AFAIK, there is not a great deal in it. But I`ve only got the 12" wheel?. Pete

Yup!!. In all shapes and sizes, and Doc Martin Boots. Pete

I recently fitted a new Battery to the Sprinter, that was from Tanya, Varta Silver series. (100Ah) which would be too big for OUR cars but was a recomendation on a Motorhome site. C6 Varta Silver Dynamic Car Battery 12V 52Ah - Type 063 - 552 401 052. would be the eqivalent? Pete

One of the MOST frightening things I have done in recent times was to go to Bliss, village near Ironbridge, Far too much stuff allegedy "old and ancient" Is what I remember as a youngster!!. Pete

Used to say that about my Ducato Camper!. (Swopped out for a Sprinter). I had 4 Punto`s in quick sucession, all failed MOT needing welding to critical parts, except the last one. Some friends had a Lancia in the 70`s, even then it was like a lace curtain in parts. Mind, My son`s early Toyota Celica wasn`t much better either.😁 Pete

Pete. Sad to hear, One can only hope he gets good care now. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are two of the worst conditions of Ageing, I would argue even worse than a Cancer?, In my view. One of the saddest in recent times was a local lady, a friend of my wife, who, in her 80`s, had severe memory loss. Same lady had been one of the Bletchley Park Team, and a Mathematician. She worked with Allan Turing during WW2. No one local knew until about 15 years ago, not even her second husband. Pete

Worth having the "cloudy" Fuel tested?. Not the first time that water and or other fluids have found their way into filling station tanks. There was a Case up here in Yorkshire where "they" manged to fill a Petrol Storage Tank with diesel by mistake. Pete

It`s an "age" thing?. It "charted" the year I left school!🙄 "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Backseat" is a song written by Bob Hilliard and Lee Pockriss. It was recorded by Paul Evans 1959. Pete

"Fred", had the best deal. He had 7. And in the back seat!.😁 Pete

Have a look at this:- https://www.canleyclassics.com/?catalogue=triumph-herald-13/60&diagram=triumph-herald-13/60-body-side-panels It Is the same for the 12/50 and Vitesse and will give you an idea of how it went together originally. There is a Foam Pad under the fuel tank, around the drain, which is supposed to be a seal? too. If thats missing all the water thrown up will get into the boot too. Pete

Was Still an option on the later 1200`s too. Pete

Been caught that way myself. I now phone ahead and check it`s physically "on the premises" before I travel, even into Hull which is only 20 or so miles each way. They (Spit; Graveyard) did come back, and have some stock, but will only do "collect" on screens. (can`t blame them, its a costly risk with carriers). Worked it out it`s a 2 gallon trip in SWMBO`s Car, so around £12 in fuel. Fortunately her car is CAZ exempt, Sheffield`s new CAZ went on line Monday, but I think only for Comercials?.. Pete

Yes, I looked hard and long, I got my 3 year renewal back in June 2022. But we wanted the layout we have. After Having "Yanks" it was as near a compromise as we could to what we had got used to. When I hit 80 later this year, this may well have to change, as the insurance will likely become the next "ageist" issue. My last travel quote to go to the USA to our son`s was "eye watering" to say the least!. Pete

Porlock, was part of my Area, as was Lynton/Lynmouth, fortunately by the time I did it, 1980`s, I had a "Modern". If that is what you could call a Mk3 Escort. 😁 The Peugeot 303 diesel was the best on that one, as was the BX, the Later Astra (Automatic), was quite poor. Been up, and down, Sutton Bank quite a few times. Anything over about 30ft is going to have a hard time getting round the hairpin, especially if something equally as big is coming down. On the lorries, I was glad of the "jake" brake. The R-V (6.5Chevy) made a fist of it Ok, albeit slowly. Pete

I believe, there is a repair section that has a "tang" on the upper section which is bent over and welded on the inside of the main chassis?. Pete

Yes, With the best will in the world the steel structure sat in cold water, is never going to be easy to Insulate, The Son has a Big Multifuel stove in the main cabin, but the Webasto Oil Fired Heater stuggles to heat the rest of the Boat. Worse was last summer when we had 40C+ weather and the Cabin became virtually untenable at times. Pete

I have the "arrival" RAC cover via the CCC, now in the 20th year. This provides cover for Me for any vehicle I am in. It also still covers my Motorhome even though it is over 3,5t. Not now available to new members BTW. It is worth checking if yours is over 3.5t Pete

👍, For years I had a box full. Curtesy of a one time employer who went bust!. Then it went missing😭. Main suspect, as Usual, youngest son? denies it of course.!! Gone now as he`s no room for storing that stuff on a Barge. But He still has the Router!!. Pete

Issues with N-I? Allegedly Political/Brexit. Currently awaiting a reply to E-Mail from them, Ref; a Front Screen. Mine bust getting it out. So in the market for a replacement. Rimmer are £160 plus £45 shipping. (although I could easily collect for just cost of fuel). Pete

Co-incidently, I was contemplating the possibility of polished wood cappings. Might work?, All I have to do is retrieve the Router from my son`s Barge, somewhere on the Kennet and Avon!. Pete

Yup. On both counts. PAS already fitted. Servo still boxed waiting completion of paint. I wanted the car. But need the assistance. Even investigated the possibility of an Auto box, but decided that was probably to far?. Pete

Any in my scrap box will be! along with the square Head Whitworth nuts, All the lathe fittings are Whit/BSF, It was built in 1945. I still have a full set of Whitworth/BSF Taps and Dies, And a Screw thread jack with Acme Thread. Hate throwing good stuff away😁 Pete

I`d want to check the cable(s) size(s), A run of that length could see a fair voltage drop, if wrongly sized.? Pete

5/16" is only about 2thou smaller. Pete

I had a Ford Thames 5Cwt van with Seasoned Oak Rear Chassis sections?. Cut from a Trawl Door Board on a Bandsaw!. Traded it before the "10 year test" came up. Pete
