    Winter Hoodies

    Normal solution --- buy a proper pair --- Hoodie solution --- wire in series with a 6volt lamp of same wattage(as gloves) --- plug into cigar socket=gloves working again AND light so people can see you waving in the dark.
  2. Andrew, I think you will get very few bidders, I bought my auto-dark helmet on E-bay for £27 + £6p+p.

    Winter Hoodies

    What voltage were the gloves --- could they be wired in series or parallel to a cigar lighter---cables down the sleeves of your coat like your Mum used to do when you was a nipper to stop you looseing them. Or wire to a cordless drill battery--lots more capacity there.

    Electric Hoods

    M K had a fully built "7" at Donington a couple of years ago;some tie up with a Dutch company I believe,but it was expensive & needed water cooling for the electronics!
  5. I chopped all the non-essential? bits off the Recaro (Sierra) runners (all rivets so grind--carefully) & fitted them to our Cobra seats ; difficult to fit cos' you can't see or get your puddies in the limited space---only made possible with stiff card template & ----patience, but saves £25+ per side & all the sparks are pretty.

    My Rant Today

    No matter where your shop is --- High Street or E-bay--- there are always "customers" who demand something for nothing & get right shirty (-r) if they don't get more than they are paying for---such is life.

    Dashboard

    Why didn't you buy from ETB direct -- they're in the kit mags from £199 per set -- but more if you want electronic speedo -- was GBS speedo electronic or mechanical?
  8. The pen is mightier than the sword-- so we're told -- but I bet your heart-felt missive wont make a jot of difference ; unfortunately.

    Supplied Handbrake

    That's why there's a long,long lectrical rod from the HAND-BRAKE
  10. Every-one down here in the beautiful South KNOWS it won't snow proper until Easter & the wind will be Gale Force 8 --- BBQ with frozen extremities & the tent blown away.
  11. That didn't work --not good 'nough for this lectric paper-work. Could you not park all your cars head-on to get them all in?
  12. THAN OU
  13. Don't tell porkies, your hand is going for the AUTO switch as the wheels come up---then AUTO off as wheels go down---ain't technology wonderful; the high quality training is for when it don't go --as above.
  14. Why does Ian's & cCarol's posts not fit my screen? Is their's twice as wide to accomodate the Wedding Cake;sorry Car??
  15. My wife & I shall be pleased to accept your most kind invitation to dine at the "Barleycorn" 7.30 for 8 -- silly dress & crackers optional,regards Bob & sylvia.

    Turkeys In!

    Go well Mate, will your daughter be working on the car -- or will boys -- interupt her? While the cat's away --- --- Don't worry you brought her up right -- she loves motors.

    YOur P.S. confirms my question & with a switch diagram which you posted many moons ago ALL should be revealed; your help is always wecome it's just that we (I) don't always remember it thus may-be testing your patience some-what. Regards Bob.

    It Has Wheels!

    NO; could of suggested drawing a vector diagram to calc. load imposed & cross-brace needed; but what's an old Vauxhall got to do with it --carry on working on the lorry o' lumber prob is best.
  19. The cat would not agree--probably.

    It Has Wheels!

    Visualise your chassis made with Meccano-- & the bolts not quite tight--now all the stresses in welded corners are converted to movement about the Meccano "bolt" --if it can move a lot it can collapse or at least fracture around the heat-affected zone (weld) there-fore square or trapezium = bad; triangle = good so make triangles in any space-frame which has to withstand variable high loads. P.S the above probably explaines why I can't get my planes to fly--over engineered.

    Will that make a difference Chris? Are not the switches electrically isolated from both + & -- until one or other are connected by wiring? It's the relays on the donor loom where the poz. or neg. prob would start & Dave aint got any of those (it's the salt air--plays havoc with your appendages)
  22. My thanks to you,ACE, & all the other posters (posties??) I am grateful for all your work on the legal/rules side. We (me) only want to spend our time playing with our cars (& making sure they are fit for purpose) not dealing with the reams of paper generated by Brussels & London. Please continue the fight so we can continue playing, regards Bob.

    Toe Rags

    When we were in business last; about 4 years ago; I seem to remember it was around £85 for a bottle of Smart Water which you could "paint on" your vunerable kit; any chance of more official info, Enforcer, may give us punters the tool to aid your anti-crime efforts-- don't forget the discount for RHOcar members!!

    Think Andy means relays, Dave + fuses would be good, put in one for high & one for dip-- there's a FOR SALE on here for the switches you require.

    Supplied Handbrake

    Used a standard door switch with a thin bracket -switch could then be pushed past off without being broken- an auto brake fluid test + handbrake ON warning has got to be best-- especially for old forgetful fools like me.
