even if it's to make a cup of coffee or eat said supply of goodies, drink copious amounts of booze and generally have a banter. So thank you to you guys in advance. I'll post delivery pics of the goods and polished items as they develop. 3 Quote

Humpy Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 You do realise Ian that engine will be in one of their Zeds before you know it Quote
BulletMagnet Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Bob will prolly have test driven it and re- crated it before you get there Quote
