steve in stockport

hi col i started a thread in bodywork and fittings about vauxhall nova wipers as an alternative to the minis on 2/12/05 there are loads of dead novas in the scrappies and working out how to fit and then fitting these from scratch took about half a day the mounting in the pics looks a bit rough at the moment but will be sorting that out when the weather really impacts on the driving time if you want any more info just pm me steve

heres a couple of medium risk christmas cards that are available from our local card shop and check out these cheeky monkeys

he's nearly 42 and a cb blind date thingy used to be called an eyeball, you could spends hours talking to someone thinking she sounds ok only to arrange to meet them and find out she was a hippodogacrocorillapig with a sweet voice!!! not quite as bad as chat rooms where you spend hours chatting to tanya aged 21 model looks and goes like a train only to find out its really trevor(sorry if any trevors about just chose a name beginning with T) aged 52 who likes wearing ladies clothes and has a model train set. steve

only 2 so far and to make matters worse i'm working all over christmas christmas eve 9am til 6 pm christmas day 9am til 6 pm boxing day 6pm til 9am 27th 6pm til 9am off for 4 days then back in 9am til 6pm new years day not brilliant but the special days are double pay so not all bad steve

duncan now that would be really cheesy!! can anybody smell cheddar round here? and you said you wouldn't tell anybody - you lie like a politician steve

nice one duncan as you know i' ve booked same ferry out as you and back on the 10 30 ferry on monday 19/6/06 and reserved rooms for the journey there and back just got to get the time off work! steve

back in the good old days last time i used a cb radio - 1980/81 ish, they were all AM and you could talk to rubber ducks and pig pens and there were bears in the air. am thinking of getting one for the hood for le mans do i need to get an FM one and will it be ok in france any advice would be great ta steve

the rad cap with the return valve from your expansion bottle is either no. 201 or 202 from halfords, think its listed for a cortina or capri steve

just seen these on ebay link could be good as the weather gets colder, saves trying to find a heater to fit and plumb it in. nothin to do with me etc etc steve

can only agree jase, nirvana on the bontempi home organ is just wrong steve

latest magazine arrived this morning, excellent service thanks Sue and Tim, had a quick skim read, loads of good stuff will read properly later. filled in calender order, wrote the cheque,into the envelope and got it in the post in time to catch the 12.15 collection steve

merlin motorsport do fuel tank foam but dont think it was that cheap steve

unless your engine is in a high state of tune i wouldn't bother, unless of course you fancy paying over the odds for something cos it says high performance. motor factors are always good on prices rather than halfords, check yellow pages etc steve

heres an alternative to the mini wiper system from a mk 1 nova consists of wiper motor, two spindles and two connecting rods. just a case of making a bracket to mount the motor using one or more of the windscreen pillar bolts, in this case the rusty piece of angle iron - will finish shaping dressing and painting it over winter and cutting the connecting rods to size, found that by turning one half of the connecting rod from the motor over it all lines up nice and straight the motor and first connecting rod spindles and connecting rod the whole thing in position wiring is simple ignition live - black and purple on sierra to black and purple on nova wiper slow - green on sierra to yellow on nova wiper fast - red on sierra to white on nova motor park - brown and white on sierra to green on nova wiper if you use the nova wiper arms you need to loose a bit of the tension out of the springs as they are really strong little sods but a flat blade screwdriver pushed in the coils and twisted in a couple of places does the job steve

andy i guess you're looking for something like this got it from the classic car show at tatton park but cant remember name of the stall have found this companylink that seem to do the right stuff at reasonable prices, dont know if they have a minimum order policy though steve

irene dont know if you have one near you but was in COSTCO in oldham(branches all round the country) and they were selling a night vision moncular, bit pricey though, over £100 plus vat, and you need to be a member steve

not lying to the kids but whilst watching tv the other night the youngest son aged 10 asks out of the blue "whats an orgasm?" apparently his friend had told him if you sneeze 8 times you have an orgasm. most i've ever done is 5 on the trot! steve

kieran just exactly what were you searching for on ebay to find that ad. if you do a search for girlfriend it throws up ads for blokes selling dodgy pictures of their wives and girlfriends both ex and present - all in the best possible taste of course! steve

just put some nut covers over the spindles or wrap with self amalgamating tape so the examiner cant feel any edges and you'll be ok steve

just measured the plate and it extends approx 200mm inboard from chassis tube steve

jez the rubber catches salty shows are fine plus if you are lowering the plenum chamber you may find it just catches under the bonnet acting as a secondary device - mine does! dont worry just need to ease the bonnet side out about a quarter of an inch to clear when opening it steve

heres a link to ticket prices for 2006. looks like about £55 for admission ticket and between £50 and £80 to camp in the lay bys steve

try looking at this site link seems they are the self appointed specialists to doing le mans steve

doc try this link, dont think its the same bloke and does not say in the thread if he's sold any of it. may not be an lsd but will probably be a 3.9 just so its easier for the engine to get it going steve

Duncan its only £54 if you go for the 10 30 ferry on the way back but you have to be up and packed and ready to roll bloody early to get there for it. think i would rather pay the extra tenner for the later crossing and have a bit more time to get sorted. am thinking of doing the weds to the monday like you guys, will book the ferry and worry about getting the time off work later did you get the pics of horseshoe pass and the nova wipers ok? steve
