I need a very long arm to wipe the inside of the windscreen

Ikea squeegee does the job - gives the extra reach needed...

Do the brakes really need an upgrade - they did come from a car twice the weight......

you can download one from here for free

Nothing really in Scotland....

SKCC ( Scottish Kit Car Club ) do organise going to quite a lot of going to shows and have a weekend run in July or August. ( Balado 'Steam in the Park' was good and well attended )

We ( well Jamie Turbo ) did try to organise a run to Applecross a couple of years back but the weather and people backing out at last minute scuppered the plan.

Might be better if we try and organise something with the North East lot and have a play in the Borders....

I tend to have a blat down the back roads to St Mary's Loch for a wee run out.

don't know how to get paint to stick to stainless steel ( but others on here will ) or lighten it by losing the steel?

is the pinto efi or carbs?

from Blairgowrie to Aberdeen on the motorways

didn't take the Ballater road then......

You will...................

Looks pretty good - I would sort out the dash though - engine??????

MOT Tester confirmed speedo not checked and is not a fail point.

The 2B passed again

Don't think you need a speedo at all for MOT

Have an MOT tomorrow so will check.....

Have to say I would consider going the wishbone conversion way. At your early build stage it is easier than building it then ripping it apart to do the conversion later.

put locost wings as a search in ebay - you will find plenty

M18 x 1,5

very swish

Premier Wiring or Vehicle Wiring Products have multi-connectors

is it this one ?

here's one linky

Seem to remember at the time they 'adjusted' it they said they would not reduce it when VAT went up again. What do you expect - tax grabbing b@st@rds...........

Come the revolution..............

Like any big company it is made up of alot of smaller companies

I do some work for RBS as an IT consultant

a few of the better known brands I have worked on are

Nat West

Churchill

Direct Line

Coutts

Green Flag

Citizens

ABN Ambro

Lombard

Tesco Finance

WorldPay

( + about 9 mortgage brands from memory )

etc etc etc

It is only the few that get rewarded and most of my fellow contractors have already been replaced by Indian centres in the last few months - it is really not a rosy looking future up here - so if a few investment bankers make RBS large amounts of profit to edge RBS nearer to profit and get a bonus then I am not too unhappy if it results in me keeping in employment.

I think RBS is the biggest employer in Scotland and the economy here would go down the tubes ( even more than now ) without it.

Yes I do think the scale of the rewards is all wrong - but look at football......

Ho Hum

At my SVA I revved the car to a shown 4200 revs and it was revving its nuts off.

Got the VOSA guy to put on their rev counter - mine was miles out......

OK - I can do Lothian and Borders

I had to put in a diode too.....

there are a couple of 'car trimmers and upholsterers' over in Loanhead - might be worth a visit.

I got one of them to sew some seams on my doors....

measure what lenghth of belt you need ( string? )

Halfords part nos reflect the length in mm.

mini / landrover setup is the easiest ( 3 wipers on mine )

Best to add some multi-pin connectors - makes the dash easy to remove

I'm over in Lasswade ( just South of Embra )

re: those wee gaps - I used roofers 'flashing tape' to seal.
