The Classic Marque

Laurent, As a Yorkshireman I am cheap, but 75Euros for a complete rebuild kit would be better than trying to buy an individual diaphragm, or rebuild it yourself. Go to the manufacturer www.sucarb.co.uk

I could probably give you a list of outfits to avoid. Admittedly Colorado Red is among the worst colours to match, as it fades notoriously. I recently sent a swatch to a supplier, of the actual paint on the car, and they took no notice of it and pulled out a shade from a library. So the bonnet and boot are brighter than the rest. I am now going to drive over to Rainbow Paints in Westbury and get t...

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to restore a lucas pump for my TD. Just to have a spare. I need a new diaphragm. But the cost of this small piece is so high! So I would like to replace the rubber diaphragm only with standard rubber sheet. Fuel proof of course. Does any one know how it is assembled ?

Laurent.

Isn't it amazing how the cost of a simple thing like a can of paint mounts up!

I agree about the farm shop - Battlefield 1403. There's an interesting little museum too. I've keep meaning to suggest it for a local MASC meet up.

When I fitted similar pistons I did not fit the lower ring and the car runs fine and still does and that was 12 years ago. No smoke!

Thanks Colin. That's really useful.
I've dropped them a line, and could easily go over there. Shrewsbury isn't a bad place to take SWMBO for lunch. Together with the fuel, a couple of aerosols will come to about a hundred quid.

I remember a little farm shop on the A49 at Battlefield. Very good home-cured bacon.

Interesting point Bill.

The Norwegians have a sovereign wealth fund worth $2.2 trillion.
What have we?

Nick, if it's not too far out of your way, Border Automotive in Shrewsbury have been helpful for me.

I don't know what their gizmo was called but it identified a fairly close match to my non-standard maroon Sprite. It identified it as BMW Titian red. The match isn't perfect but then neither is my eyesight but the BMW colour is closer than any of the other shades I've tried.

B&C restoring classics entire USP is us lot watching it just to see how much money they will lose.

We watch it for car content, end of story. Them making any profit is not the reason we watch it!

And the more we take the mick about them on the internet is free advertising!

No such thing as bad publicity haha

2 people charging their cars at home caused it to melt? Rubbish

A house has maybe a 63a or 100a supply. If that supply was fully utilised in both houses, by heaters, or ovens, or other things, the defective cables could still have melted.

Nothing to do with EV car charging.

and people running cables across pavements - stop making it an EV car problem. Its just a stupid thing t...
