  1. Im 90% sure the return spring was there... unless its just worn.. Find it odd it does not return at all, well not very fast Never have liked pig brakes! grrr
  2. My master cylinder has been repair twice now, as it leaks at the end where the push rod goes in. It finally gave up the ghost and when the pedel was down it would not return! So alas i have replaced it, now it leaks from the filler at the top, where the header tank goes in, no big deal just needs cleaning and looking at. But my brake pedal still does not return? am i stupid and when this is bled will work fine? is it just air in the system? or does it sound like my hydrovac is shot? hmm, i like to ask before i carry on you see... any ideas? i hate drums systems!
  3. ill be at the last laughton show? i get confuzzled with laughton and ringmer? what sthe august one? ill be at that thanks for the support, i like this MV family thing... who pays the pocket money?
  4. Im convinced that Cliv you know everything! Im going to ask the BBC to put you on tele with your own show! "Live with Clive" or "at 5 with Clive" Just a general chat show... Or could be like fred dibnah series, with humbers

  9. next question for you!!! compressors! what size will i need for that? can ihire them? or buy one?
  10. ok, i need to know the logical solution with minmal effort I have tried paint stripper, 5 coats and it just work, so would be very messy and expencive so I am ruling this out. Heat gun, does not touch military paint grinder, works but messy and scores metal Sandblast, great but would cost me near the cost of the vehicle! what have you all done? I have a budget of about £200 And help of about 5 people? access to power, will be done outside what are your solutions pretty people? May sound dumb but i have never taken on such a large task!
  11. Hurray! for Jerry! BBQ paint looks the business!! Painted one coat, and looked shiney and nasty! i was upset! then alas dries to a super hard and mat finish!!! great stuff!!! ill post a pic when its dry!
  12. Ok i have a few and the finish varies, blue'ing, as i think its called. I want to rub one down and refinish it again, what would be the best thing to use? rather than black paint? Also, SLR stock (wood) what would the best varnish finish be for this? Help would be appreciated :-D
  13. Ill have to see if i can book the time off, As i work every other weekend and thats on my shift. But if i can i shall be hitching a ride with people, As the Pig is not ready to Roll as yet.. Will be nice to see you all again, like a big unusual famiily
