I used small washers that were about the same size as the rivet head and small enough to fit inside the popper body - run those down the pop rivet length and they act like an extension to the gun head (sorry, tricky to explain).

I just drilled very slowly and I did hit the glass a couple of times but it's tougher than you think (as long as it's modern, laminated stuff), so you should be fine.

Thanks for your suggestion I managed to find a small nut that did the same as your washer idea .  And I drilled it out very slowly aswell no broken screen so very happy

yes me too i used short pop rivets 

Did you manage to get hold of a riveter with a small enough end to fix the rivets in properly.  as mine I'm having to try and make something to push the rivets down tight so they don't spin and rattle 

Has anyone drilled into there windscreen frame for fitting pressstuds for a half roof not sure I I should drill it or not 

I won't be going its absolutely throwing it down here 

I will be there in my gbs if its not raining still waiting on my new half hood from softbits for sevens

few pictures from the wheels and wings this evening 

Update there’s also a meeting point of rothwell sports centre at 18.00 

Hi some members of wssc are having a ride out to wheels & wings if anyone is interested in joining us . 

If anyone wants to convoy there is a meeting point of just by the old golf range by the A1 Harrogate/ York Junction at 6 pm to arrive at the motorist at 6.30pm or we can meet there hope to see you there John 

Would anyone be interested in joining us for a ride out this Wednesday its something that's been posted on Westfield sports car club and I've asked are they are more than happy if anyone else wants to join more the merrier I joined them on Sunday for a  breakfast run out to oilcan cafe and it was really good been in convoy 

Evening I enjoyed a nice day out today with members of another forum that I'm a member of we met up had a bit of breakfast then went for a drive to oilcan cafe Holmfirth 7 or 8 cars and one motorbike in the convoy was a very enjoyable meet some even went on for a extended ride out after visiting the oilcan cafe I will be joining them again is this something that we should be doing as a forum of gbs zero  lovers getting out together and driving in groups rather than just sitting and talking about cars 

morning I attended locke Park classic car show on Sunday at first I went along in my gbs just to have a look round .. ended up showing my car someone with a Westfield talked me into it and I was surprised how much people liked it and  got me thinking do we as a group of robinhood gbs zero lovers ever arrange to attended any car shows classic or others as a club to see if we can get new members interested in joining g the forum or local area meets 

Update cars now running I had a bad new battery kicking out less than five volts on start up . On bright side I have a freshly reconditioned starter motor and selanoid  all my earth wires and other connections are nice and clean and now been to my local monthly meet up ... only 2 other members there hopefully there will  e a few more attending next  month 

If weather's good ill be there got car fixed fingers crossed just need to get another new battery as last new one was faulty

Possibly a dodgy solenoid although being part of the starter it should have been tested when the motor was reconditioned. My money would be on a loose lead to the starter or a poor engine earth

Thanks The solenoid was replaced same time as the recon and tested by auto generators ill be cleaning connections today and checking the earth aswell thanks 

Hi I'm new to the forum and my robinhood I'm having trouble with my robinhood 2ltr efi dohc I thought the battery was weak as it hasn't been used much in the last year and it was struggling to start without the booster so replaced it had the starter motor reconditioned and still my engine don't want to starter I'm getting just clicking or nothing at all any ideas 

Thanks John
