    Finally fit the crank breather to the air filter. Test drove and the cab was noticeably less niffy and no oil spray in noisy cupboard.

  4. 23E5BF32-4945-490A-833E-B1B6C5F9CA2C.jpeg So... the clutch pedal isn’t meant to be there is it?
    It snapped on the way to my mums, with a van load of stuff and two dogs...!
    I rummaged around in the spares locker and found a new cable! Result!!
    No tools though.
    So, I laid on my back in a random street, and changed it with a toffee hammer and a weetabix. Well, nothing that good, to be fair.
    Got me home though...! I’ll adjust it properly and get a new bourdon tube....

    Gave him a wash and a quick wax polish on the very thin white roof paint. A ‘white bits’ respray is very much needed. Lots of surface rusty spots starting to show above the gutter line :(

    Go at it with sandpaper kurust and rattle can...
    Then you might not need to pay somebody to bury the rust zits...

    Although they may be horrors from below...

    Did you make your own tags or have you bought some in? If bought can I ask where from please? Ta.

    I may have to do this as a temporary measure, but the paint on top is seriously thin, I mean thiiiiiin, that it’s a job needing to be done properly sooner rather than later. It’s what credit cards are for ;)

    Thank you.
     
  12. If you cut it into 25mm length then leave a 10mm wide tag on one side it gives you room to just get a pop riveter onto the ends.. fix it down then 3.5mm drill hole to match the new rim. No8 screws are 4mm so bite into the aluminium nicely, if your lucky the bowl will have the raised bits where the tabs should go too.. I hadn't even noticed till I measured to where they should be!

  16. My Friday evening fun. I got one end of the axel undone before rain stopped play. The third hex bolt I faced up to, I thought ooh, it's loose already ...both my key and my socket just spun in the hex head, it's a good job I'm doing this properly, thought I. How wrong could I have been? Rounded off before I even got to it :mad:

    Took a bit of ingenuity, but it gave up in the end when I hammered an old bit into the hex head and got some torque on it. Phew!

  19. Excellent idea! Buy some time to save up :)

    Edit: anyone who comes to paint it, will probably curse you, mind.

    Nooooo! Everything in the entire cosmos will stick to my roof and I’ll look like a large, slow moving compost heap!!
