Hi Tim,

I've found one of my old DVD's (copied from the VHS tape). It's a bit grainy, but it shows how to form the panel and may compliment Ken's photos.

If you PM me your address, i'll pop it in the post, or alternatively i'll be passing Duxford next Friday, we can meet outside the Museum.

Let me know either way.

Cheers

Al

Anyone got any pictures to upload please?

Bob has asked me to pout some words together for the magazine, but I don't have any pics.

If you have some pictures, could you post them so I can stick a couple in the article?

Many thanks

Al

Grandad appears to be missing a cuppa or G&T while supervising

In case anyone is planning a trip via the M20 this week-end, be advised part of it is being closed all week-end to remove the remaining part of the footbridge that was hit last week-end.

The closure is between junctions 2-4 in both directions, starting 8pm tomorrow (Friday).

The M26 is also closed for the duration.

Just a heads up

For some reason I can't insert the link........

Hi Al,

As already suggested, go for the best ones you can afford. I have the circular Hella rear LED's including fog & reverse mounted in 'pods', I am reliably informed that there is no problem seeing them in bright sunlight.

These are almost perpendicular to the road, (a minor deflection from the horizontal), but they have passed IVA & 2 MOT's with them.

There was a little fettling of the pods to get the angle right, but nothing that was too challenging.

As for vibration (which I don't think is an issue anyway), to counter this (and cover imperfections in the fettling, use thin rubber edge trim, it covers all sins!!

With the Superspec, I suspect you still have the original instrument cluster with integral indicator repeaters & are still running standard front & side indicators, so to simplify things you can get combined bulb/LED indicator relays from E-Bay for a few quid. Easier than fitting in line resistors as a straight swap of relays & job done!

If you want to go down the resistor route however, I've a pair of unused resistors you are welcome to FOC - drop me a pm if interested.

I'll post some pics of my rear end when I can find them.

Cheers

Al

Anyone qualifies for membership - it's more a state of mind.

For young Master Stanley, sign him up now - think of the education he'll receive!!

Thankfully we didn't see this pic before Bob & Mo's BBQ, otherwise they may have lost a wheelie bin or 2 for their Grandchildren's car!!

Apologies for the late wishes Chris, have a happy belated birthday young Sir.

Many, many thanks to Bob & Mo for yet another great fun week end.

To everyone, thanks for contributing to make this BBQ the success it was.

The weather was kind most of the time - which is always nice.

It was good to catch with up old faces and meet new.

Hope everyone got home safely.

Love the V8 sound.

Lovely looking build

Not as lucky as Lana!!!!!

Balls - Balls - Balls!!!!!

Have 15 tennis balls to bring along for you Bob.

See you all next Friday

Not bad video quality at all for £17

As all the above, but also consider using split convoluted hose to route the wiring in.

Gives protection to cable abrasion (you have to consider & prevent this for IVA).

Easier to get clips to suit the size.

Looks better (IMO) than a bare loom

Dan, for pump pre filter the cheapest option is the clear plastic ones with the 8mm bore.

I've used these with no problems. I have also fitted dry break petrol compliant connectors between the tank and filter - really makes it easy for changing the filter.

As Nigel said, 12mm inlet to the pump with an 8mm outlet.

Am using a Sytec 3 bar 270lph (ish) Bosch 044 type.

Will change to the Bosch at some pint as pump is getting a bit noisy

Oops, forgot to add, standard Ford Zetec injectors & regulator (on the injector rail return side), single throttle body & GBS inlet plenum

Ah, i'd forgotten the size of the hose!!

Think you're right Ken, but the Beeb will give it as much a chance as possible (spending loads of licence payers money) because it's a revenue generator - probably their best

Everything has an end point though

Followed by a glass of something slightly chilled and mildly alcoholic!

Sorry, just didn't like the new TG presenters

Will it improve??

It probably has one more series to get the spark back as well as the viewing figures

Simple solution to the warming up issue Al

How about a suitably sized bolt with a securing jubilee clip?

Cost zero as we've all got spare bolts etc in the garage.

+2 more from the seaside Ken

Nah, we'll all be tucked up in our beddybies by 9.30pm

Once we've finished our cocoa first mind.............

Do they need to be used balls Bob?

If new will be ok, then we'll 'donate' a dozen

Ah, have just the thing - will ensure it's suitably packaged!

As for the finger buffet Bob - just nothing served with it's head on!!!

See you next month

:drinks:

No problem for the late reply Bob, we know you both enjoy your time touring this lovely country.
