When I was at college in Birmingham in the early 1970s a Safety Officer from "the BSA" came to do a talk on workshop safety and showed us a snap he'd taken several years before on a works tour looking out for dangerous practices. He'd seen a turner put his hand out to stop a lathe chuck and whipped up his camera to illustrate. The picture he showed us was of a man with his left hand in the air with a white string connected to the chuck...this was the tendon from his wedding ring finger.
Pass the sick bucket mother!
That's a very good point Duncan... and no gloves either, so that nasty oil will cause my dermatitis to flair up... I really should know better
I worked with a chap who'd jumped into a trench to check the gradient on the pipe laser, resting his left hand on the top of a steel trench sheet as he hopped in. Most of him made it into the trench but his wedding ring snagged on the sheet pile and... I also remember pitching a rear axle casing into a scrap metal skip and that becoming somehow attached to my wedding ring. Fortunately it had no great weight so I didn't succeed in degloving my finger. I will buy some barrier cream and leave my ring next to the pot when I put it on from now on.
As for brake lever swivel pin barrel nut thing, all sorted. Thank you all for your suggestions.
Your knowledge is encyclopaedic Ruariadh. It is the one from the brake cross shaft/ pedal rod adjuster. I took it out to show what I needed as I want another one to rig a handbrake for the Silverstone.
