  1. And at the risk of starting a deluge I have a trade account with a motor factors that supply Gates products through my boatyard. (resists the temptation of a shameless plug for sailing holidays!)

    I will get some prices this week to compare to the Burtons standard to see if it would be worth the effort.

  2. Information should all be here - these are right for my silver top 1800.

    I have used Gates and Burtons at different times and can recommend both (noting that Burtons are quoting the Gates product anyway!!)

    I have some of the parts here I think if struggling!?!

  3. I have a red nose cone, bonnet and rear wings that are for sale left over from a rebuild that has just been completed. 

    Nose cone is pretty good - badge has been removed and left 2 fixing holes.

    Bonnet is good with one chip that I can see and slight marking where sidescreen has rubbed when open.

    Rear wings are not great - a few chips and marks and gel coat badly crazed below rear light position - probably good for a racer!

    All going on ebay on Thursday if no one on here wants them.

    I am based in Norfolk, but regularly travel to Milton Keynes, Northampton, Stratford upon Avon. Also due to go to North Yorkshire later this month.

  4. On my twin weber set up I have a weber twin cable linkage with twin cables. At the pedal end there is a block (see here) which is attached to the pedal by a small bracket that slides over the pedal shaft and holds the above in a vertical plane. 

    Anyone any idea where this might have come from? Trying to replicate the same on the one I am building to got o New Zealand and this is one of the remaining tasks.

    Thanks!

  5. Available in exchange for a donation to NtL.

    1996 to 1999 in Club Binders.

    Located in Norfolk but could be got to Midlands (Cov, L.Spa Stratford area or Reditch), South Yorkshire (Barnsley/Penistone), Northampton or even Aberdeen!

    Give me a shout if interested!!

  6. The issue here seems to be specific BMW design electrics or overlay electrics. Scotchlocks are an irrelevance in that respect as they are just one way of achieving an overlay - it could equally be achieved through high quality soldered joints.

  7. I had the same problem at Silverstone on satuday and ended up blowing the expansion cap top off. However mine was because of air in the top of the radiator which stops the fan switch seeing the true temp of the water - worth checking before you buy a new one!

    Topped up and bled the radiator and all was well with the fan switch - and thanks to Andrew Revill who drove me a cap down to Northampton this morning - top bloke!

  8. Anyone know what car the coolant expansion tank came from on a 1994 k series chassis. It is the flatter one with the 2 lugs at the front rather than the later rounder one. Need a cap and it would be easier to pop down to the local factors rather than order online - but I need to know what it is!!

     

    This is the cap - Expansion Cap

     

    I think it was a Rover 200 or Metro but not sure!?

     

    Thanks
