lego technic.

A Land Rover...

Meccano?

I've bought myself a Gears of War meccano (nerd alert...) but I don't think it'll be challenging enough. Perhaps I should build RC cars...

I came into the thread to say

A Land Rover...

But the I saw the £40 budget. Sorry, you'd need at least twice that. Maybe even three times.

Adult meccano?

Rexroth (mostly the aluminium profile struts) and the components that bolt to it.

And yeah, more than £40. But if you want to prototype a mars rover chassis...

Land Rover + 1

But you need at least £45.

I might be able to stretch to £45 for a Landy, any takers??

Hilti Strut

what you'd be wanting would be a land rover made out of technical lego.

Unistrut!

Become a gas engineer or fit gas meters the amount of fittings it takes to get some in.

Buy a load of Dexion shelving from ebay and put it up in your garage or shed. One way to cure your desire for adult meccano 😉

You can find boxes of Capsela on ebay

Good shout IA.

I use this stuff a lot at work and it can be used for all sorts of bike related stuff. Wheel truing jigs, free stands, wall mount stands....

http://www.kjnltd.co.uk/ Are good, they will even cut it for you if you do not have the facilities.

Well and truly Meccano for grown ups!

Why have I never thought of this? There might be a wheel jig in my future...

I've got a bin bag of rust and some welding rods- the kitcar version.

Mk1 Wheel jig (secures in vice). MK2 will be freestanding and have a mount for a DTI.
