Fitted my new Birthday present to myself today.

Chav! :lol:

Got an ebay link for them lol.

Well confermed oil pressure today. Should run between 25 and 55psi when warm. Mines running 14.

Looks like new cam belt kit and oil pump need to be fitted before I take it out again. Also with everything else.

I personally would make them from steel. No reactions between the metals or soft metals rubbing on hard, etc...

I could do, just don't have any dealer near me

matthew2riches · Sep 30, 2011

Infact, I've just looked on eBay and they're not very dear.

ISG at stock, i can collect it for you if you order it. Over Stansted soon so can drop off if i dont see you before

IS&G Steel Stockholders - your local steel stockholder in the South East, suppliers of Weldmesh and steel construction products.
Also steel stock holders in Basildon cant think of their name.

666 george · Sep 30, 2011

Cheers geoff, will give them a call sometime.

That's no problem Ian, I hope that it was all the info that you need, As far as the SWR Meter goes, you can leave one in, but there is no need, I have left my Patch Lead in place so I can just pug the meter in from time to time with out the hassle of getting to the back of the rig.

if you got any more questions just ask mate.

I got a set of 2" lift blocks that came off my disco, used them for about 6 months if your interested?

666 george · Sep 30, 2011

Sounds good to me. Cheers. Why did you take them off, did you get a lift kit.

Co-Pang-Yang · Sep 30, 2011

I used some 2" box section for my lifting blocks. Leftovers from my bumpers lol.

I just got a lift in the end, was going to put the blocks back in after it, and do some more work , but now decided to do a body lift, so to keep the CofG down a bit more, but still try to get more entry and departure angle.

All I want for them is a drink or two.

666 george · Sep 30, 2011

Cool, put my name on them.
Did think about a lift 3 years ago when i changed it all.
Nows the time to fit bigger tyres & a lift

Quick question,

does cable length affect CB set up?

i currently have a 10 m cable bunched up underneath the headlining, will this affect the actual function of the CB?
