Yesterday's. .
Punnet sealing machine, several tonnes of pressure applied for 0.4 seconds to a heated tooling set seals your punnets of fruit. Now do that many thousands of times a day and this is what you get.
Around a 25mm thick bIllet of aluminium is the starting point and is expensive....around £1000 expensive and I need two of them

Odd how thin they've machined the inner lip?.

If you look at a punnet In section, it's sealing surface is right next to its vertical side, this leaves very little area for any substantial material, a design flaw driven by neccessity. The key to it is to produce a seal with the minimum possible pressure...unfortunately the operators often increase the pressure rather than adjusting the temperature or welding time.

I've been in the motorcycle trade 20 years now and thought I'd seen it all until today.
What goes though people's heads?, he'd fitted some later upside down forks etc and booked it in for rear brake sticking and MOT.
Needless to say I'll be sorting his throttle "issue" out as well as some other things..

Lol, I take it the cables would foul the plastics the right way round? "We won't worry about using the switchgear " and "I'm sure I'll get used to the throttle".

The future has already arrived.
Plumbing has moved on. I'm used to compression fittings which are ugly...never done much soldering which creates a need for hot works permits at work...always to be avoided if possible, so now we have this....
Compression fittings ...I suppose the term is swaged on using this...
Marvelous bit of kit. Cost in excess of £600 I think but it's a contractors dream...no soldering, quick and easy to use...even I did it.

Nothing at work since Tuesday because of this: http://www.britishdealernews.co.uk/general-news/kymco-importer-goes-under
My sincere apologies to anyone on here who has a Kymco. You are not going to be able to get parts until a new distributor is sorted out.

Real shame that Phil, hope you get another job sorted out in the trade soon mate.
I came on here to moan about this taking a day out of my life due to stupid design but seems a bit mute now I've read your post..

Dunna worry - I'm not any more.
What was the issue with that one? Looks like everything has been crammed in a bit.

12,000 mile service which includes valve clearances, ATC fault (had to replace rear wheel speed sensor) and fork leaking.
It's taken over 9 hours and I'm sick of the sight of it now!. Probably 20 plastic panels to take off, radiator out and had to drop rear subframe to remove rear cam cover.
Too complicated nowadays..
