Non rusty handbrake mech! Never seen one of those, does that mean it is effective?!

I have hopes Chris - but we shall see!

Mac.

Does anyone know if the handrake mech is still available form volvo?

No idea mate. Wouldn't be a tricky one to make though, send a cad drawing off to have laser cut would cost about the same as Volvo if they did have it

Has anyone got a spare one they want to send me so I can get some nice new ones made? Does not matter if they have seized up.

I have a 340 axle in my back garden getting thrown next week Dai. I shall remove them for you, they are unseized as I spent an hour or 2 a couple of months back, mine had siezed to true not working and epically MOT failed!

Hi Dai,

Hope you're well.

Have you received my PMs, txts and voicemails ok?

cheers

UPDATE:-

One filthy mother of a carb!



Blocked pre heat plate pipe,



Looking rather better, going together with a "Webcon" kit,



Arrrgh - my eyes, my eyes, - the calipers having makeup applied!



Mac.

Oooooh. Turn my back for a few weeks and look what happens. I'll be watching this one with much interest.

Mac - The British Beard Club would love to have you as a member.

Thank you Gavin - I shall look into the Beard Club !

UPDATE.

Engine bay ready to receive bits,



Bits going in - yes I know the R/C is the wrong colour - must give the beggars something easy to criticise!



More bits - carb came up nicely!,



And from the udder side,



The calipers ready for rebuilding (using a Lucas kit I "had lying around",



Going to sand blast and spray the wheels tomorrow.

Mac.

Ah well Steve - I may be a bearded old fart but my mental age is about 15 and there is still a boy racer spark there (apart from that it winds up the traditional "you've used the wrong shade of gray there - 10 points off" brigade.
