Sump bung magnets

[Underground]

They work alright , this came off the bung mag on my lc4 ( not to mention what was caught in the filter)



And no , not the coin Padmei ... thats just there because its all my money and I dont want to let it out of my sight .

Try http://www.magnets.co.nz/ for all your magnet needs. Neodymium magnets are the most suitable for a sump plug, make sure to glue it into the plug with an araldite or similar type glue. Excess heat will also render the magnet useless [above 120 degree C]

They are neodymium magnets and I had to wait for the guy to get some in in the size I wanted.

Don't need to glue it. Means you can re-use them. A machining/lathe drill bit would be best (flat bottom) but you're putting the magnet into a bit of steel. It's dosn't come out easily. It would only walk if a bigger bit of steel went past and touched it pulling up vertically without stopping but then you'd have other problems...

Excess heat reduces the magnetic effect but as they're strong little buggers to start with it's not so much of a problem.

Yes, I'd like one of your magnets. How much would you like for one, and where should I send it?

Edit - how do I send you coffee? Starbucks vouchers or summat?

I'll be up there for a North Island Invasion sometime...

[NordieBoy]

Right. I think the easiest way is if I send 15 north, 15 south, keep 20 here for the locals and let you seagulls at them.

I've got to send TransAlper a CD of Big River clips so could send the magnets down to him in the same package?

Wellywood... Who lives there that want's a magnetic personality?

Sounds ok so long as the magnets don't dent the cd.
Otherwise either Ryan or I are pretty sure to be up there in the next 4 weeks.
Cheers

Yes they are strong, and they will lose their magnetism completely above a certain temperature, they are also brittle and prone to cracking/flaking without much provocation. Gluing them would give a little more confidence........

sweet, does sound like a good shed night project...I've only got regular flavour drill bits though. How did you do yours Fran?

Drill press.

They're actually (just measured them) 6.3x6.3mm cylinders.
