I see where you are coming from, but I always look at it from the viewpoint of can I make it as well for the same money or less? Plus you are paying for the convenience factor. I'm also guessing they are using experienced operatives who these days are in short supply for this type of skill and...

Got the full all singing all dancing loom from auto sparks. Still trying to find time to fit it. Seems a quality product for a fair price. Put it this way, it would cost me triple in time and money to make it myself. My only complaint is that the wires are not labelled. Colour coding is fine, if...

So, I've taken the motor apart. I don't suppose anyone knows where the two big springs go?🙄 I can see that I need to replace a brush spring 👍

So c'mon, did you get your wee beastie running again?🙂

I'll give it a try.

Thank you. I'm trying to test the resistor before I reassemble the casing. I've still got to buy a new motor as the old one is kaput 😕 Well, I've tried it on a 12v supply and it doesn't move!

Hopefully reassembly commencing today. Just a thought, how does one test the resistor without a volt meter? J rig a bulb and see if one wire makes it shine brighter than the other? TIA👍

Don't know if it's as simple as just unbolting the front panel. Pretty sure when I did mine, they were a mix of bolt's, rivets and spot welds.

Makes sense. Thank you 👍

Evening all. Just taking apart the heater blower (guessing the motor is dead ☹️) ready for a clean up and found this inside Any idea what it is and what it does? Thank you 👍

Perfect. Thank you for your time and effort. It's appreciated. Now to ask my tame fabrication man to make it 👍

If you could do a rough sketch, that would be brilliant. No worries if not, I'll sus it out 😁👍

Thank you. Very kind of you and much appreciated 👍 👍

To be fair, I looked at the pictures on Richards chassis and the only one with the bracket is the s2 chassis. The S3 chassis on their site doesn't show it. But, why did my old chassis have it and why did the new exhaust come with the support to mount to that bracket?! 😁

I've fitted the exhaust without the intermediate bracket, but it is not 100% secure in my mind.👍

The Richards series 3 lwb chassis I bought doesn't have the bracket for the intermediate pipe. However, their series 2 lwb chassis on their website does! Mine is definitely a S3 (prefix N) My original chassis, in the photo, did have the bracket. The exhaust is definitely the correct one for the...

Update: The new chassis is missing a bracket. As highlighted on photos of the old chassis I don't suppose anyone knows if they are available and from where? Tia

Afternoon campers. Trying to fit a new exhaust to Noel. It's a ****part exhaust (temporary measure, it was cheap!) fitted on to a Richards galvanized chassis. Ive worked out the bracket locations for the rear And middle But I'm sure there should be something here? I've got this bracket...

It seems Noel doesn't hate me after all. Yes, I was made to remove the bulkhead support. Yes, I had to drill and tap the front stud. But the awkward ones at the back, I squared up with a grinder, hammered on a small socket and wow! They unwound 😀
