  1. This is still available if anyone wants it. I messaged you a while back @Dave Clasper. Happy to accept £30 for it now.
  2. Ok, I'm in Cheltenham but pass through Bristol at least once a month so was thinking I could drop it somewhere. If you decide you do want it, and want to make an offer (Rimmer sells their replacement for £58 FYI), please go ahead 👍
  3. ...well it's a year and a half later, and I've just found these in a box, still polished up ready to sell. If anyone fancies them, make me an offer 🙌
  4. I have two of these, so keeping one and flogging the other. New unopened and stored flat. I've fitted these a couple of times, lovely 'proper' gaskets and as far I can tell not made now, although Rimmers have some stock I'm told. Make me an offer? I can send, but it's pretty big and might be expensive, so collection from Cheltenham possible. I could deliver it if it's around Gloucestershire or Bristol area, if you don't mind waiting a little. Cheers!
  5. Goodness. Very sad. I didn't know her, only saw what she achieved and watched her progress with occasional reports from her various co-drivers during events. What an intrepid and interesting person she seemed to be 😞
  6. My plastic cap arrived today, which is really good because the old one was so stuck on I had to cut it off with some snips!
  7. Hi, Just to add to Rob’s comments about the solid pipe, the flexible hoses - which it sound like someone used vacuum hose for - need to be able to take modern fuels. So you’re looking for hose from trusted sources that meet “SAE J30 R9” or “…R14”. If it’s R9 or R14 it won’t permeate fuel and smell and will resit up to E85. Avoid R6 unless you have to for a short period of time, on E10 fuel it’ll break down within a year. Lots or us use Gates Barricade hose and it lasts well. Not easiest to get hold of sometimes in short runs. There’s long and slightly boring threads about hose on the forum, have a search for the term “sae” and you’ll find some more info, or reply here with questions 👍
  8. Jasper looks like the sort of guy you can go to for life advice, and he gives it to you straight, but in a kindly and wise way. 14/10. Sadly we don't and probably won't have a dog, but if we did, it would be a scruffy whippet-scale lurcher called Loudon.
  9. Aha! Excellent! I love this sort of problem solving. Looks like a proper job there too 👍
  10. ...this is STILL a constant irritation to me. I'm tempted to drill two small holes at the lowest points left and right, and insert/bond-in two flush rivet-nuts, then pipe them to the fuel-breather exit hole (or one of my other rust holes! 😂). Am... I... mad.
  11. Honestly I'd have paid a tenner, it's always such a pain getting the alloy one off, I think every time I'm going to snap the main body/pedestal. I'd quite like to modify it to include the level warning switch from a mini brake MC (GRK6009 / AEU1796), then wire both MCs to a little warning light. Just because 🙂
  12. Ah well in that case they must have put price up following orders for it. Business I guess...
  13. Hah, sorry. I just didn’t want anyone else to pay what Amazon are asking now. They probably have it on the automatic pricing thing based on clicks and interest.
  14. Ah Tim! This is brilliant, I searched high and low for a poly one for large Girling MCs long ago and gave up. I too have a smaller one (mini fit with level sensor) already. I checked the Amazon link, and they had gone up a couple quid. Searched for the actual website and just bought one on there for just under £4 delivered: https://www.upgrademotorsport.co.uk/product-page/girling-type-brake-fluid-reservoir-cap-motorsport-classic-car-4x4-uk-seller Will report back re fit. Thanks for the tip!
  15. Yikes, ok glad I asked. No it’s not too bad in the tank, reckon I’ll just give it a scrub out and refit. Those ally ones are lovely! £££
