PaulQ Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Got my poor mans GT3 Cup steering wheel. Will need to get a shorter boss, or I might be able to modify my existing one, and will be machining up an offset spacer to raise the wheel by 15mm or so................... dished wheel by paul quick, on Flickr Edited December 16, 2017 by PaulQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT999 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Mine passed its MOT this morning, with no advisories The MOT man was quite complimentary in fact, expecially with how clean it was underneath - I spent quite a bit of time with the wheels off a couple of months back. Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulQ Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) @Jason986S Dish is 90mm. Yeah, its quite chunky, though the pic makes it look more so. Was going to fit it today, or at least make up the plate, but only just got out of bed ! Edited December 26, 2017 by PaulQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin is fabulous, I have what could be described as a jug of the stuff in front off me now. Wife has gone to bed after drinking my stash all afternoon and is feeling poorly. Silly sod. Ah well, peace and quiet watching the grand tour on Amazon. Doesn’t tend to get me royaly p1ssed or a hangover, wonderfull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billzeebub Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Wasn't happy with the dull yellow of the original spec sidelight bulbs, so when one failed last week I decided to fit LED sidelights. These match the light of the Litronics so much better. Always struggle with getting the light units back in though....took me nearly 2 hours all in!

JimC2407 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Major service and MOT at Eporsch with no issues or advisories. Great service again from Dean who also had a new petrol filler cap kicking around to swap over for my old one which had a broken strap. No particles evident in the oil or filter but sending a sample off to Oil Lab for analysis to get some base readings in order to monitor the condition of the engine as it ages (108k miles).

Rev Ken Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 MOT and service, but needed new brake pipes. The 'flexible' hoses had seized up solid, so it took some care to get them off without ending up with having to get a new caliper - or two. Four hours work, including the service all told, but well worthwhile. Oh and they changed the brake fluid, having lost quite a lot, without charging me for it. (It had only done 2,000 miles since last MOT, and if it had been an 'ordinary' car they would have advised me not to bother changing the Oil, but I like to be sure it has a good service record, and brake fluid, being hygroscopic, needs refreshing occasionally and I have no idea when it was last changed.)

allatsea Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Father Christmas very kindly left me a DA polisher (thanks Santa for using the link I sent you...), so yesterday (after post Christmas Amazon purchasing - clay bar, hex pads etcetcetc) had a go at cleaning it properly - my first time, well other than old fashioned by hand - I had never 'clayed' before. Cleaned, clayed, paint restoration stuff, polished and then waxed. Finished at about 1330 today, weather looked good, so took it out and admired all my good work in the mirrors on a circuitous route of A roads around Guildford.... Put it back in the garage, uncovered, until I can clean it again.... clean, drive, repeat...... Think this cleaning lark could get very expensive in 'products' (as if my 'tool buying' habit wasn't expensive enough......) AaS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
