PPL(H). Nice, I wanted to do that about 20 years ago but after the first lesson I had to admit that £180 an hour was too much for me :cry: One day maybe

Hi, Nice chopper :naughty: :whistle:

Is it yours?

Glad it's back. Seems very tall and stretched out. Is it me or does it seem a bit laggy?

At the risk of sounding old, this reminds me of my first general haulage job in a Leyland Marathon. With the right load on you had to stand up to turn the wheel as well :-D.

My only real advice is you need to drive it more. Practice makes perfect ;-) :tup:

Anybody seen Seasick Steve ? He was on Jools' show on new years eve and I've just got round to posting it. Great sound from 3 strings

It gets a nice coating of dust at Beltring that makes it look even better. I had a mark in the wheel arch that looked like a scratch but a wipe over with a rag and white spirit cleaned it off. The only real marks on it are from the ropes rubbing but if I wanted to I could probably clean them off.

I use Mat1 from Tony Sudds.

Signed.

Here you go, Adobe links at the bottom for the letters/numbers in various sizes. Good site.

Not sure if there is a web site with a list but have a look here. There should be plenty of ideas of where to look there. If you do a search on that site you'll find plenty more posts about F marks. It would seem pretty much every part inside and out would have an F mark.

I knocked up a laminated jobby last year.

If nothing else comes off I could do some more.

If you have the logo you can send me, I'd be happy to order one and see what they're like.

There's a few on ebay that do it.

Try here, or here

Just buy a new one, I don't think they're made to be cleaned out.

I was thinking about stripping her off. :dunno:

the guage.

I was lucky enough to find a couple of hard to find bits.

I don't know if it works or not but I don't think I should unwrap it to find out.

Got a few other bits but these were the best.

Topper :pfrt: :-D

For the really clever grease monkeys out there why do we have left handed threaded U-bolts on opposing corners on the vehicle.

Thanks,

Paul

 

The reason for the left hand thread in those two spring eyes is for ease of installation. Look at the spring eye and you'll see it curls clockwise or anti clockwise. The shackle will screw in the opposite direction to the spring eye. If the shackle srewed in the same way the spring eye curled, friction would make it close up and make it extremely difficult/impossible to install. Turning the oppposite way makes the eye open slightly easing installation.

My my aren't I a clever bunny :banana:

I've not tried one yet but I think I'll get one, as I have the same problem as you.

These can become blocked or stuck. Either swap the nipple for one you know to be free or get This tool.

Hi, I'm even closer. Next town along.

Well done Cripp! now Clive will send you his very own old one:)

 

Please forward your address

 

His very own old poo? :shake: :tongue:

I might give that a miss. :-D

poo burner :shake:

I got my summer top, seat covers, hip pads and screen cover from Worthings. 2 years ago I got a full winter enclosure. I'm very happy with the quality and the service from there. I will say though that having looked at Allied's winter enclosure at Malvern it looks to be a better way that the doors attach and open. Just my opinion.

Very similar. black bakelite type material.
