Well not a great deal of progress has been made since my last post as I am trying to locate fine pitch screws. I have changed my DOT5.1 to DOT4 on my travels. Managed to fasten the discs on and also my new headlight bracket. Have put the mudguard on too.

I have a bit more running around to do in the morning but I am hoping to get stuck in later…[Read more]

Finally this

And these

Our Larger brother asked me to show you these

That is very good to know Michael. Thank You. I knew about DOT3 and DOT4 but DOT5 is new to me.

WOW. That is a big shout Michael. I don’t know why you say that but I will go with what you say. I had not heard of DOT5.1 until 3 days ago. Great advice.

Thank You

With Thanks to Michael here is a picture of the camp with our area (up to 75) in the blue triangle. To those who went in 2006 it is the field where we had the camp fire

Right guys we’ve made some more progress. We are now in the process of arranging to book to go to Pont de Deulin which is where we had the 1st International meeting. We are going to hire a field at the campsite for our exclusive use. We can also have a bonfire there which is a must for our German brothers with their barbeque griddle . The 😀 .…[Read more]

YAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNN! Dougyt’s put on 2 stones, I am making plans for the 4th International meeting and Michael is making plans for his 60th birthday.

By the way Guys I used Halfrauds own Satin Gloss black paint. For some unknown reason this is resistant to Dot 4 brake fluid. However I have been told that DOT 5.1 fluid is safe with paint so as a double precaution I am going to try that.

Yes Michael I have thought about the sandpaper on the lettering. As you say it will look good but once the paint is broken it leaves the aluminium open to corrosion so I am not sure yet.

Good valid comments Michael about the plastic coated ones. I have been to a shop and bought off the shelf. They are not plastic coated as I have to order those (which I will) and I do not want to stop progress.

<<< Pulls up a chair. This is going to be fun

I will be fitting Goodridge (Hel) lines to both the brakes and the clutch with a ridged section on the clutch leading round the crankcase cover from the master cylinder

The caliper rubbers have cleaned up well are in good working order. I have got refurb kits for the master cylinders

And the master cylinders are too (hydraulic clutch conversion don’t forget)

Being between contracts I am using my time to do a full maintenance and refurb as needed.

Calipers are stripped and repainted

It was a great night mate. We shall have to do it again

Think the Porsche one for me too but the Hi 5 hand slap is good too lol

Hahahahaha

Love it
