  1. As the title suggests, I'm trying to find somewhere that will balance split rims - between us we have a WC51 and a Jeep, both of which develop steering wobble at 40-45mph.

     

    Need somewhere in the SE Kent area.

     

    Many thanks.

    There is a place behind Delting show ground, the Aerodome Trading Esate, not sure what they are called, I've taken the Daf their before.

  2. Just got back from having a final look over the 434, Mark kindly came along to give a informed opinion.

     

    We its a done deal, P13B will be arriving this coming Wednesday, Wayne offered the kitchen sink + taps :-D.

    FV432 arm axle support, difficult to tell with the rapping on, any clues, heres a part number 2530 99 865 6162. Box marked 9ACR.

  4. The rams will need looking at, I'd replace all the pipes anyway. Saw Mark today & his 432 today, lovely sound.

     

    Arranged with Wayne to view & fire up on Sunday, lets hope it sounds smooth.............................

    I bought a Zil 131 only to see Howards ad 2 weeks later, always wanted a wrecker. Some time later saw it was still for sale, paid the man & drove it home '130 miles'.

     

    I've been to a couple of events & will be taking it to Faversham at the end of the month if not sold, or to hand over to the new owner :cry:. This Saturday we're off up to the tyre fitters, rims off, tubes out & refit.

     

    I think like a lot of you, if I had more space she would be staying, I fancy a bit of a project, but nothing to major.

  8. When I transferred from cavalry to Pay Corps in 1982, I had to be able to type 15 wpm. This was effected by getting us into a classroom every Monday at 0800 to spend an hour being trained to touch-type by a very nice WRAC. I was first first to pass the typing test (achieving 17 wpm) but continued to attend the classes. After all, she was a lovely WRAC. Aah, memories.

    ..sorry couldn't help myself. :rofl:

  9. Went to see the 434 yeasterday, 242 miles in total, at least the rain had stopped when I arrived.

     

    Not to sure, from what I could see the mechanicals had not been touched for a long time.
