you'll get 10s on that

Original Revo locking caps! dems got to be nearly 30 years old!!!!!

Original South London look was 185/60 13 cause the 175/50 weren't available till the Pirelli P7F in 1984 which is when I bought my first set £80 +vat each if I remember (which I do !!) fitted them to my Revo split rims and put them on my 105e

Saw this at Crystal Palace last year...in a TVR

I'm with Posse on this ...Builder should have delayed. How about a good coating of strong PVA mix and then floor paint...after you have had the builder back to inspect his work. (he's the professional and he should have at least covered it and suggested that you leave it covered for at least 3~4 days at that time of year)

Plenty of these on the dreaded Bay. Beware that they cheaper ones have1/2" thick OSB for floors and roof and thats just not man enough But if you replace those with 3/4 " external ply you have a good item. Its normally the floors or roof that deteriorate rather than the walls. Resently bought (for a client) a 8x6 shed for £209 and upgraded floor and roof as above and would say it was as good as the £600 8x6 I bought for earlier client

In the Slyfield photo of your Mk1 Tina is that Mick Wright's Riley parked up next to it??

Quite a bit of machining which will surely outweigh the cost of the conversion wheelnuts.....what is the issue with using the converting wheelnuts??

Too long a list to write it all down but !st car Mk2 Consul 375 which cost £195 in 1979 2nd car Mk4 Zephyr V6 auto £200 in same year ( car was only seven years old at the time as well) about 90th car 1966 Anglia 105e

The classic Revo 5 spoke onl came in 6x14 and 7x14 plus 6x15 7,8,9 and 10x15 If you mean the RFX that did come in RWD offsets in 13" but are pretty dam rare..even in "back in the day" Sure you aren't refering to Compomotive MS? often confused with Revos

Well if your going to turbo the original lump why not start with these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lotus-Esprit-Turb ... 3f057e0d13 Either use one and sell one or use both...make your manifold and away you go GOOD LUCK (you may need it!!!!)

Consul is about 6" if not more shorter in the front wings. Straight 6 will nit fit...well it will but the front pulley is in the grill so you would need bulkhead mods or some weird rad install to the side???? Consul gearbox will bolt up to 6 but from memory you need to use the consul clutch and flywheel as the Zeph/Zody flywheel wont fit inside the bellhousing (I did this conversion some 30 years ago and got as far as the rad issue and gave up) No sure about tuning potential of 1703 but the hockey stick exhaust manifold must be able to approved on!! and in fairness in good order these engines are fantastic motorway cars. "Best" option is v6 essex but you will need Zodiac mk4 sump and pickup pipe and front timing cover. Auto box is easiest . Juat weld the redundant clutchpedal to the break or remove. 375 front discs are enough to stop the car with the engine swap. Rear axle is ok for a standard v6 even with spirited use and burnouts but you will need to convert to MK3 Zeph/Zody diff which bolts straight in and fits the Csul half shafts but gets rid of the weak u bolts that connect the prop on the original Consul. From memory the Zody auto diff was ideal. Original Cosul rad in good order is man enough. Good Luck With Project

Not so..FROM EXPERIANCE there is truth in the statement that painted wheelnut seatings can cause issue BUT they appear to have known that and therefore they should have addressed that issue when they did the work. I do agree that it appears that the wheelnuts on that wheel appear to have not been tightened correctly

Hi Having worked in the alloy wheel industry for nearly 25 years there is truth in what they stated re painted wheelnut seat areas BUT they took the wheels off so any deterioration would have been either noted and cleaned off (or should have been) or the paint /powdercoat would have come away with the nut. Either way they are the experts (!!!) and therefore they should have ensured that the wheels were safe to be remounted....afterall they have subsequently advised you that there can be a potentail danger so they were aware of the risk. Sounds too much like the wheelnuts were only run onto the threads and not torqued up. When the car was driven and brakes applied was there no vibration to warn the driver that something was amiss??

As above but I think the Compo ML will only go to ET6...but that should be good enough using a 175/50 tyre

The process is called broaching. A quick google provided this. Steelmans Broaches UK Limited 10 The Old Nurseries Ravenstone Coalville Leicestershire LE67 2LA Tel: +44 (0) 1530 830593 Fax: +44 (0) 1530 838958 email: info@steelmans.co.uk sales: sales@steelmans.co.uk I have had no dealings with these people so this is not a recommendation but they might be able to help or recommend Good luck...over the years I have had nothing but problems with broaching companys as alot of people that offer the service farm the work out as they don't have the actual machinery!!!!!!!!!

as the saying goes..."when in Rome do as the Romans do".........but "when in Britain do as you dam well please"

Not Revos...possibly BWA

Its a Kubelwagen originally a Type 62 but became a type 82. Round late 60's resurrected as a fun road vehicle and designated type 181,previously being a military vehicle. known as the a "thing" in the US a "trecker" here in the UK and a "safari" in Mexico

Engine and box are ford but runninggear isn't. Axle is a 4HA as far as I am aware possibly using a Jag diff Axle is not ford stud pattern either. Uses 4x4.5" stud pattern

"whos was the datsun 510 cant be many of them in the country." Sorry Danny ...its a B110 only 3 registered.....owned by my son Martin...retro transport whilst we finish his Cossy Anglia Van

The tried and tested methods are there for "new blood" to follow and as already said all the aggro should be covered by now BUT the scene needs to progress alongside technology and its you youngsters that can do that . If people didn't want to do things diffenert wed still be running arouns on stone wheels flinttone style...GO FOR IT

didn't Fairy (sic) make the Velox/Cresda estates

Basis of something good...just get rid of arched modern rims spoiler bonnet thing and paint one colour with steel rims and could be quiet a ride

Well the internal bore for the spigot ring should be 63.4mm. Fraid I can't help you with the external diameter....sorry

Got tugged back in the day in a totally stipped out v6 Mk2 Cortina. Back light wasn't working. Cop was real good about it ...said he'd help me fix it. "Thats handy" I said "as there is no spring to keep the boot lid up" A bit shocked he obliged. Whilst I changed the bulb his eyes wandered around the boot area.......then he realised he could see all the way through to the front of the car and was infact seeing the back of my bucket seats....." wheres all the interior gone?"......."OOOOOh thats all far to heavy ....less weight more speed" I replied. He chuckled and let me on my way.......quality.
