    Mudflap bracket

    I didn't like the off the shelf ones so made some out of stainless steel door hinges, works fine if you're not a purist, and no one really sees... On my bus the battery compartments (where the hinge bolts on) were different heights on each side, don't know if that is normal but does make a...

    Zig Cf8 question ?

    Thanks Sparkywig, I think there is only one 12v supply from the Zig, so all the 12v sources are common, which if is the case, and you attach to the +ves of both batteries, you are in effect running both batteries in parallel (+ves are joined in Zig), so they will both charge together from the...

    Zig Cf8 question ?

    Does it ? Where does it get the 12v from...? My Zig isn't connected to Cbattery (or Dynamo) at the moment

    Zig Cf8 question ?

    Thanks Sparkywig So with the Zig charging both Lbattery and CBattery when 240VAC is connected, the only other bit of the puzzle is to connect +ve Car battery to +ve Lbattery via a relay triggered by 12v from regulator, to get charge to LB from dynamo when moving ? (the Zig plays no part in...

    Zig Cf8 question ?

    Trying to get my head around Zig and split charging... Looking on the web it seems there should be direct (via 25A fuse) connection from Zig +12v terminals to both the leisure and car battery, but on my bus only the LB has this connection. The LB does charge from mains/Zig, the car battery...

    Help with handbrake adjustment

    I recently had this problem - the solution for me was to adjust the brakes as normal with the star adjusters, with handbrake adjusted so no friction. Take bus for spin and brake with foot brake as hard as you can without locking up from 30 MPH a few times, then 40 then 50. This shapes the new...

    Home made brake lines - good idea ?

    In the end I bought the tool and the kuni pipe - and had no problems, if anyone reads this all I can add is get the flaring tool that lets you create the flares in situ. For example to create the long pipe that goes from the brake light sensors at front along the inside of the protective tube...

    1968 Indicator stalk/switch (anyone got one ?) Are the new ones as bad as everyone reports...? Has any one tried a generic one - or one from another vehicle..? (Mine works but every now and again a wisp of smoke comes out of it...

    Problem removing CV shafts

    I replaced boots on left side of bus a few years back - no problems. Now doing the right side. I can undo the bolts on wheel side no problem with M8 splined tool, but can't get the tool to bite any of the inner gearbox side bolts. I've cleaned with WD40 and brushed so don't think it's grit...

    Claiming back fuel cost on company car

    Home made brake lines - good idea ?

    Thanks for the advice, I will make them myself but after giving them a wipe with some wire wool they look clean and shiny, (copper) - so I am hoping the MOT man will pass them. Bus has to go back for welding before next MOT attempt so will have them take a look. It failed on the long length from...

    Home made brake lines - good idea ?

    Bus failed MOT today on many counts - one being corroded brake lines ....It looks pretty easy to make them, and seems pretty hard to buy pre-formed ones for rhd pre 72 bus... Is this the sort of job an amateur can do, or am I liable to end up in a sea of brake fluid and no way to drive the...

    Door card film

    When I did mine we had the builders around, and they gave some polythene they buy on a roll to put over brick work to keep frost off. Cheap as chips and did the trick. Also painted a diluted coating of PVA over the panel,
