Like drinking tea? Stretching Carb Diaphragm rubbers

BONLY1 · Post by **BONLY1** » Tue May 23, 2017 7:08 pm

Just had to share my latest (and long) carb rebuild chapter.
The diaphragm rubbers were deffo shrunk, but otherwise in fair shape.
Revitalised them with Autoglym Vinyl and rubber cleaner - really made them supple and they're not all that fragile as some lead us to believe.
Once lubed with Autoglym I stretched each rubber onto the opening of a tin for our tea bags for about 20 min's, gently teasing it further and further around the opening of the Williams specialist tea tin.
You can see in pic 3 how the rubber is too small, but pic 4 is about 20 min's later.
Gotta sell this one to Guy Martin

Get yourself one and enjoy a cuppa at the same time, it worked for me!

Do you hire your tea tin out for members?

It's full of decaffeinated for the missus, she's kill me if she knew

Just searched for 'WILLIAMSON TEA TIN' on Ebay, there's quiet a few available for sale quite cheaply.
Recommended as part of essential tool kit for Exup runners LOL and handy for storing small spares in too.

I've just been playing with a Honey jar from Lidl. I'll get my Autoglym tomorrow and give it a good sensual massage. That should do the trick.

I've rumaged around the kitchen and I've found this....

Bonly1. You have your posh Kenyan Tea. We've got Creme brule from Mark's & Sparks.

I've just given it a sensual massage and now it's relaxing in a candle lit room listening to Enya.
