Someone here was apt to say that Tilley sacked their last engineer in 1956 and replaced him with an accountant. Probably not actually true but it...
Even if you had the missing pin (which I wouldn't think would be too difficult to reproduce and replace) the main problem would be finding a...
They're not uncommon over here, Anthony...
Last time I interfered with Ben Nevis (on the 27th May 2001) there was quite a bit of snow left on the top so we've still got three weeks to go to...
Which Facebook Tilley page is this, Darryl? Could you post a link, please... :)
Not to worry, Anthony - a quick dip in toilet cleaner will soon put paid to that and a few minutes at the polishing wheel will have it ready for...
Now there's a name I haven't heard for many, many years - maybe 10-12 at a guess... :-k
No, Lidl still get those Bialaddin guards masquerading as fruit bowls in stock maybe once or twice a year. They're part of one of their weekly...
Sometimes you just have to dismantle and re-assemble the NRV until it seats itself properly - including the pip which is the little blighter...

O-rings wouldn't be suitable for applications where they're not positively located...

I very much doubt it - those look like aftermarket parts cut from thick, soft rubber sheet using a blunt punch. I've made them myself just like...
I've got a PL53 fitted with a pressure release. It is also on the other side to the pump so it sounds like the same sort of tank as Darryl...
I don't know of Bernie Holmes, Tony - is he a member here? I'm pretty sure that Tilley have always supplied two gland washers in the SP1 and 498...
Yes, in engineering terms it's bad practice to use two washers in the same place (which is why I tend to use only one) but I guess in this...
Because I already knew what it said - or should have known and/or been able to work it out from the original photograph, after having looked at...
Agreed. Unfortunately, though, because of this and other fortuitous finds at car boot sales etc. there seems to be a growing opinion that £20-30...
No, I don't think they're any more brittle or easy to break than the later globe. Having said that, if I was going to light a T10, I'd probably...
Separate names with a comma.
