No worries Paul!

Rob, Josh, Mike and I had a pleasant evening and i managed to make it home without being a wimp and putting the top up!

That will teach me to remember my thick coat next time!

I won't be there next week as explained tonight, but i will catch up with you all soon!

sorry guys, i was hoping to make it tonight but something came up at the 11th hour so to speak.

Post by **WPR678B** » Fri May 04, 2007 7:13 pm

No worries Jay! I had an 11th hour problem that involved a carb rebuild on the drive before i set off as i was leaking more petrol than i was using!

Hey chaps,
Anybody got some rear brake return springs going spare? I took off the nearside drum on sunday to find only one spring.

Thanks to Carlo for his tip of undoing the centre brake union first, but alas it didn't help - I attached the seized end to the new cylinder fine but the pipe is in the wrong orientation to reattach in the centre. The thread on the new cylinder is the correct diameter and pitch, but it just so happens that the thread is rotated compared to the old cylinder. Bugger. Some new pipes are on their way...

Couldn't get the handbrake cable end off the cylinder lever either...

Another thing: anybody fancy a welding course? More details on thursday.

One of my colleagues went to the Royal Oak (Fritham) last night, and reminded me about how good it is, so I call that one.
Aye or No?

Thats good for me

As discussed with JimK I proposed a visit to the Obelisk pub in Woolston at some time in the near future. Just round the corner from me and easy to find. Seeing as the majority of you haven't seen Albert yet you can get your noses under my carport too.
All those in favour?

Sorry Pete, forgot about that when a chap here started talking about the Royal Oak. Do you want to do it this week? I'd very much like to see Albert and I'm around for the next three thursdays, after which I'm away for several weeks.

Best to put that to the collective.......
