What about tent waterproofing just paint it on, paint should not bleed through that.

question,

been working through my air system, sealing it all up from the snorkel to the turbo and replaced most of the old piping with new silicone hose etc.

What about my turbo-intercooler piping? Now, by my reckoning, althought it would be nice to replace, its not a necessity, as at this point the air is being blown rather than drawn and as it is at a greater pressure than atmosphere is would be trying to escape down the pressure gradient leading me to believe that air would be trying to escape out through any splits/holes in the pipework and therefore in itself would stop water being ingressed.

correct? or am i barking up the wrong tree....

I recon your about right when driving, but while idling would there be enough pressure? No, any holes or splits would suck in water. They should be airtight anyway or you will get poor performance.

Do you mean paint the whole canvas with that and then apply stencil and paint through gaps? Do they resist oil based paints?

 

[Big Stu 12]

How and what would i seal it with?

Pass, it was jsut a thought.... some one might know, just wondered if you could

We wish. know the one you mean. OS map, time and effort unfortunately is the only way or go out with others and track the route.

as its on the landy i am assuming it has to be water proof anyway. try it first on a scrap of canvas and see.

Finally got my internet back on at the new house and get an update 20 pages back! Stop bloody talking lol

So i can move my landy from my workshop:

To my nice new garage so i can work on it at home without having to make a trip to the workshop :

Granted i cant get the body on by i can build up the bulkhead, suspension interior etc just not the roof


Oh and i must deal with MM this weekend on the ipad!

Just picked up starter and alternator after being reconned, £140 the pair cheaper than keep buying new. the fella said they don't like water and crap getting in them. I was going to answer no **** Sherlock, but did'nt want to appear ungrateful.
Also the starter should have a rubber breather pipe on, any idea where i can get one.

What sort of size is it, as the Breather tube might fit, or get some of that fish tank air pipe from b&q and try that, or I could look to see if there is any kicking around on the breaker we have.........let me know the size mate

got to sort my alternators out..... some time, perhaps shelock could help me out ther, lol

Hi Stu. it is a small rubber tube that push's into a small hole with a flap on. ( no innuendo intended )

It's not on the landy yet, just one side stitched with holes punched etc.
