Mike

Nice on Al , as it all helps to fund more goodies .

Mike

well my father did have a fly press for doing louvres when he owned BRA think he still has it or may have lent it to his mate either way might be able to borrow it or at least the use there of will ask next time i speak to him, will let you know

matt

If you find it , it could well pay for your rising fuel bills and add another string to your bow for the future .

I knew where there was one a few years back in Louth , but lost contact with the person an Austin Seven restorer who i bought a house off , garage's full of those Austin goodies .

Mike

Cud unt mak ed noor tayl o it !!

It's a good laugh though

Mike

Hi Kev , Try contacting them direct http://www.spaxperformance.com/selector_html.php

GBS Aren't putting louvre's in their stainless bonnets at the minute (Not that they bother telling anyone).

 

Picked up my Zero kit to find this was the case because they had wasn't up to it anymore !

I wonder are they re-tooling at the moment due to the dies or press worn out .

There was a nice deep throated press on ebay ideal for doing louvers.

This is what we want http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134701

Pray for devine intervention !! maybe

Mike

A thread profile spring that is used to repair damaged threads by tapping out oversize and then inserting Helicoil to bring the tread back to nornal size .

Mike

If you have any classic car restorers near you , you may well be lucky enough to find one with a fly press louver die , but they are getting rather scarce these days .

Mike

A guy about 30 years or so ago did develop a prototype of a car converted to run on hydrogen extracted from water, but the oil companies bought out his patent to keep it under wraps.

I believe her was offered in excess of £1Billion

Si

I wonder if this was the same person who was featured on Tomorows World many moons ago , with a quote that this engine would run on anything from Peanut bitter to water by adding a tablet of some stuff he had invented ?

All referances to this engine seem to have disapeared , funny that ! gone the same way as the everlasting light bulb and the never laddering stocking .

Mike

Well done mate. I've just heard the weather forecast, it's going to rain everyday from now on

Good luck with the SVA

What ever happened to All this talk of Global Warming , Has Gordon Brown /Darling put a stop to that too !! As not taxable enough therefore not a good thing .

Mike

Its All Good when a plan comes together , so next stop SVA and then the big grins start eh

Best Of Luck with the SVA .

Mike

She's looking good Paul , Just in time for the Summer Smiles too .

Mike

This is the guy who started it recently i think

Mike

Mini wipers here plus heater standard mini one , there is a magic measurement for fitting the hood , measurement X from top of screen to the rear of the car which eludes for the moment but someone will come up with it nodoubt .

Check here Graham for your Model ID http://nw.rhocar.org/identification.htm

Maybe worth the club buying to sell on for spares to club members only. Club could actually make a profit from it and members would benefit with having spares available

Just my thoughts too as it could be a good asset for the club , just need a storage facility and a big truck , i might well know of someone with a big truck .

Mike

Hi & Welcome Graham ,

Anyone's welcome to try to pick my brains but never ever try to pick my pockets !! (as they are always empty )

Mike

OMG indeed , if i had the room i could go into business with that lot .

Mike

Gbs do the stainless hinges , Stainless press studs can be found on ebay . Tenax are very good to use on the side screen internal closing strap , self tappers on the screen frame but watch out when drilling . Self tappers can be used on the body as can poprivets or Stainless M3 button head screws that i used in the end .

Mike

Its good to tell the sun is out as everyone is learning to smile and for some an ear to ear grins too , Congrats and now to enjoy driving this summer.

Mike
