You don't want to do this -really. Unless you make it a commercial enterprise, in which case do tell HMRC about it first. Yes it is easy (homebrew + pressure cooker, thermometer and microbore pipe) but going to prison for it isn't worth it. If you want to try running on ethanol - check out the...

Have just got a pair from Craddocks, but now can't decide how to fit them. To make a long story even longer, I got a 'pair' from Eblag, but couldn't figure out where to fit them. As one was motheaten, and the other wasn't that good, I opted for a new pair. It's going in a SWB. I've got the...

For those only needing one and not a box full, Try farm supplies, as they stock a lot of useful stuff (welding, zinc phos primer, gallons of EP90 etc)

I don't need a pump to get depression in mine :o

I've used Dinitrol stonechip aerosol over the paint at the very edge of wheelarches, then overcoated with a colour match on a few cars now, and seems a very professional finish (orange peel bumpy close up). I would recommend it on sound paintwork. I've also tried paint on thick waxoyl on slight...

Check out MM-4x4 as they do some very helpful chassis rail sections. They are a neat oversize for the chassis rails, so will make life easier. Get some steel sheet strips cut for the sides - 2mm plate should do. I advise you to buy a cheap runabout with some MOT left for the time being. Lots...

I did the passenger side on my last SWB. Took heater off and set to with grinder leaving an inch for attachment. I also sliced right through the door edge at exactly the same height as the new 'lip'. Removing rivets and door seal, and using a cold chisel and moles I could unpeel the old one, so...

oooh, I think I've left that one at work. I'll reply monday unless somone else can find it first. I think they did it from the bottom up tho - Wheels, axles, (new springs), Transmission, engine, Then undid all chassis to body bolts (correction, ground off most)Electrics, then lifted the...

Get a copy of LRO back issue that covers one? - And a big garage, and a stack of beer for the help lifting you're gonna need ;)

Many won't let you do this as they want you to be confined to a little office thesedays. These are also the places that tell you you can't take the car away as it's in a dangerous condition without extracting £££ first. I now know how to spot dodgey garages - They're the ones that need a skip...

Check out Donaldson Air Filter on Eblag and you should find one suitable for a snorkle. I've got that far with mine, and am now after some 63mm Aluminium rain water pipe for the tubes. I aim to go straight down into the wing with a thick gromet strip around the cut edge. From there, it's...

Got some new unloaded front springs at 86cm between centres, 68mm wide bushes at the ends, but I suppose if the springs are longer or shorter, the spring shackles will take up the ajustment. I've heard transit parabolics are possible, and you may be able to swap a few of the leaves about...

Yes, buy some new brake pipe and a decent flaring tool. - Practice on the lengths you need sticking out before flaring first to get the feel of it. You will use it again and again believe me if you're replacing brake cylinders etc. Check out the back of some Haynes manuals for a run down of...

Hi, I used to work in a plant making aircraft parts that had it's own process shop. -AP Hydraulics / Lockheeds. Al alloy parts were first vapour degreased and anodised as above. When the pores in the metal were open they look like hexagonal crystal with a hole in the centre. The parts were...

Most of the cheaper Vegge oils are rapeseed anyway. Other oils are being used either neat or for development of biodiesel. Oils I know that are in use are Corn, Rapeseed, Jatropa, Palm, Coconut, and let's not forget that diesels were first made to run on peanut oil, before the petroleum giants...

I'll have 2 Would it be good to put an Ad in one of the mags?

Bonnet is just resting as it's changing colour from Blue to Epsom green. As I haven't a garage I have to pick my timing between Scottish weather. The Boarding is to help transfer the Prima engine I'm overhauling at work. The lighthouse is not my idea and will be going. Numberplate removed...

Here's a piccie of DOA. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/Theapocathary/100_1881.jpghttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/Theapocathary/100_1881.jpg

Check the Earths behind the front Grill - there should be a connection behind there for it. Mine corroded, so I did a Halogen conversion on them - Mixed from Ebay. - Ring Light set- blokie No.1, 2nd hand Bowls from Blokie No.2, Seals from a mini (Blokie No.3) Black Rims from a wolf with screws...

Thanks for that advice - may have prevented serious hydraulic damage. I wasn't thinking of using that much - more of a fine mist in the air intake. I had heard that the US military had done trials on their powerplant, which reduced fuel use by over 50% . The downside was water in the sump and...
