Thanks for the belts bud, Arrived safe and well but I had to wait for Christmas for them

PM sent about the belts bud

Thinking of doing something like this myself buy adding flake to a clear carrier using small flake and a 1.5mm nozzle with just a few suttle bits here and their in floor pan. after all how hard can it be 

Will get around to finding place and time to put a build tread on.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks Muzzy a mate sorted me one at the weekend. Very much appreciated though.

Thanks man, will do very kind bud

HI Didgeman

Did you get a new steering ring?  If not I found a proper VW one with the webbing in between layers today in my bits and bobs.

It Was on my buggy for less than 1000 miles before I put a UJ on it earlier this year.

Yours for free if you want it, just PM me your address

Chad

Morning Chad if Didgeman has got one already, would you sell it to me as I am looking for one for mine, just not to the buying bits stage will look to do this in one go when I do so save on delivery charges. Nothing like having a bit box of bits turn up.

Cheers Duncan

Morning all

Got my buggy down to floor pan and ready to have a primer put on and I have some stuff that contain's Zinc Phosphate to help stop the rust. This can be brushed on but wanted to try my hand at spraying so got myself a spray gun and going to give this ago at the weekend. After all how hard can it be     

Question I have is can you also spray with Hammerite and if so what ratio to thin it down with thinners?

I have the paint already so would be a shame not to use it one way or another and have been using a brush but as I have a gun why not give it a go.

Afternoon do you still have the column for sale ?

 Hello everyone, hoping someone can help. I am looking for a twin or single stalk collapsible steering column for a 1965 BUGGY. I may be able to collect with a courier if needed but we can talk about that. So what you got ladies and gents ??

Cheers Duncan

Cool sooo glad I read this and have removed the one I had on my watch list ready for when I start putting things back together.

Gasket is here cant wait to put it back on just need to wait for a bit of mild steel a mate is getting for the tabs you bend over to stop bolts undoing. Will post some pics later.

Morning All

I have a question about the back part of my Chassis as to what I can safely take off and undo to to give me access to clean it down ready for painting. I am only doing it buy hand with Hammer-rite. Are their bit that I just should not undo or others I can take out a couple of bolts clean and then put them back ?

So all being well gasket is on the way. Well materiel to make one anyways. had a chat with a supplier who supply natural rubber but they only do it 9mm thick as a minimum  but after a few emails and some pics later half a square meter is on its way to me on a pallet with some  material I brought from work. We see on Tuesday

dont bother getting ripped off for a gasket just put a bead of seam seal round it to keep water out

Beam Seal not sure what that is but will have a look, learning as I go along all new to me and first project. I will have to start a build tread.

nice to see a good collection of tools i find a good hammer solves most problems

Lol something along with a screw driver I found most effective at bending back the tabs to stop the bolts undoing when took of the front beam. Which reminds me I need to get some more of the metal strips that do that job.
