I do hope he wasn’t under guard by those rather serious looking arachnoids . Glad you’re back too and hopefully on the mend.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,watch out for them spiders from Hampshire ;)
I was actually wondering if that was gonna get a mention along with the Brit attitude of make do and mend. That and the fact that most stuff you buy as replacements are tending to be made of Choccolatte or Mushmellows and sometimes mixed into an alloy sprinkled with Chinesium of the finest...
Well I was definitely not expecting that. I’m converted now to ‘ Air Cooled Vintage Works ‘ as a customer. Not used them as far as I’m aware but I’ll definitely look them up first when ever I need anything. All round though , we have a cast of stars, from the handling of the whole shebang. Mike...
I think you’re spot on there as you’re not the first to tell me this. Your silver goes with your grey and looks very In Keeping with the era.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,Ccccllassssyy lookin :cool:
I don’t even know what I got on mine, I’ll be down there later and have a little look. But jonnyvolks 73 and Sausage seem to have the key to ‘The Look’ by having black and silver matching with the black bumper with shiny bolts on the rear and black and white letters matching with the white...
I might remind you that most of my posts are meant to be factual and the fact that they usually end up as humour invoking is just a bit of a bonus. So ,,,,,while I’ve got your attention,, let me know what you personally think of those wheel covers I’ve bought and plonked on my van. I liked them...
We don’t mind a ‘lurker’ here at all. I was just up with a load of LateBay peeps in Lutterworth at their Techenders weekend. First day was great on the Friday drive up, but it all went a bit soggy after about midnight Saturday and didn’t let up until we were nearly back to Bristol at three or so...
So, a nice little test drive for my new ish refurbo alternator up to Lutterworth Leicestershire way and all tickety boo. Had a visit from the delivery peeps today, have a little look at these puppies.

So this is the colour my EH was when I got it but mine was no where near as good condition as this. If you can picture this in primer grey with primered wheels too and with a pair of foamed up surf bars on the roof. I luckily got a quite souped up 161 red motor as mine...
Spot on. I think the yellow one is also an Ozzie import with another SCUBY conversion. There’s two giveaways on most and one on others, I think it may depend on the State it was registered in when new. Some states insisted on having outside access to the gas bottle with an exterior opening gas...
It is ‘one of those’ jobs that we could all do a lot better the second time around. Like you say, it shouldn’t need another knuckle bashing stint :)
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,, but I could volunteer you as our expert :)
Adding to that just a little bit. Some of the conversion companies offered a collapsible or folding / rolling up type of bulkhead. Westphalia definitely did one and someone told me that Holdsworth did one too. The idea was a sturdy vinyl fabric bulkhead held up by press studs with a poly window...
Warm / hot water really does soften them up then just gently keeping them warmed with my hot air gun helped. T.C.P. Is about as good as you can get for helping those bad knuckles but if you’re a grrt big Jesse, you can use savlon cream. That’s what all the little girls in our family use...
Yup you do indeed get a free biscuit and an ice cold bottle of Stella if you come up to Techenders for it.
BUT,,,,,,,, what is the giveaway???
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,, there’s a clue in the picture. :)
Yes indeed. I live in the very very posh bit of Bristol. It’s so posh here that I asked for a bit more road and the local authorities built me a nice new ring road to play on. Sometimes known as Kingswood,,, the knife capitol of the U.K.
Ozziedog,,,,,,but Lutterworth for this weekend :)
