Swivel pins and bearings took me a day on my Fender which included fitting new wheel bearings ... not a bad job but quite greasy ;)

Sounds encouraging. The bit about using the right shims to get the tension right worries me a little, but I might give it a go. :eek:)

With new swivel pins and railko bushes you are best to put all the shims on to start with and then check the pre-load using a cheap set of fishing scales. Pre-load should be around 8 - 10lbs. If it is too loose simply remove a few shims until you get the load right. It's all explained on here if you get stuck ;)
 
Fitted a kill switch after some dodgy bloke in a transit pick up turned up asking if I want to sell it. Now when its turned off the engine just turns over without firing, sounds like it has no fuel.

Gonna invest in some other bit when Ive got some cash too.

There is a central locking kit with alarm for 2 doors on flea bay for £30 and a gps tracking thing for just under 60 on amazon. They are next on the list for me. Then I might look at a fuel starving valve. fooking pikeys thinking they can nick me stoof!
