Lovely week in Norfolk in the Wells area.
Had to use the heater in the evenings on a couple of days, autumn has definitely arrived [emoji12]

Thanks for sharing - looks like you had a grand time.

Thanks Andy yes we did. Haven’t been to this part of Britain for about 26 years or so.

Great to see you are still working on yours. [emoji106]

Thanks for the recommendation Abel![emoji106] Adrian at the garage really knows what he is doing and the engine never ran sweeter!

Stopped off at the Lakes on Thursday as it was such nice weather. Went for a walk on Friday. The engine is running a lot better now with no hesitation. I have also since removed the Malpassi pressure regulator after Abel and Adrians suggestion as the adapted fuel pump push rod is providing the correct pressure for the ICT carbs.

That looks absolutely fabulous. I love the Lakes (anywhere with mountains to be honest).
 
Regards the horn - its the small things that make the difference (oh err missus).

Take it the steering wheel cover pics are in the the wrong order?

[emoji23] yes Andy it is. No one will even see it, but I know.

I used Tapatalk to put these pics on and I have no idea why they are in that order !

the wheel cover looks good, what make/supplier? Been thinking of same due to cracks in the rim. I've filled them with modelling clay, but it really needs a coat of paint or a cover to make it 'proper'
 
Sorry for late reply. This is the link for the cover:

Been to Aldi today for the weekends shopping. Good excuse to give the bus a run. [emoji6]

Also tidied up (as in I moved) some wiring in the engine bay.
I removed the saggy tar boards. What do others use as a non saggy alternative?

I bought a length of board from B & Q that you use to go in front of a radiator in your house.
It's nearly the same just the holes are a little tighter together. Sprayed it black.

This is the sort of thing I used and some new fibreglass insulation between.
Hope the idea helps. Bus is looking good.
