Today my injured back is really bad, so i stayed out of the garage but did visited the tool/flea market and what i did not found there i continue shopping in part shops. First lot i bought was a set of 17" steel rims i got them very cheap the plan for them is spares for my daily driver, next thing i found was this very small 3 jaw chuck, beat up but still functions. Then i bought couple more towing couples and couple of round pipe rollers. Then i visited couple of parts store, bought a roll for hi temp solder, to fix the heater core if is leaking, also for the cooling system i bought couple of liters antifreeze concentrate, and lastly i bought two new sets of spark plug wires for the little Lada. Quick trip but got everything i needed to continue working on the little Niva, only loading and unloading those rims was a bit painful despite that good day.

Today's fleamarket finds, I struck gold or more to the point stainless, 316L Swedish Stainless welding rod. One full plastic container , 8# of 3/32 and one full container 3# of 1/16. He threw in a couple of full 5.5# boxes of Air Liquide Ultra-11 (6011) and 7014 as well. After Arctec, that my favourite brand. While the boxes are unopened, they look rough. I got this haul for $20 At another vender, a Proto 3/4" wrench for $2

That looks like an original Mechano set spanner to me and an Australian bic lighter

I thought Meccano sets came with square nuts? At least mine did -- but that was a while ago.

Possibly if it was a very very old mechano set im only 47 and think my first set at about 7 years of age was hex nuts
