    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    I'm not looking forward to it but I know can go into a robotic trance and plod through it without being tempted to paint it gold at least. What's the opposite of OCD? Swearing and cursing at every stage and scratching the paint probably - that'll be me.

    I wonder which in reality came first?
     
  4. The trick is to find that part of your brain that finds stuff interesting, and turn it off. Got to adjust my handbrake this afternoon, so I’ll go into robotic mode...

  6. Still don't want to attempt driving it with these pins holding my broken finger together so made do with sitting in it, in the garage, drinking beer and listening to some of the old tunes - VERY LOUD (as the neighbour's away on hols)! :D

    Got the vent neatly off my new Devon roof. Phew!
    Ready soon to put a Fiamma one in its place.
    Guess that means I have a Devon Vent and/or PopTop (tatty) to sell at some point.

    Dont be tempted to push the ends of the poprivets through if (it was pop riveted). As there is no way to get the little gits out from behind the stiffening ribs around the hole in the roof leading to the happy sound of little bits of metal sliding around every time you go round a corner...
    I ended up cutting extra holes just in front of the cross members and driving around with bags taped up to catch them, which fitted with my solar cable reroute .

    The ones that fell down each side were recovered by removing the two fore and aft stiffeners and tilting the roof each way..as I had to relocate them for my wider hatch..
     
  20. Cool. Thanks.
    I think all the rivets were visible from underneath. The side ones actually went through the stiffening ribs, but I have to put wooden battens in there for the new vent so I hope it’s all ok - end rivets of those ribs still in place.

    I’ll find out now when I put it on its side again to angle grind the curved corners to be square


    Ahhh just seen the gap between ribs at the corners. Perfect place for “little gits” to have slipped through. Now wish i’d kept count of them all. Hadn’t drilled right through most of them - hoovering as I work. Last 10 i pried out with pliers - reminiscent of my days as a cowboy removing bullets from the wounded (unless that was just a dream ).
