Havnt used ebay for a while. What ever happened to the "ask this buyer a question" section at the bottom of the ad where you could see what questions people were asking? Still, I reckon it`d be a good thing for everyone to ask the seller "questions". Might protect a potential first time kit buyer.

Talk about digging a hole!!!

The link above seems to say it all. Nigel, have you ever tried/is it possible to make a wind shield for the mic ?

Just seen this in a locost post. What do people think? Anyone know this car? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUTTON-Robin-Hood-2B..._trksid=p3286.c

Great day out. Couldnt stay too long though as Ive been promising SWIMBO help up the allotment. She reckons im never around when the suns out

Quite a long run for me ........ But it is a little bit tempting

The GBS conversion should include all you need. i.e carbs attached to the manifold, silicon hose joiners, jubilee clips, gasket, filter backing plate, throttle cable and even the manifold bolts. Its a common problem for the main jets to be drilled out too much ie 1.8mm, but sometimes (for reasons unbeknown to me this is ok on some pintos) Otherwise smaller jets would be required, anything from 1.3 to 1.65 are popular. Flea bay supply them or you can solder and re-drill. The other thing you would need is a fuel pump regulator like filter king that gives out 2-3 psi, but if you get a second hand bike one, that would be cheapest. Just make sure its for carbs. Andi

"im pretty sure they are available i just am probably looking in the wrong place." I was thinking this before, surely there must be an automotive version. Anyway Ian`s thing seems to do the trick. Where are they from?

Nice one, Great feeling as I remember

Could this be the same Ed http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=118514

Oh no!

Ok i have 85, 86, 30, 87 and 87a is in the middle. So I just forget about the 87a ? Thanks

Hi, The relays used in the image below are 4 pin and I have 5 pin ones. Will these work the same if I just omit the centre pin? Thanks Andi

Ive noticed the rear wheels have 2mm (if that) worn tread from the inside of the wheel to about the middle of the tyre on my 2B. In real simple terms what would I need to do to correct this? Thanks in advance Andi

The current engine should give you loads of smiles (if you havnt driven it yet) and terrify your passengers. BUT if you are like a lot of kit owners you will always want more power. Andi

Also there is a lot of talk of the car being the demonstrator. Does that mean that one of the factory guys was driving it . ie the woman was a prospective buyer?

This is out on a few forums and terribly sad. http://www.expressandstar.com/2009/07/23/w...n-horror-smash/ http://boardroom.wscc.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonbo...=1;t=74862;st=0 Makes you think a bit.

Long bungee cords are your friend Andi

Thanks to all who attended, Apologies for getting you all lost on the run out, I did take some photos, but now my phone seems to have stopped working (water ingress methinks). I do hope the Covs and Brums got back ok and lets hope next months weather is kinder to us as I reckon this could be a top meet and run out event. Andi

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what the relays 1,2 and 3 are for? No4 stops ignition so I suspect its the lumenition jobby. None of them seem to be connected to the lights or flashers as they all work fine without them. The problem is I am converting the RH candle lights and fitting 55w H4`s and I imagine these would require a relay or 2? Thanks Andi

I got these from Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=10060 While they are quite cheap they work well enough with bike helmets on, but not sure if they would be loud enough without helmets. I found that the option to turn off the wife`s intercom after taking a corner a little spritely a real sanity saver

Sorry to hear about that. Bad luck or what? Dont know what I would be annoyed at most, breaking the ankle or A+E not being able to plaster it until Monday... Hmm! maybe both. Depending on the severity of the break and your self repair system, you could be driving in half that time. Getting in and out of the car may be somewhat slower though. Was it left or right?

A nice little meet but Jeez! Did it rain? A special thanks to bike clobber All the way back, just touching the loud pedal coming out of the islands gave instant Tokyo Drift. Had a little problem when I got home though, when I turned off ignition the hazard switch was glowing red so I disconnected the battery. Gonna check it now and hopefully the problem has gone. Nice one Gaz and good to meet the Brummies. Andi
