I think the round centre hole wheels were for one year , it would make sense it was 1971 the first year of 5 x 112 but I’m not sure. Hub caps just push onto those rims , no spring clips. Remember to sand the powder coat away from the wheel lug holes before fitting. Otherwise the powder coat...

Not used my bus nearly enough this year and not slept in it once :( However , a bit of work planned for the winter … I just broke an engine lid hinge so that needs sorting and I plan to address some rust along the lower edge of the engine lid. I’ve finally found a good paint match so am happy...

Was 18 years this summer. I was thinking the other day how much of the buses life I’ve owned it for now. Not bad given it was probably deemed end of the road at that point for it.

I've never been aware of a difference but you never know!

Yes, I'm pretty sure the rear arch looks pretty wide. Everything else looks good. Hard to know the root cause, could be a pattern panel that not a best fit or just alignment problems. In the bad old days people would weld replacement panels over the top of the rusted out panel but lets hope...

A few months ago I looked at new cylinders on JK. I think there were two types available. So called genuine ones at around £75 each and pattern ones for about £15 .... neither appealed at the time but I guess the genuine ones are the right choice. My new front shoes arrived and fitted quite...

I have email receipts from Rothfink but no ticket/pass as such. Anyone know?

Right next to Cardiff airport.

If I get brakes fixed, I'm going. Probably look for an overnighter on Saturday as 0830 arrival seems brutal from Gloucester.

Has the rear arch been repaired? I've seen them replaced, and the alignment can be different from standard - could be the issue?

I’m just buying shoes. You’ll be gathering I don’t spend out if I don’t ‘have’ to 😂

I only fitted these at the start of the year as the previous ones had broken up. I found these in a box of old (used) parts and thought they might be ok. No idea how old they are … quite old I guess? Ordered some actual brand new ones today. Sometimes you got to I guess. :D

Brakes felt a bit off

I’d had to use sealant to stop regular aftermarket gaskets leaking but just greased some of those thicker ones and they’ve been fine so far this year.

I had a late bay from about 1993. Bought and sold loads but only really ‘owned’ two.

I’d say so. If you were an experienced welder then maybe, but that’s ‘lot’ of welding and bodywork there to do. Chassis too …

Depends on the price but I’d question the original paint claim. That sides had a load of filler in it and the front is repainted. It’s not a massive deal but don’t be sold on something it isn’t. It’s a whole bunch of work and will cost a lot to do, even if you are doing it. Worth considering a...

Looks well smart Si. :D
