Came up with the blinding idea of making a ground anchor for a bike by using a bucket as a mould for a big lump of concrete with a suitable shaped lump of metal in it?
Because I've done just that, and its bloody brilliant! SV safe and secure now, the lump weighs almost as much as the bike! Matt |

Ford Capri steering colum, bent in a press (loadsa pressure) and welded to a big lump of metal, which was inturn welded to another big lump of metal that has a 90 degree bend to make a flat bit that makes it stand up in the bucket. Gonna need something noisy to cut through that... Matt |
