  1. Right.... The 1500 I hope to pick up soon has a PWDA I was planning on just eliminating it... I figured the lack of braking was as good an indicator as anything... I doubt those caps work on tandem systems...? Or do they?
  2. Look at this video: There is a dookickie next to a thingamabob that does a watchmecallit... Might explain how the key and handle work together,.,,,
  3. Surely someplace like Spitfire Graveyard could help?
  4. Any aquarium tubing will work... I bought some with silicon in it so it doesn't go stiff (like the fish in tank did...)
  5. I have heard from a lot of people that fitting the trim first helps. I have no idea how that could work... reminds me of herding cats...
  6. Well there are people who LIKE Morris Dancing so to each his own. 🙂 I will likely swap column steering wheel and all... BTW: This also means I can put Euro bumpers on the car...
  7. Apologies if this is a silly question. I did try the search but the terms are too general for a good result.... As some of you know my (European) MKIV needs a new body and I found one in the form of a Californian 1500. We haven't decided which frame/chassis we will use but but I prefer the sleek, dainty MKIV steering column with the "bump your knee on it" ignition as opposed to the TR7 style plastic box on the 1500's column. (brunettes, blondes....) I know the rear axle is different on the 1500 but I don't see anything to suggest that I can't swap the steering columns over. Anything to watch out or? Thanks!
  8. On my car we scraped the paint off and found rust in the seam ever few inches and finally decided to ditch the whole body. My body specialist said you would have strip each and ever panel out to make sure there is nothing in there. The problem he explained is the rust had formed a "bubble" that you might not get to even with acid dipping. Hence,.... we are binning the body... See:
  9. Small update: Found an abandoned project car in Belgium. Californian car complete except for the interior. Probably the car that I should have bought in the first place as it has the gearbox, brake system and stronger doors that I wanted BUT I only found the seller through contacts that I got by buying the first car. Plan is to use the best/preferred parts from both cars. With any luck I will have it stripped and ready for rebuild in September (maybe sooner if the the weather holds up)...
  10. We don't have a FreeSat box... they won't send one outside the UK... Thanks I can see that!
  11. There is a product called Inox from Oz that is also lanolin based. It does wonders on electrical connections.
  12. I get Talking Pictures via a Sattelite. Sadly the EPG (Electronic ProGram) only shows the current show and the follow up and FreeSAT has made it difficult to find out what is coming with the apps available... So if anyone sees a show like this coming up please post here so I can program the receiver! Thanks!

    Decibel Meter

    I hear... but I don't listen...usually...
  14. I would reckon a good panel beater could get those back to snuff...

    Decibel Meter

    Without the noise you would have to listen to voices....
  16. Which is why I never worry about tomorrow coming to pass... as it already has in Oz!
  17. I would have to see a picture of the flasher. I am just translating what the German on the flasher says. (German... flasher... make your "wurst" jokes...)
  18. BTW: It says it must be mounted vertically with the connectors pointing down and to not throw it around (?!)
  19. We have those for our regular house doors to prevent damage to the wallpaper. The actually have a cushioning effect so probably better than solid rubber...
