Hello I am currently working on a chassis of a GT6 having removed the engine. I wish to paint in the body colour - French Blue. So I thought the easiest way would be the band paint it. Does anyone know of a supplier of a suitable brush on paint in body colours? If not I would have result in attempting to mix paints. Thanks Graham

Thank you, you have answered my question as well. It that I tidying up the chassis and wanted to drop the wishbone, vertical link, etc without stripping the components down. Graham

According to Rimmer bros the surround is common to mk1,2 and 3 Spitfires. The mk4 and 1500 were different to those as it was fixed to the bulk head all one pressing. Graham

Danny, Excellent tool, what are the dimensions so I can copy. Cheers Graham

Just admit I have twin exhausts on GT 6 like the look and sound. However on long journeys very painful so would be interested in making them quieter. Is it a simple ebay search? Or do people have recommendations. Graham

Would be a very classy badge for the cars. Make them stand out, and the club. Graham

Would you expect to have such a large washer in conjunction with a spring washer? Suspect these have been included by a previous owner with them being black. What work have you been doing? Graham

Anyone in the Nottingham area with an engine crane that they could lend me? Suitable to lift a 6 cylinder engine. Graham

Just looked at EBay violin cases are quite cheap but come with violins. So may be you can play them at the tables and earn money🤣 Graham

Sorry Sue, I can't read minds so can't tell what you have in your mind. Graham

Very nice. Like the string around the box, you caterpillar after his tools. Nice to see old packaging which I can remember seeing in motor factors years ago. Graham

Called progress 😄

What fun you had, simple jobs can turn into a night mare. We all have days like that. At least you got the jobs done. Graham

Milk comes from bottles not cows. Why do farmers always put gates where there is mud? Graham

My god, give us a gearbox and we can strip it, rebuild in 2 seconds. Give us a survey and we are like headless chickens. Well that is one point for deriding members, another for chopping chicken heads, about for being a moderator and having a laugh. Just off to join John on the naughty boy step. Move over John. Graham😁

Just looked at the survey and noted question two is not a required question (no red astrick). Chris is this intended or just an over sight? I am not criticising the survey just providing feedback? Not completed but will. Did we not complete a similar survey a number of years ago? Be interesting to compare the out of these two surveys. Graham

A great lost to Great Britain, it is only when you have lost something that you realise how important they were. God rest her soul and thank you for your service. Graham A great mark of respect from the TSSC

Good luck to all and safe journey. Graham

One in Nottingham if some wishes to borrow it. Graham

Originally the vent had a rubber bung which was pushed into it to seal it, not sure if this had an air hole. However people have fitted a micro bore pipe end cap. Not sure how the tank then vented to allow air to replace petrol used. Graham

Watch Ethel and Ernest last night and spotted a Herald. Nice story. Thank you Raymond Briggs. Graham

Colin, is that the colour of grass. We have a straw field in Nottingham. Nice to be reminded. Graham

Very nice roads. Perfect day, things going well when working on the car, seems very rare now days. Just need to sort out the clutch slave cylinder on the GT6 to get it back on the road. Behind a load of DIY jobs since we moved last year.Graham Thanks for posting. Graham

My understanding those can act as a receipt, goes back to when people wrote cheques. Also lifetime guarantees are the lifetime of the person who brought it not the linked to the tools, so if you buy second hand tools that you know have a life time guarantee and the original receipt tech ideally you are not covered. Interestingly I had a long guarantee on a battery from Halford if failed and when I took it back had to accept another battery with a shorter guarantee, as they had stopped stocking the longer guarantee ones.Graham Graham

Roger, looked a wonderful trip and glad you both enjoyed it. You mentioned about running warm and I noticed the number plate was quite high blocking the radiator. May be worth moving down on your next trip. Your pictures are very enjoyable with your comments. Did you not do a similar trip a few years ago? Thank you for sharing. Graham
