Re: REMOTE BRAKE RESERVOIR KIT

Hi Declan
Many thanks for all the info,and photos,very helpful.
I am going to Rally Design on Monday for the parts required for the job.
I am sure not going to fit the plastic pipe,better to do the job once only.
Thanks again,and hope this helps other Members?
regards

Re: new radiator issue

Hi All
Speaking of radiators,my radiator grille is looking tatty,and overdue for a little tlc.
How do you remove it from the front panel?
Someone said you can do it with out taking the rad out,by tilting it back,but I think I will drain it,and have some fresh
antifreeze.
best regards

Re: The 21st Kent Hop Run

Hi All
I have been told,that Dogs might be allowed in the car show field on a lead,but not the Farm complex?
My advice,would be to ring The Rare Breeds Centre direct,as I would not want to mislead anyone.
kind regards

Re: Traveller fuel Tank

Hi
Many thanks for that,it appears that tanks have jumped up in price?I did consider the larger tanks,but you cannot fit your spare wheel back,so for me thats a non starter.
Thanks also for the tip on dumdum,I used it when I replaced the glass in my Traveller doors
Speak again soon

Re: Lucas ACR Alternator

Hi
Its been awhile since I purchase an alternator,are they not an exchange unit anymore?
If the answer is no,you could repair your old unit as a spare,if the bearings are all good.
