Put whatever you want in your brakes. Good bye.

Hi Stan, you are correct about Hygroscopic. However people do not read the punctuation just the words. It is not mineral in any form. Roger

EVERY body - please, please, please stop calling DOT4 MINERAL it is NOT. It is a synthetic oil based on Glycol-Ether. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid Very few cars use Mineral oil (no DOT Spec - however Aerospace is DTD585) If you put mineral oil in our cars then your seals will fail quickly - honest. Although DOT5 Silicone is not Hygroscopic Hydroscopic it will take on water as does any liquid open to the elements. Your pipes can still rust. Roger

+1

Just to clarify MINERAL brake fluid is NOT used in any TRiumph. Citroen, Rolls and many aircraft up to the late 60's use mineral but no cars. If you are concerned about your seals deteriorating then add mineral fluid - it will take a day or so but you will have no brakes. Roger

If you are charging a dead battery then you will probably find a modern charger will not do the job. Find and keep an OLD tech charger. Roger

Hi Steve, for surface rust I use a simple sanding disc (60 grit) to get the lighter stuff off - usually OK for most surface rust. For slightly deeper I like the fibrous wheel (Drongo wheel) in the second pic above. This gets the more deeper seated/harder rust off. If you want to go deeper I use Bilthambers DeOxC. For a vertical panel you would need to keep swabbing it with wire wool. I haven't found a gel that works yet. The converters should work. After the mechanical work wash with one of the converts to stop what you can't see. Roger

Do you want it or not. Roger

That is a nice simple circuit using a simple switch - excellent. Nice drawing of the circuit. Roger

Hi Martin, I have found the radio. It is in as new condition. Send me your address and I'll get it to you. Roger

Last Thursday I went to the Silver Ball cafe on the A10 near Royston for a nice drive out and a spot of lunch. Driving along the A10 I found two very large Red Deer (I think) in the hedgerow. About 1 mile apart and both very dead. Whatever hit them would have had significant damage. At the cafe there were two Trojan micro cars and a Durkoff 1957 scooter - all three in concours condition. The TRojans were an Isetta shaped bubble car in red and a Messerschmidt shaped micro. All three were stunning. Roger

HiMartin, back in March I bought what I thought was a classic looking radio that fitted by its front knobs. Sadly this is not so. It is a standard DIN fitting. It has all the features you are describing. It is not good to me. If you PM me your address I will post it to you. FOC They are no longer on EBay so I can't post an easy pic Roger
