I have a friend who works in a timber yard where they have a pressure vessel for treating the timber. I did once ask him about pressure treating some oak for me and he said it would be a waste of time! Something to do with density! Hardwood doesnt take in the chemical as deep as pine or other softwo...

That looks "So Cool" a "soft top pickup" !!!! Is it going to stay like that? or does it have to have the roof for strength?

Do you know where they are made then Jonathon? I keep hearing about Charlie wares factory in malasia? have you ever seen anything that was produced there? if so any good?

Great! definatley Hadrian then. Was tempted to go with them because my local motor factor deals with them and I get a good discount off him! I had heard so many horror stories of wings not lining up or having to be dramaticaly modified, holes not in right places etc etc. So thought I would ask and s...

or this? seemed to put 2 the same on my last post!!!<br><br>

Anything like these?<br><br><br><br>

Yeah thats what I thought but the small print says; excludes wings, interior trim, engines, gearboxes and a number of low margin items!

Rear wings (pattern) from Bullmotif fit great. I've fitted 3 so far and they have all been OK - Thanks PSL, good to know there aer some decent panels out there! Just out of interest, do you know who produces them? are they made specialy for BM or by that well know panel co. H*****n? I can get "...

Hi all, I have now reached the point where I need to decided, should I go for "new" rear wings or repair the ones I have. The ones I have are not to bad overall but the edge where they bolt to the car is almost non existant. One had been welded on to the car (in a totally wrong position!) ...

One of my friends runs a transport recrutment agency and operates 10 lorrys himself. He is always going on about the unfair regulations that foreign transport companies can use. Its a lawyers dream, so many loopholes that can be exploited! At the end of the day if we are a part of some "union&q...

If your firm is based in the uk then you have to follow the uk guidelines (i.e the law!) regarding employees. As the guidelines stand, anyone employed by a uk employer even part-time is entitled to a break after working a certain period of time. (i dont have the exact figures to hand) However the pr...

Yup thats the problem grandad, "our" laws state that an employee must be able to take a break after working for so many hrs. However if that company is from a different country they may have a different set of rules. Hence the problem! E.U membership may be well and good but until there is...

Well I have been trying to obtain some eyebolts for over 5mths now. I have tried most of the web based suppliers, most of the magazine advetisers and even ebay with no luck. kevin kindly e-mailed me a company who had them listed as in stock on there web page so I placed an order only to be told they...

I expressed an interest in the car when it was on ebay and got an email back from the seller saying he was "authorised"! to sell it for £5500. He also sent me an email detailing the work that had been done to it. £16500's worth! apparently!! and it still wasnt fit for the road!!! A lot of ...

I've been trying to buy a couple of eyebolts for my project for a few months now and cant seem to find anyone who has any in stock. Are these going the same way as the swivel pins? Anyone know of any suppliers that have them in stock?

Hi all, I'm wanting to fit inertia reel belts into my four door (front) and Im wondering where is the best place to mount them? I have a couple of Metro belts on there way to me so havent done any trial fitting as of yet. Im working on the understanding that the belts need to be vertical so the most...

a friend of mine used to suspend some sort of translucent material from the roof during the winter. I helped him put it up once, he used curtain wire attached to the roof trusses top and bottom and just threaded the material through it. looked quite snug and cosy once up and stopped a lot of heat lo...

Just noticed on ebay, they have "changed there policy on selling knives" Watchdog must still have some clout then!

Just out of interest Jonathon, how much would you charge? (just approx)

I saw the invoice! "Repairs to MGB bodyshell" = £......
No costings of Hrs - materials used etc! Even on my invoices they dont have an hourly rate.
