Tripped over this last night, It was built by John Beardmore some years ago, there is a build thread on http://www.beardmorebros.co.uk/ the colour has changed, as have the wheels and the rear wheel arches, but the quality of the origional build will be excellent as always. just incase anyone is look...

Simplest method I know is position the rack roughly in the centre position, its easiest if the boots are not fitted because you can see that the rack is roughly centered, but if they are then push it all the way away from you (from under the arch) take a measurement the pull it all the way towards y...

I gave up using champion plugs many years ago as I kept getting poor results from them, I found they suffered from premature failure and often poor performance generally, where as NGK are generally fit and forget, I don't often use bosch plugs but have nothing against them, however Denso have given ...

Classic vw beetle doors mirrors fit well, yes really.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-VW-Beetle-Aircooled-T1-Door-Mirror-/203137494291 (this was just the first one I found) but they are available from lots of suppliers new around the world, They will easily bolt through the small triangle sect...

13" same as on the blue pickup with 14 holes in same as the blue pickup, and on a 4" stud pattern, it appears they have just had the 3 buttons added to each wheel for the hub caps.

often you will find that adaptors are machined with an undercut just under the head, often this will be down to the core size of the thread and looking at your picture the diameter where the PTFE tape is does look reduced. If this is the case then this is a weak point on the adaptor as you have unfo...

Sorry but I don't know what the wheels are from but expanding the rear wheel picture it shows as a 175 - 13" and looking at the dish on it I would think possibly the rims been widened to suit, or had the rims reversed. Regards stud patten, as we know Marina hubs came in 3 3/4" pcd and 4 1/...

For carpet off the roll you could talk to William Marston (Birmingham) or boyriven.
Or Google vehiicle upholstery suppliers.

But do remember that most suppliers will sell from cheap to expensive carpets and with upholstery and carpet you really do get what you pay for.

Doh lockdown should read kickdown, gotta love auto correct.....

From memory the long slotted lever and white nylon piece are for the lockdown function of your auto box.

Why not get your original tank welded?

Not a joke tanks can be welded safely, (IF YOU KNOW WAT YOUR DOING)
I don’t suggest you hit it with a mig welder unless it’s been emptied and de-fumed,
But I have welded several tanks over the years without any problems,

Just a thought

The products in question here are PU adhesive's "polyurothane" there are dozens of brands available although many are made by the same company but branded differently, over the years I've found that most are as good as each other regardless of brand if they are not being used in high stres...

Hi Fit the kick panel without the door edging / draught excluder fitted and the flap just loose, Once the panel is located and fitted correctly flap the flap around the door post edge and Mark it top and bottom a little short so you won't see the flap once the door edging is fitted, Mark a straight ...

In the good old days....... We would pitch 4 new stud holes in our original marina hubs to convert them from 3 3/4" pcd to 4" pcd or 4 1/4" pcd so if the esm hubs are cast exactly the same as the OE marina hubs it should be possible, All you need are marina appropriate studs (have a l...

I believe it's 1/8" BSP (British standard pipe) although I'm always open to be corrected,

Yes you are joining both circuits through the tell-tale bulb, using a one way diode in each feed will stop your problem, just remember to get the diodes the right way round...

I think youll find they were origionally 2BA, but if you need nuts and screws then you could use 5mm, easier to get hold of and virtually the same size, dont forget some form C washers (bigger outside diameter than std washers) if the holes are slotted as the screws may try to pull into the slots wi...

You could do worse than speak to one of these companies, Both sell vinyl by the meter, and will post goods out. Most vinyl is 56"wide so you can get a lot of parts from a meter piece, They supply just about everything you would need upholstery wise including sponge of varying thicknesses to go ...

The threads around the headlamp are 2ba, 2ba taps/dies are still available as are 2ba nuts/bolts/screws, forget the minor specialists have a look at fixing companies online, BUT...... 2ba is very close to M5 (2ba is slightly smaller) and although it's not for the purists you can tap them out to M5 a...

I have used jepsons and framptons over the years and happy with both,
