Unofficial fuel pump workshop at the National?

Post by alex_holden »

I've promised to show a friend how to change his fuel pump points at the National this weekend. Would anyone else be interested in bringing their spare fuel pumps along to be fettled at an unofficial 'fuel pump workshop' in the website area of the campsite on Saturday afternoon?

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

I might just do that! I've had a new headlining sitting in the garage for more than 5 years but have never been brave enough to fit it. Been put off by too many horror stories on here about how tricky it is to do :-?

How about we set up a 'website' service centre? People can specify the jobs they need a hand with and any willing volunteers can be repaid in tea and cakes :lol: :lol:

I have a fuel pump that I don't think works, might be useful for stripping down.

If you bring it along with a new set of points we can have a go at getting it working again! :)

Brilliant idea - nice one, and thanks for volunteering, dude :D

I think I have a couple in various stages of decomposition; if I do make it to the National I will bring them along (remind me... :roll: ) 8)
