    "rubber" cab steps..

    Blimey,,, I think I understood about a half of what you’ve just told us but I definitely get the gist of the message. So that’s more of a ‘Why’ newer stuff ain’t got the muscle of the older stuff. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, Makes sense really :)

    "rubber" cab steps..

    Not sure why, but I’ve got an unusual feeling that the older reused ones will last forever and three weeks but the newer ones may also survive just by the fact that these old vans just don’t get the caneing that they received as working commercial machines back in the day, whereas now they are...

    "rubber" cab steps..

    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...

    Group buy- Delrin bush for shift rod

    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...

    Classic Number Plates

    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...

    Auto renewal!!?????

    Balls - I think my gearbox is acting up!

    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...
