Stick with it Fred -hopefully there'll be a happy ending.
Neil, if you've got a standard distributor I'll love you forever. Maybe.
Think I'll go for reconditioning the starter we've got, then at least there's a fair chance it'll always start.
Andy if Neil has a starter it might be best to try it. as you been beating your with a hammer and arcing the terminal across. we don't know if there been any damage done to it. don't forget it has the solenoid on the bottom |

Isn't reconditioning supposed to fix the damage?
Yeah, PD's got a spare Rover motor at Loony's workshop but the solenoid's in a different position.

 It looked reet scruffy, lurking outside the test centre, especially when it emerged again in clouds of exhaust smoke, running on a handful of cylinders. Got some curious looks from guys in the other industrial units. The plan is for gloss black, with the website logos airbrushed on the doors in red & cream. Interior will be black "tuck n roll" upholstered doors, cab back & roof panels with a few red highlights to break it up & black carpet. Hoping to have a lot of the small detail parts nickel plated, (a more subtle, less shiney finish than chrome & more in keeping with it's age). I don't want a sooper dooper shiney blingy show car, cos I plan to use it all year round, as often as I can. So it'll be tidy & reasonably sensible -well, as sensible as a 3 1/2 litre roof chopped V8 on vintage crossplies can be anyway.  When your ready Andy. |

Plating? We'll definitely take you up on that. Mr Dslam nickel plates his own vintage bike parts in his shed. Somre people are just too clever for ..this forum.

KT6 7LN 0208 391 1004 I have used him before and he is a spot on guy there used to be a bloke in chessington, just along the road to World of Adventures place zoo, and he did a wicked re con on a Harley generator, turned out better than a new one from Harley. Was pretty cheap at the time too. As usual can`t remember his name or anything |

Seen several variations on that idea recently. A bit of an emerging trend maybe. Looks cool & definitely different. Would be great to use a British car back end, maybe something like a mark 2 Consul or mark 4 Zephyr, that have large boots, ("trunks").

Just received the failure sheet from VOSA. It runs to 4 pages of A4, but actually only concerns a few points.
Mainly the brakes, plus a handful of small items, like the tip of a self tapping screw from the floor panels resting against a brake pipe, handbrake cables cable-tied to moving suspension arms when they should be attached to fixed points, (we tied them up so they didn't flap loose), brake lines running too close to exhaust components which should have been shielded, loose wires under the passenger seat, (where the fuseboard is), that should've been strapped up, an exposed wire on a crimp-on terminal that could possibly short out against the body -that kind of stuff.
Taz has taken the sheets to work with her to scan so I can email copies to the crew, then we'll have a list to work to. As well as the points raised, I'd like to continue working through, tidying things up & improving, so that when we go back, they can see it's a work in progress & getting better all the time.
