Likewise, I also have a stand and yoke and I’m based in Worcester if required.

Have you thought about a ‘normal’ car tyre inflator, but buying an adapter that turns a cigarette lighter input, to crocodile clips to pop straight onto your battery? This is what we’ve done, mainly because of not wanting to purchase another device with charger etc.

Small World! We’ve been up to East Kilbride visiting family, and then on up to Glenmore for a few days and traveled down to Musselburgh today. Hadn’t seen a single T2 until today, and then saw three! The weather has finally spoilt us, it hasn’t been the best start to a week off, but perfect...

I’m pretty sure we’ve just passed you parked up on the side of the A9 north of Perth?! If not you, then you have a doppelgänger!!

Hi folks, I’m toying with the idea of buying a windscreen cover to use when camping, as it is a faff to draw our internal curtains and have to use a variety of magnets to avoid massive gaps 😂 I’ve taken a look at a few places selling them, but it’s not clear if different manufacturers are...

We have one - went for a CSP bolt-on tow bar. It’s quite pricey, but keeps the bumper in the standard location (unlike the Autocraft one) and supports enough weight to deal with our bike rack and bikes. The swan neck can also be unbolted and removed. We had a Gadget Westy copy one before, but...

My ‘audio’ build starts at the bottom of the page here: https://earlybay.com/threads/the-white-westy-we-call-steve.71193/page-2 A little different to what you’re after, but might tick some boxes for not having to modify anything original in the van, and is nice and accessible whilst driving.

It would need the eyelet crimping, you are correct. However, this can be done by the vendor themselves before posting, or if you’re creative with a vice, a suitable crimp can be fashioned this way (bear in mind the cable takes very little strain load!) I added a smoothed blob of epoxy on the...

Even better (and cheaper) than the Empi DIY kit is a combination of the following: https://www.gsproducts.co.uk/7x19-stainless-steel-wire-rope/ https://www.gsproducts.co.uk/bzp-eye/ I fitted these last year as wasn’t happy with the hook end of the Empi kit, and have to say they are a...

I’m trying to recall the setup on ours, but I’m pretty sure the tube should extend through the fan shroud and through the over-gearbox tin. This means it is easily accessible to poke the wire through when underneath the van. The use of a jubilee clip at the gearbox end will indeed help to stop...

The free play of the clutch is fairly critical - from memory the pedal needs to move 10-15mm before encountering resistance (check this figure is correct before applying!). Too little and the cable will be over-extending which can stretch it or damage the release bearing. Too much and the clutch...

It sounds like it just needs the clutch cable adjusting a little tighter - can you confirm how this was adjusted when the new clutch was fitted?

Are you adjusting the rear shoes before adjusting the handbrake cable? Assuming the procedure is similar for all rear drum brakes, the shoes need adjusting until they just start to drag (noting that you may have to pump the brake pedal throughout the procedure to keep the shoes centred) and then...

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. But something I noticed (and others who’ve reviewed it suggest the same) is that the batteries need a couple of discharge and recharge cycles before the impact gun delivers its maximum torque. Not sure why it doesn’t out of the box, assume it’s something...

Slightly out of your budget range, but I looked at various options a few years ago and plumped for one of these: https://www.dewalt.co.uk/product/dcf899p2-gb/18v-xr-brushless-high-torque-12-impact-wrench-2-x-5-ah The torque sold it to me - I couldn’t find anything close for that cash, and as...

I guess you’ll find out once they’ve been washed and dried! A colleague of mine who races Autograss (and therefore does a massive amount of filter cleaning!) highly recommends using a shower head and hot water, and blasting the filter from the inside to flush the majority of the trapped dirt out...

Check what they’re made of first! K&N filters are generally cotton and washable as Sparky has said. They might be paper in which case they need to be binned when it is time to replace. We’ve got a taller and thinner pair of K&N filters on ours which might be a better fit around the bulge of a...

You’re not the only one! If our garage was taller, I know what we’d have sitting in there… 😜

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, that push rod looks fairly beaten up as a result of coming off the rocker arm - the tube is mushroomed at the end, and possibly looks bent? Also, the nut looks right at the end of its ‘slack’ travel on the adjuster compared to the others - points towards having...

If you want to borrow a strobe, you’re more than welcome to mine - I’m not too far away in Worcester. It is very useful to have one with an adjustable advance dial on it.
