He's barely housetrained. ;D
Nope he's another two years at college before he can do the testers course so one of the other guys had to do it.
Not too bad really, easy enough access with the wheel off.

Is it a common area for them to rust then?
I've noticed that the inner wing / chassis leg area on mine are starting to look a bit on the rusty side in places :'( That said, it passed the MOT on Saturday :y

His Lordship has just finished migging a plate on and covering it up with underseal so hopefully it'll pass tomorrow.

The body shop unbolted my steering box so they could weld up around & about the chassis leg.

Ah mines not that bad!
Guess its a case of getting the wire brush out and seeing what its like under the paint thats starting to lift - if its fine, then slap a load of Dinitrol on then?

Just got to fix the self levelling pipe he managed to nick with the grinder now.
Can you get speedyfits for 3.26mm o/d pipe?

I wonder if you could find a bit of ordinary plastic airline with araldite that you could use as a speedyfit. I've some 6 mm tubing that has a 4 mm bore :-/ :-/

Isn't it the same type of pipe as the multiram Vac pipe? If so then then one of the rubber 90 degree pieces cut down should do.

I suppose it depends what kind of pressure the line runs at really I doubt it is that great.
I was thinking speedyfit as they can cope with airline pressures so should be ok with the s/l system assuming they do them in the necessary size.
I shall have to pay Brabbin and Rudds a visit.
