And I'm panicking about piggin spotlamps 😂

The Internet is confusing to us older people, conflicting evidence, one site says 1972 petrol one says 1971 ev. I phoned my insurance company and asked the nice lady if it was ok to put spotlamps on, she said it was and gave me a 15% discount on my renewal, so I've ordered the 300W lasers I had...

It's a strange confusing world, that electric on YouTube I posted is registered as a 1972 petrol, surely with the rules as they are now it should be a Q electric? I'm afraid to put spotlights on mine as you have to instruct your insurance company as its a modification! I'm glad I don't need a...

20 years ago it probably wasn't possible in 10 years it would be viable?

🤔

I'm getting on a bit and after having this vehicle for thirty years I'm just getting a little twitchy, I'm probably paranoid!

No they don't sound unreasonable, I personally just thought it of concern they may change the rules on what is thought of as a "chassis repair " to be a major modification.

Whether the chap is desperate for views or not, the government survey is real and if they are trying to bring in more stringent rules it might be of concern, I wouldn't want mine on a Q plate because I had a galvanised chassis replacement and then have to pay ved.

Just something I overheard from the world economic forum.

With the government in it's current state I would think anything is possible, they'll be thinking of all the money they can rake in, we're all well aware they want to take away our freedom and our steak 🐮🥩

It's this measurement im interested in, if anyone had an old cylinder lying around :vb-bat:

Now could be an ideal opportunity to buy one 😂

Just out of curiosity, if anyone has their drums off I'd be interested seeing what the depth the shoe seat sits from the back plate if you had the time? As I can't find the relevant information :vb-bat:

Ah, the plate, yes I know the plate he referred to but taking that out only reduces the diameter not the height from the back plate, the outside of the shoe is hitting the inside of the drum, the original cylinder shoe seat is 20mm from the back plate, the replacement is 23mm, removing the plate...

It is a good result and a lesson learnt!

Well after a few emails back and forth the company sent me a full refund without me sending the useless things back, but I'll send them anyway they are no good. I did have to wonder on some of the statements in some emails! "I've just spoken to my supplier You need to remove the small long...

It is an issue, a couple of years ago I bought a fuel tank for a 2A from britpart, had to cut an inch out for the filler tube as they'd made a batch wrong, had I been keeping it it wouldn't have gone on, but brake parts or anything safety related should be more strict in manufacturing, nothing...

Well I just put some old ones on a mate had off an old 109 and they went straight on no issues, I'm going to take it up with the seller and in the mean time order some TRW ones as Steve mentioned, thanks for your help!
