Robert,

Whats the maximum pressure you can get out of your hand pump?

Is it capable of 150 PSI?

Hi all, had a disaster today, table clasped my engine was on. The two front legs bent and engine ended up upside down on floor! The whistle, reversing leaver, regulator and gear change leaver have bent. Chimney broke off, but undamaged. Chimney base is bent but hoping to straighten it. Going to set me back a few weeks now while I get repairs done. Engine seems to turn over ok, so that's one good thing. Engine now on floor, have to try and work out how to get off the floor and on to new table.

Charlie,

What a nightmare!

Hope you get it back up and running soon.
I know it a bit late now but I purchased a hydraulic table from eBay secondhand, so could move it about. I have found it a very useful but if kit.

Hope all goes well.

Thanks Phil.
I've just brought one off of Amazon, coming next week. Wish I brought one in the first place, but hindsight is a good thing!
