.... then the filling of the new battery with dilute sulphuric acid[1] hasn't quite gone according to the script. I presume gloves and goggles would be sensible. Then it's just a simple job of turning the Wing around and parking it in the garage nose-first so I can take the back end to bits. Should be fun, with no brakes. [1] 4 litres arrived at work today. I only need 1.5 litres for the battery.

Salad Dodger wrote Ho yuss, *very* sensible. Acid seems to be used a lot in the manufacture of explosives, although I am sure that is mostly nitric they are talking about.
I don't think so. Oddly, and rather unpleasantly, my guts have been in turmoil since last weekend. Rusty water type syndrome. Last night, I consumed sufficient beer to float a battleship, ate three large pasties from that stall by Liverpool St station[1], and this morning, I'm back to normal. Odd. Er. No. Herself has decreed that we're dieting from Monday 1st. [1] Very good they were, too. Variety of flavours. About two and a half quid each, which sounds a bit steep in the cold light of a sober dawn, but reasonable at closing time. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..73063../..16589.../..3180./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 IbB#4 '^'

Let me get this right. 1.5 litres would have cost you £6.80, but you bought 4 litres because they only cost £1 a bottle. So you now have 2.5 litres you don't want that cost you £3.20. Just checking, like.

Having fluxed and soldered the joint, you need to get the flux off (it being corrosive, you see), you do this by dunking the item (while still warm) in a dilute acid solution. This is known as "pickle". Then you rinse it in water.
