Great gallery thread this 👍

No I’ve got a spray gun and compressor so bought the paint / hardener separately from Advanced Paints. I did have a can of cloud white from Paints4U, for touching up, think it was about £15, but I wasn’t impressed with it. Luckily I don’t mind flatting 🤣🍊🙈

🤣 I did exactly the same Mike 🙈

After a recent altercation with a high kerb at a service station Winnie’s 3 sections of front bumper are currently in my workshop ready to be refitted after completely stripping, knocking back to shape and respraying in cloud white. The rubber steps have been through the dishwasher (don’t tell...

I have the full ButtysBits linkage Inc the rod through the main chassis, thus removing all the slop in the system. I also replaced the spring where cable attaches to linkage. When my pedal bracket snapped (metal fatigue) I fitted this kit, which includes the under pedal spring...

I know nobody likes a show off, but mine just pushed in by hand and clicked. Hopefully others who haven’t done theirs yet will have the same result 👍 The previous white bushing had about 3mm play in it before I removed it so I was fairly positive the new one would click into place. Measured...

You’ve got to love American customer service, fair play 👍. Thanks @YellowBay69 and @mike202 for making all this happen.

Impeccable taste 👍 😉

Think I’ll evaluate what to do to make it fit once the front rod is sat in a vice in my workshop 👍

That’s a great story, looking forward to seeing their adventures 👍 I’ll probably have to pass Winnie down to my Grandson though as my son will be the same age as @mike202 should I reach your age 🤣👍

We have black with silver characters on ours, also Savannah Beige, they look great. Can’t remember where I bought them though 🙈

Certainly looks like it fits on the linked website. Perhaps just a very very very tight fit. The barb is wider but the grooved slots are longer. But how to fit without damaging it, although the properties of the material on the manufacturer’s website would suggest it can take extreme force.

I seem to remember, can’t remember where I bought the bush kit from (probably Schofields) that there was an option to buy an upgraded bush (the smaller black item here) to go inside the white bush, which I have. Probably should’ve had a look at what I had already 🤣🙈🤣

Thanks Mike, mine was waiting for me when we got back from holiday last night. I definitely think the wrong part has been sent. I found this other bush on my “parts not yet fitted shelf” and it’s clearly different in size as Steve has suggested. I’ll wait and see what the supplier comes back...

Great story and welcome 👍 Start a gallery thread and keep the updates coming.
