i removed a junky repro oil pressure pipe from a crossflow recently, and because the pipe had modern fittings, it had been supplied with specially made adaptors both ends to mate it to the original block and clocks, but in usual repro crap style, the dash had to be ground out to fit it cant beat the original parts

Guys we have one last space for a car at the NEC, does anyone have any interest in putting their car on the stand this year, this is the last chance before we advertise it elsewhere

unfortunately not, the mk2 van/estate door lock should use the same bigger key that the ignition uses

mk1, the later doors and boot are keyed the same using an FV key, an FT key is the same but shorter, whilst you can easily mess around with theese and re do them to suit one key, firstly youll probably need a good few spare locks to get the correct fingers, but they can also prove to be a tad sticky if the alloy casing is worn, as this wears along with the fingers, but its do able, ive done a good few sets, the ignition barrel, new column barrels with the correct 3 lions keys are available on e bay for under a hundred quid and well worth the money, there were 3 barrel manufacturers and not all put the key number on the barrell, working from memory now, look at the 0 position on the lock, and opposite it, is where youll drill your hole approximately 15mm in from the casing edge, a 1.5 to 2mm hole is enough, push in the hole with a small pick, to push the spring in, then the barrel should pull out, use a new barrel for precice dims rather than my old fading memory the door locks are not handed, however if you have mk2 van/estate locks in a mk1, they are a bigger diameter, so whilst you can file the hole to accept the mk2 lock, going back isnt so easy, as the hole is too big, some mk1s have been fitted with the mk2 van and estate doors and or skins during resto, and mk2 locks fitted, ive just finished off a car for someone that has this scenario, with this situation, a good locksmith can key the door locks to be the same as the ignition, but not the boot

There are 2 types of that shape bottle, one with filler hole in the centre, and one with at the end nearer the centre of the car, the one in the middle of the bottle is the later one and the one that motomobil have copied, the other is the rarer one of the two, they both have to be clean and leak free to get good money, clean meaning not yellow and off colour, they can hold water fine sat on the kitchen sink, till you put them on the bracket, when it then opens up the split, so test on the car, the water weight alone can split them, the splitting is common, hence why NOS ones now fetch strong money, ive seen a NOS one burst overnight with the weight of the thing full of water

unbelievable,

the size of the show, its tiny compared to november

tbh, we do the NEC every november, but went to the march one last year, and didnt consider it worth the diesel getting there, even after getting free entry tickets, its tiny compared to the november show, and we went round it in a few hours they should just amalgamate it into one show instead of two, everything in there is also at the november show

signed

ill take your word for it lol

i cant even take the smell of curry, stems from being very very ill on one when i was around 10 years old, now just the smell still makes me wanna throw up 50 years later

too much information Mark

Did it fit Mark

last time i enquired on a shell, he was excessively expensive, for rotten junk but ive bought from him on e bay recently at reasonable prices, but hes had some parts at silly money

Mark, theyre both quite happy sittig on 1976 michelin tyres that get moved enough, i do start them, so no worries there, looms all been overhauled, again no worries, water system is crystal clear, as had everything de rusted internally, i de ethanol even the best of fuel, no sludge or corrosion in there, never fails to start, in fact they start better than Nicks who drives his daily the purple car only knows standing all its life, still only done 6360 miles from new, and loves it
