The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

Just to annoy you...my set of spare CV boots that have been marinating in silicone spray for a month. Apart from a bit of road dirt scuffing, perfect nick after 40 years

PS I've installed CCTV in case the Branksome Boyz visit in the middle of the night...

 

Everyone autographs their fuel tank, don't they?

 

It’s a joke isn’t it?! I’ve still got one original boot on that’s fine.

See? That one is different to mine, to.

 

Yours is an prototype bay tank.

 

We should swap fuel tanks.

Mine is a better match to your gearbox...and vice versa.

I’ll hold off a autographing it.

Black Tanks,Matters…

 

Pure class!

 

I saw Goldie in Lawn Lane chip shop, Hemel Hempstead. He came in after me but I can't remember what he ordered.

 

That's where I used to buy me chips! The Chinese chippy in Apsley was better, tho'

 

New cv joint boots on ready for the next 12 months before they fall apart.

Give 'em a squirt with silicone. Might make them last longer. Might.

 

Goldie Hawn in Lawn Lane chip shop, Hemel Hampstead, would’ve had my head turned.

Goldie Hawn used to go to Seafare. Always used to see her hanging around on the pavement. Saw Burt Reynolds in Halfords once.

 

Updated the tank.

 

Stripped the brakes down again, tried to undo the bolt on the hydraulic pipe and managed to round to not off as it’s so firmly in there…
Ordering the kit to replace these bits now
I will try buying the pipe and a flange tool to see if I can get a better fit than the premade ones I had before. I hope the cats are better quality than these crap ones now that seem like a mild steel, almost aluminium

Those unions are always going to rot or seize on. Get some kunifer pipe, one of the hand-held flaring tools and some long M10 x 1.0 unions. You’ll likely have the same problems in the future (the short pipes on the front calipers are another favourite).

 

Do you know the specs (sizes) for the pipe, union & flare tool? @snotty

 

I’ll take a pic when I get home.

Did all the pipes on my van, and the tool worked really well. All of the original unions will rust up eventually, so undoing them just turns the pipes into twirly pasta…
