  3. Cheers, so what's the score, bring beer meat and spanners? I'm guessing its just blokes so I don't have to bring a toothbrush?

    Are you really sure you want a load of beer/cider drinking wanna be grease monkeys for a weekend at your place. If the answer is yes, your a brave person.

    Well I've baked a cake and made the tea . . . Nobody's turned up yet, still it's only four o'clock.

    I'll make some more tea 'cos the last pots gone cold, and sit gazing wistfully out of the front room window.

    :(

    I am, at the moment I'm cutting off the nuts from the heat exchangers to the silencer. I'm going to see if the original heat exchangers are repairable and my silencer is an Earnst and has been on since we got the bus 6 years ago and is as solid as a rock. I will need to replace all the studs though as they haven't fared as well.

    A week to go from today folks,
    My list of to-do's as follows.
    Replace distributor for an electronic one - i'll need assistance on this as I know nothing about timing them really.
    Replace bottom arm with exchange one with new ball joint in - i'll need someone to just say hit that bit there to make sure i'm undoing the right bits.
    Replace spark plugs.

    I'm happy to help or assist anyone when i'm done, or if anyone wants to "pair up" etc we can help each other, if we can use my van as a teaching aid while doing any of the jobs then that's ok by me too.
    I have the Friday off work and am hoping to be there around midday, please say hello if you don't know me, looking forward to it.

  16. Still up for this although my list of jobs has grown & have yet to decide what to actually do but looking forward to the Zed master class :D


    Rick, I did the electronic set up a couple of weekends before the last techenders static timed and then finished the job properly with help from you guys but no way I'm an expert but it was straight forward and it shouldn't be anymore difficult on your ingin like you say it's the timing :) need to check mine again

    Hoping @Baysearcher remembers his gun as it was a very good bit of kit :)

    I've got Friday afternoon off but the kids will be at skool so will arrive late afternoon, can't wait to see everyone again & also meet a few more TLB'rs

  17. I cant get away Fri but am pretty sure I can get there early Sat morning. I've a few things to do/ think about:
    - Replace fuel filler neck, check all fuel pipes and replace if necessary - got the parts but will need lots of directing on this as have no clue where to start!
    - repair jacking points which appear to have become blocked with underseal/other stuff
    - learn about and do timing/points etc
    - talk about pop tops: I think I want to change my set up but want to see what you all think/have done/would recommend
    - several minor jobs that I havent got round to this Summer 'cos I've been using him lots!!

    Oh, and have a beer or two and meet lots of lovely TLBers !! :)
     
  18. Oh, also adjust my sliding door - again , gonna some directing here too
