Re: CB aerial cable switch

I am wanting to run two aerials for my CB, one gutter mount and one on the B/Bar. Is there a switch that I can get or can I just use an ordinary DTDP switch?

Cheers.

Re: Can petrol go off due to heat?

I was wondering if petrol can go off due to high weather temp?

With 40+ degree days of late can petrol go off and lose it's energy content? I imagine sitting in a big container the petrol might vaporise a lot more???

I use heavy duty, single rubber Okey straps, two at each end, works a treat and very easy to remove.

I think I use the same straps your talking about to tie down my tool boxes. 3 bux ea from bunnings. They come in a few different sizes.
