Looks like the timing cover will have to come off anyway, to straighten out the kink that has appeared in it :shock:
-
Is there a bolt up the inside of the dog for the starting handle by any chance :?:
-
Think I'm going to emigrate to Dorset, nothing like that happens around here. :cry:

Chances are it won't reproduce correctly, if you've got a scanner, scan it into photoshop or some other paint programe & it should give you the RGB values. 8)

Not sure, but from their website it doesn't look like it. You would have to ring them to check. http://www.dallasautoparts.com/paint.htm As I say i'm quite happy to get it matched for you, they would do it in gloss or matt whatever you want.
-
Personally I don't think their scanners are good enough, the last time I tried to get some paint matched in Homebase they got a completely different colour let alone shade. If you want to try them, make sure you get oil based paint. You would be better off going to a proper paint factor though they have better equipment. I don't mind if you want to send me a sample getting it matched by the firm I use & bringing it down.

Dallas had a shed load of paint last time I looked.
-
So pick which ever one takes your fancy You don't necessarily have to take the colour from the vehicle, I matched the paint for the jeep from a fire extinguisher I liked the look of.
-
Told you before, take a sample of the colour you like to your local automotive paint supplier & they will match it for you. C'mon, wake up at the back

I think I would go the oxy/acetylene route, just on the nut itself, you've got a lot of wheel rim to heat up before it starts to damage the tube. Really if you're changing the tyres you'd just as well fit new tubes while you're at it anyway. Failing that have you tried modern truck dealers for studs & nuts :?:

It was always bound to happen. Look after the jimmy, they'll be next.
-
I say steady on chaps! otherwise they will be too expensive by the time I am ready for one.
-
Not at all, I have replaced more condensors in my time for mis-firing problems than non starting ones.
-
Why do you have doubts about it being the condensor at fault? Always go for the simplest (& cheapest) things first!

Demon check out O/S explorer map 158 for Newbury there should be enough RUPPs & BOATs on there to keep you happy for a couple of days! I don't think you will find anything too challenging, although one or two get a bit interesting in the winter. If you do decide to come this way give me a shout.
-
I'd better come along as well, just for the laugh. I mean just in case you get stuck Just goes to show that not everything in life is green.
-
Jeeps should be kept dirty at all times, they just don't look right clean :!:
-
Hi Demon There are loads of byways around here, north Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire areas, ridgeway etc.The ridgway isn't that much fun these days as a lot of it has been surfaced & the walkers don't like you.
-
Just been sorting through some of my photos & thought I would post a few of one particularly nice day out back in the spring.
-
Have you a particular job in mind for one :?: :?: or is it just in case you might need it one day
-
Doesn't count anyway, no one watches it.
-
How did you manage to get up that early on a Sunday morning :?: :lol: :lol:
-
Why's that then Berni :?: We were only discussing the relative merits of various types of towing attachment :?

Occasionally had to use them in a previous life as a mechanic, they do what it says on the tin. Oxcy/acetylene is better for shifting stubborn nuts if you have it.
