Re: 12v USB power question?

Compressors take a lot of power ... probably best run direct from the battery. (I'm no fan of cig-lighter sockets - they seems to disconnect/fall out if you so much as look at them!). Phone charging, though, is low-power..... running a USB socket from the sidelight switched feed should be OK unless ...

Re: Barmouth

At present Cardiff Council is fairly ambivalent regarding bikes - in general bike parking is free, even in marked "streetside"parking-meter car bays ....... but, and it's a big but, the council has a "Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning & Transport " who's a fanatical cycle...

Mine arrived more or less open, too!

And why do people who need to lipread exempted from wearing masks?- surely the requirement for lip-readers is that the others, those speaking to them, don't have their faces covered ! These policy decisions are...

Re: Rizzato Califfo De Luxe

I suspect the B7 and B5 are pretty similar but with a slightly different heat range. My inclination is to try to get the engine running with what's there already... and get the correct, listed, plug at your leisure. Some equivalents listed here, although I guess yours is a 10mm thread variant, so yo...
