The angled pipe fittings aren't standard.

I was going to come round today,but I saw that you were going to a Steam Rally at Ropley. Didn't come over in the week as everybody at Baychimp Towers has had some form of Vomiting sickness, I missed getting it myself,plenty of hand washing and and anti-bacterial hand gel was the order of the week.And as you were feeling under the weather anyway I didn't like to chance giving it to you. Knowing what they are like at your place you could do without having to take time off.

Nipped over to Odiham in Hampshire after work this afternoon to see young Archie. He works at Just Kampers & gave me a quick guided tour of their humungous warehouse as he sorted out a new master cylinder & fittings for me. Jolly nice chaps Best of all, I got free sweets with my order Thanks matey. |

You do know you won't actually talk like a kiddie while eating those? And no doubt you haven't a clue what I'm on about ?  |

Got absolutely no idea what you're talking about! TV ad?
I've been messing about with the windscreen surround for a while. There's a metal hoop that screws into the bodywork around the top of the glass, but because I haven't got a standard head liner, there was a big gap between it & the body. I picked up some soft rubber hose at a steam fair yesterday, so have glued that into the gap. A bugger if I ever have to change the screen, but looks much tidier. A fiddly job that needed doing before the upholstered roof panel goes back in.

Sprayed the switch panel on top of the gearbox tunnel with an aerosol of Halfords pick-up bed liner. It's a textured black finish that's a reasonable match to the vinyl upholstery. Fitted the switch plate back in place, though obviously it'll need to come out again for wiring. Nice to see a piece added for once, instead of constantly dismantling it!
These are American made push/pull switches bought from "Mr Dash" on Ebay. He makes up batches of switches to order with whatever functions you need, then fits them with matching knobs. Some are car switches, some are boat ones. I had Lucas toggle switches last time around, fitted to the dashboard behind the steering wheel, but modern Lucas switches are cheap plastic things & 2 fell apart in the first year of use. Hopefully these will be better & in a more useable position.

Aerosols!
I keep a couple of spray can lids in the garage cos they're handy for small amounts of paint or cleaning fluids or whatever. Had a bit of a tidy up this evening -I didn't realise how many I'd collected!
