  1. Hi Craig, this was my idea for my dashboard, may give you some ideas.
  2. Just passed its MOT yesterday so now comes with a full 12 months MOT. Also I've dropped the price to £5995
  3. Having a clear out and I have approximately 30 Kit Car related magazines dating back about 15 years that I am about to chuck out. Before I do is there anyone that would be interested in them, collect from Rainham Kent ME8 0EF. Hope so, seems a shame to dump them Cheers John
  4. If anyone is still looking for a 2B then mine is still for sale, posted August 2022 but dont know how to link to the add. Apologies if I have gate crashed this post
  5. Thanks for the replies, as I have already flushed out the system and bought the OAT from Halfords I will now confidentially fill up with the OAT. Had I not already bought the antifreeze I would have gone for the Prestone, so thanks for both suggestions.
  6. Some confusion on my behalf on which antifreeze to use. I am running a 1993 2litre silver top in my hood and went to halfords to buy some antifreeze. The booklet, and the sales guy suggested the OAT antifreeze but when I got home and did a check on line their search suggested Silicate. Have googled to try to understand the differences buy no clearer. My question is, is there any harm in putting in OAT instead of silicate or vice versa. Thanks
  7. I've finally made the brave, or stupid, decision, to sell my 2B. With so many things on the go at the moment the Hood is just not getting used, hence my decision to sell it. Built by me and it passed its IVA August 2015 Correctly registered on V5 as Robin Hood on 1st September 2015 MOT Until 14th August 2024 Powered by a 2 Litre Zetec silver top with a pair of Weber 45 DCOE carburettors Disc brakes all round Custom made exhaust system Shortened sump Lightened flywheel Paul Dunnell ECU Raceline Water rail Permanently Garaged 1 owner, me, based in Medway Kent. The car now has the registration number H475 DKH £5,750
  8. Took advice and it started no problems, booked an MOT for this afternoon, will let you know how it went, fingers crossed. May then put it up for sale.
  9. As the title says not started my hood for 3 years and now want to get it running again so I can sell it. I intend draining the fuel tank and putting in fresh petrol, do I need to strip down the 2 webers DCOE or any other suggestions before I try turning it over. It's a 2ltr silver top Any help or advice greatly received or if you are in the Medway area please call in.
  10. Thanks for all the suggestions. Checked but no air lock, was still puzzled as to why it has behaved for the last 1500 miles, then the suggestions to drill a hole in the thermostat made me think. Checked the original thermostat and I had drilled a hole in it but not in the new one which was still fitted. So I took it out drilled a hole and hey presto all working again as before. Many thanks for all your prompt and accurate advice. Happy now Thanks again John
  11. Had my 2B Plus SORN for the winter and beginning of April got it back on the road. First run it overheated, silly me didn't check the coolant level. Topped it up and again it overheated and boiled over. Thought it was the thermostat so put in a new one but still the same problem Also the fan is now not kicking in at 90 C as it was before but nearer 100C. The set up is a 1993 Ford Zetec Silvertop 2.0 l with a raceline water rail, thermostat at 88 C Fan at 90C. It has been running perfectly for the last 1500 miles so it is not as though I have plumbed it wrong. Any suggestions please. Thanks John

    Floor Strengh

    Regarding the strengthening of the floor, I did that on my 2B which then passed the IVA. I have a web site with pictures which you may find helpful, apologies for the messy web site but the host changed and I lost a lot of content. https://www.johnskitcar.com However if you look on the build tab and scroll down to seat belt mounts you will find pictures which may help. Good luck with the build Cheers John
