  1. 14th June. GBS cars and coffee. I will pop along depending on the weather. Always good for a catch up chat and a piece of cake! Dave

  3. Or grind the head off and push it out maybe!
  4. It looks like some kind of rivet. Can you get access to drill it out?
  5. Sadly, not able to make it to Newark after all. Too many things to get sorted before going on hols.
  6. I'm planning to be at Newark on the Saturday only this year. We're going away for a few days on Sunday. Hope to see lots of club members this year.
  7. I don't know the grade of the material but it is magnetic which means it is a ferritic stainless with a high ferrous content. It welds okay but is thin and very easy to burn through.
  8. Could be as simple as a bad earth.
  9. This Saturday 15th. Hope to be there if weather is good.
  10. Due to the various RH models, there isn't a one size fits all solution. You maybe better of making your own to suit your car. Regards Dave
  11. Re Nelmo's comment above on engine emissions for MOT purposes. You have the advantage of a Q plate which means the emissions test is a visual only. As long a it's not smoking excessively you will be ok.
  12. My mark 3a has inboard front suspension. I kept the original dampers but ditched the springs for 120 lbs one. Transformed the car totally. Better ride and handling. Can't remember where I got them or how much they were but well worth doing. Regards Dave

    No Air Filter

    Without an air filter you run the risk of dirt being sucked into the carb and the engine. If you can fit a filter somehow then you should. A simple foam type would do.
  14. I think my first move would be to get the radiator turned the right way round. If it doesn't fit the right way round then one that does would be a good move. They are designed to work with the elements vertically positioned.
  15. No matter which RH model (or any kit car) you have or prefer, it all depends on how well it's been put together. I have seen good and bad examples of most of the models over the years. Each individual car needs to be judged on its own merits.
