Redcar Blast Furnace Reline – 2000
18:30I’ve been hanging onto these photos for over 15 years, I didn’t work directly on the reline project, but set up a database which held documents and photos for them.
Now that the database and the blast furnace are gone, hopefully there should be no issue with me sharing them.
Hope it brings back memories of happier times in the steel industry and would love to hear from anyone pictured.

I’ve always wondered why the guy at the end appears to be photoshopped in.
Replaced off side front indicator
3rd April 2016 17:18Well, this wasn’t planned for today but I had bought a replacement indicator because I knew it was coming.
What I had planned for today was taking a look at why the clicker and the dash indicator light weren’t working when signalling to turn right. After much digging around with a multimeter I worked through a couple of connectors that needed improving and ended up with the offside indicator in the wing.
It soon became apparent that the problems in this area would take longer to fix than replacing the unit. It looks like there was a creative repair in the past but the root of the problem stems from the design of the unit as a whole, it’s very exposed to corrosion and the wiring might be easy to fit when assembling the car at the factory but less so when coming to doing a repair.
The replacement is now fitted but I think I need to take a look at replacing the wiring for both wings at some point.
