    Wide 5 balancing in East Herts / North Essex ?

    Hello all, I know the question has been asked before, but I was hoping that someone knows of a tyre shop in East Herts / North Essex that can balance wide 5 wheels. I tried a few places locally to me in Stortford but no joy. Most can only do wheels with round holes in the middle. One place...

    Indicator relay

    The 4-pin flasher relay I needed for my 1970 van indicators was missing and because of the broken mess of my fusebox and other missing one-year-only difficulties, I changed it to 1973-on, so the original relay wouldn't physically fit. No worries, I thought; I have a 4-pin flasher relay for a...

    HORN PUSH QUESTION

    Just been through this myself on my 1970 devon. My PO was evidently unaware of the magic of electricity and had given up leaving the whole loom looking like magpies had nested in it. Anyway, the horn. An ignition-live feed from the fusebox runs under the floor to the horn (+ terminal). The...

    Dash Binnacle lights

    I took the bulbs out of mine to test with a meter. I needed a few new ones, but they were very cheap at Farnell online. (https://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=1139315) I also gave the metal a rub with emery cloth before reassembly. (Sorry the picture's not so good) Cheers, Rob

    Indicator switch mounting repair

    My (project) bus still hasn't turned the corner. In doing the things on the to-do list I still find it getting longer, not shorter. My first goal being MOT, to get it useable and easily movable. One easy job (I thought) would be to reattach the indicator switch that was hanging off the column...

    Main/dip flasher relay question

    My 1970 bus is missing relays and the fueses / wiring is a mess. I can sort the wiring, but I would like to replace the relays with ones that fit the fusebox, rather than mount different ones elsewhere. I have found DNI 0127 and some Hella equivalent numbers, but they are equivalent to...

    Lock barrel removal / rescue

    The lock in the sliding door handle (of my recently acquired project) wouldn't turn with the key, so I couldn't lock it. (It was so bad I thought it was the wrong key) So I removed the inner door handle to release the outer door handle and compared the lock number with the one on the tailgate...

    Sliding door lock advice please

    I don't have any plusgas, or anything else to try. Not much patience either. So I put the key in the lock and held the key tab in a vice, then brute-forced it by pushing and pulling the handle. Eventually it gave way, fortunately without breaking anything. The lock is so crudded-up inside...

    Sliding door lock advice please

    Hello all, Recently acquired 1970 Devon project. I would like to be able to lock it. One key fits all locks, but sliding door lock is stuck in the unlocked position. I've got the handle off and the grub screw out, but cannot remove / turn / loosen the barrel. I checked the key number on this...
