Did any of you guys make your own in the end?

What about John Guest speedfit or similar to make the frame, this would stay rigid but collapse and give on impact with no sharp edges, just bent plastic. Could be padded between the fittings and wrapped with "paracord" and a cargo net or bamboo style weave. I love making stuff, and now this...

It is indeed triple nickel chrome, as found on old tools etc. Snap-on shiny stuff used to be triple nickel plated back in the day. What annoys me is that you can buy the cheapest basic chromed metal sink tap from just about anywhere and it will last for years wether cleaned regularly or left...

There's another post somewhere where i rant probably, but to be short, I have heard of a few auto extinguishers and not heard of any bad ones. They come in many different designs. Amongst a lot of other work, i fit and commission "Fireboy Xintex" suppression systems on luxury and super yachts...

...oh and bottom of front panel inner strengthener, lower outer skin, corner closing panels and, maybe a bit of front chassis leg.

Hey guys, thanks for the number, I'll save it. I had a newer number after doing a return, but it doesn't work anymore. To be fair, if they don't want to talk to customers that's fine, but it will lead to more returns due to unanswered questions and more customers for other vendors. It's a shame...

Don't really use it, I'm not a fan of Facebook, too intrusive and pestering for me! I've spent quite a bit with them as their products are top notch for the most part, a bit pricey sometimes but the quality is usually there. It's always my first port of call when looking for parts. if it's that...

Hi guys, anyone know if I can get hold of custom.. on here as they are not responding to their contact form and don't have a phone number anymore?

Nobody has nonced it up but there's bad welding and filler holding it together! If it really was as described, it would be priced higher too.

Guys, ignore the R9 rating if you aren't using fuel injection. The SAE30 R9 spec is more to do with handling Fi pressures than nasty fuel. The Cohline biofuel hose is tried and proven to be the best option in a rubber "OG" type hose. AFS are a reliable, trusted supplier. There are fakes out...

Anyone know if the twin port 34pict 3 manifold centre section can be swapped out for the single port 30 type? ie. are the boots the same and preheat pipes the same? If so, I have one and I bet there's a lot of spare ones knocking about.

It's nice to see what options folks go for. That sounds like a nice setup. Have you changed your carb and pump barbs and tank noodle for an8 fittings? PTFE really is resistant to just about any chemical and will last a long, long time. Looked at stainless braided ptfe but it's not cheap. My...

Take some, I haven't documented much on my bus. Shame on me

*Hose wears at the tinware grommet not bulkhead. And by bulkhead, I mean the surface the original clips are attached to from the tank. It's been a while since I was under there. Got a reverse sensor to fit soon, I'll try to get photos.

I'll try to get some pics if it's helpful. The piece from the tank was not easy to manoeuvre into place. From memory, I partially bent it then completed the bend in-situ after getting it through the gearbox tinware grommet. For securing you could use "P" clips but didn't seem necessary to...

Used small bits of the cohline hose pushed over the stainless pipe to make it fit the original clips. Passes through bulkhead/gearbox tin with a join engine bay side. Then stainless to the pump with a short piece joining. Used the centre of the HT lead clamp to secure at the fan housing.

I replaced my lines years ago with stainless pipe from the tank to the engine bay, then Cohline bio hose from AFS to pump and carbs. Hard pipe where it passes near the heat exchanger, so less chance of a fire. That section is far more likely to deteriorate due to being exposed to heat and the...

The heritage header was a real pita to fit, as nothing lined up properly. I would have returned it but needed it fitted for MOT.

Get the stainless header and save the agro. I had the same setup years ago but the empi 4 into 1 1/4" and a repacked stainless blue flame big bike exhaust. Wrapped the header, with much difficulty as the pipes touched in places where they cross, so not fully covered. Metal cable ties are a...

I tried this with mine, ('72 cross) when the high beam stopped. It's easy to dismantle but I have yet to find anything that can glue the broken plastic/nylon parts together and stay stuck when the cam/spring action occurs on operating. Ended up getting a preloved one to replace it with. Yours...
