I'll pop in and pick up that 7 core tomorrow mate, all I need then is a numberplate and a pair of tyres.
Oh, and a wheel nut for the one I lost earlier....

As for a plate I got Rod @ engravatec to knock me up a 'show' plate the other week... Let me know and I'll sort one for you
No worries.

Bearing shells pressed in,
link pins, shims and spindles fitted.
Futbus disc brake hub and carrier on (tell you what, the beam is really, really heavy now.... :lol: ),
and I'm driving the bus on a glorious sunny day.

Sainsburys actually, I can't get into Tesco's car park because of the new speed ramps.

This is my entrance into the "Race to Ninove 2014......"
Had a trip to Lakeland Camping at Llangorse for the Jubilee, just a few pictures from the weekend.
The view towards Pen-Y-Fan.
Orchard field camp.
Home sweet home...
View towards Mynydd Troed.
Saturday's breakfast
Some cakes provided for the "street party", and very nice they were too.
"street party"
Yes, that is me necking a cold one at the back.... :lol:
A very rare family shot
Sunday's roast before, no after pictures as it was dark and used 2 1/2 cobblestones......
We had our own flotilla thanks to a friend's awning.
See, the sun does shine in Wales.....
The Jubilee beacon being lit on the summit of Mynydd Troed.
All packed up ready for the trip home....

Bit of a set back on the beam front, had trouble fitting the callipers and wheels on a dry run. Looks like one of the calliper carriers is twisted and the other is for a 15" set-up. So they've had to come off and be sent back to Dave at Futbus.
Running out of time to get it fitted for Camper Jam now.
Nothing's ever straightforward or fits first time these days......
:roll:
Had a cracking weekend at Bristol Volksfest after a wet and very windy start though.

The beam's sitting in the back of the bus as I'm still waiting for the correct calliper mounts to arrive.....
So today I mostly checked the oil and points, and adjusted the fan belt. Then I noticed that the inner front valance was starting to rust already, especially where it joins the outer, so attacked it with a wire brush and copious amounts of rust converter. Thanks for 4 poster ramps.
Although the primer was applied whilst lying on my back with the front of the bus on axle stands on the drive in the rain. :lol:
It's amazing what shows up with the camera flash that you can't see in semi-darkness with your nose almost touching the chassis legs. :lol:
I think it may be age (or lack of alcohol in system), but I'm strangely attracted to the new purchase down the yard......
:scared0016:
....and I've also found the reason why the bus got louder on the trip back up the motorway. :lol:
