Scrotes.

Had them in mine for 7 years now, still find them very comfy, even on long journeys. And not really showing any sign of wear, can't fault them! Bri

As a matter of interest, what did they change in your setup? You seemed to think it was leaning out at top end IIRC.

Couldn't see pic Bob- it wasn't Joe Coolens radio controlled pulse jet by any chance? bri

My lad works for autoglass and did a job for a guy near Aberdeen. Guy said he had a few cars including a RH2B, 'bet you've never heard of one of those lad...'- my lad enjoyed telling him that his dad had built one! Small world.

I want it to use to cut my grass, not be part of some medieval reinactment mularky. You'd only nick them and make a fire out of them anyway, I've seen you in action at stoneleigh...

If you are Wigan way any time soon, I'm pretty sure I have a set spare. And a spare timing light (i Iost one then found it after buying another, wife had been tidying up again...). Bri

Old post I know, but time for an update. Mick is a top man, the OKO has kept the tyres up for ages now, absolutely made up with the stuff. Saved me a load of hassle. Ta again, Bri

I hope you'll both be very happy together...

Glad to hear that at last! Bri

Thanks for replies. Not sure I'd like to use it for drinks if top was glued/loctited in TBH, that was first thing I thought of. If the hoodies don't have a solution looks like it it destined for box of bits that might come in handy one day! Cheers, Bri

Pete, I'm still up for it. Was supposed to be in Argentina most of the summer but job got postponed to next Feb. Even if a small number go, could still be good. Bri

I've got a water bottle that leaks, and as such is chuff all use. Any ideas how I might repair it? The brass 'ring' is quite loose in the alloy material of the bottle so water just leaks out through the gap. Any ideas gratefully received. ta, bri

Hi, I'm after an EDIS4 with connector/pigtail of cable for a DIY mappable ignition project. Thanks, Bri

Thanks folks, I quite like the look of those, I'll try to get some at Stoneleigh.

Thanks Ant (and everyone else, but esp. Ant). Any chance of a photo please?

I’m looking at changing my headlights, hopefully buying some at Stoneleigh. Any suggestions of good ones to go for? SVC have some oval Hellas that look a bit different, but I’ve never seen them on a 7. Quite fancy plastic shells, less to rust and reflect sun. Existing are bog standard RH 7” sealed beams, I’ve got better lights on my push bike! Cheers, Bri

If in doubt, do a lash up on the bench. I agree, with 2 wire sensor, I'm thinking you need magnets, but I've not seen a reed switch in that style before. I've used a single magnet on driveshaft for my cycle speedo and it works just fine. My proper speedo has a 3 wire inductive proximity switch picking up driveshaft flange bolts and that works fine too! HTH, Bri

I'll make an exception for delia, He needs all the space he can get for pots and pans. And a pod is too quirky to count as a true caravan.

Top Gear have got the right idea for caravans... Caravans and Hoods shouldn't be on same forum!

I got about a tenner weighing mine in. Nobody seems interested in them.

My vernier cam pulley was 20 odd quid off ebay. Rolling road man got 3 or 4 hp increase by adjusting it. Bri

Single nozzle it is then. I use so little washer fluid, MOT man advised last year that I replace liquid in bottle as it was becoming gloopy. It had been there since SVA 6 years earlier... Cheers, Bri

I need to relocate my washer nozzles after doing fixed scuttle mod (nearly complete). I have 2 nozzles at the moment, off an MGF IIRC, each having 2 jets (total of 4 jets). Would just 2 jets give enough fluid to satisfy windscreen washing requirement of MOT and keep screen clear? Just thinking it is easier/tidier to fit the one nozzle, as long as it does the job. TIA, Bri

The factory when I was an appentice had halon auto extinguishers in control room. Something like 30 seconds after fire alarm going off they would operate. I remember one day when fire alarm went off and everybody legged it out of the main door (down a narow passage). Unfortunately, one bloke was just on his way in, he was knocked to the ground by the opening door and 6 or 7 blokes trampled over him in their hurry to get out. Don't seem to have nearly as many funny things happening in work these days.
