I 've also got some stainless steel pop rivets somewhere..

I knew about the board for lining boiler rooms when I lived in the UK, but here they just use plasterboard. Ah, now that's a thought. How about plasterboard sprayed with Hammerite ? I've got both.

I think you are right Pete, about the fitting. I in fact for delicate souls like me, it would more than a pig, probably a downright illegitimate swine. Back to hand-made heat shields.

Unfortunately the only sourse of asbestos rope available here would be by stealing some from my oldest Bentley, but with the blower running at full chat it could be terminal. Seriously (!) I wonder if the glass fibre rope I use to seal the doors of the log-burner might suffice. In case of doubt...

Which begs the question, ....and you know this, how ?

Yes, but is he telling ?

Sorry to labour the point but has any member any experience of height sensor heat shields on a P38., particularly on V8's with their glow-in-the-dark exhaust pipes ? Should I replace them immediately or risk cooking something expensive ? Has anyone replaced or ignored ? Has anyone even made...

Point taken. Thank you. I will be looking at the other side too. Not sure about ceramics though.

I don't know why I couldn't find details before, but I've just googled the subject. Any number of pictures. Looks a lot more complicated than necessary, if indeed it IS necessary. I referred to the RH sensor being the only one on the car that was near anything hot. I am reliably informed that...

Thanks Brian. That's reassuring. I'd just love to have a day with enough time in which to get bored. Just as a matter of interest I looked up engines for DSE's. Hadn't realised that they were 6-cylinder Beemers, not 8's. Does that mean that the exhaust pipe(s) don't glow red in the dark ? All I...

'Allo, folks. After all the fantastic help I received recently in creating a fully functioning EAS in my P38, I hesitate to raise anything concerned with that particular issue but....There's always a but isn't there ? I had completely forgotten that along the tortuous route to a suspension...

Talking to each other on here, obviously.

Sorry I even mentioned The Summer Game. Now I'm worried about my Popping Crease. O.K. So who is going to explain what that is ?

Wot are they bletherin' about ? Scotland has never heard of cricket.

1. Nobody told me that there was cricket on tonight, although being of a squeamish disposition, I'm not sure I want to watch our current collection of flannelled fools. 2. Is that something to do with an Opry house ? 3.Is Ian Wright a subscriber to this superior intellectual forum. 4. Wot...

Obviously it didn't take 30 seconds. I just clicked on Post Reply and someone wisely reinstated me. Now, am I permitted to add anything such as my military and political decorations under my name ? I note that several members have pithy observations or wordage appended. Always assuming that...

OK who nicked my name plate ? Even my "Member" is missing ! Obviously somebody who took offence at a dodgy translation of my Nom de Plum - Pression de Gonflage. That's almost Epsom Green by the way, which as everyone knows is the only really correct colour...for anything. And I've just...

My postscript ? I had been chattin' with Stanleysteamer on another thread and he popped up here, just a coincidence. Thassall.

".........................Anyway, my troubles are pathetic compared to others' so ignore me! Don't often get stressed. ....." Have a nice end of afternoon and evening peeps!...." Hello Stanley Just wanted to acknowledge your observation about other folks' troubles. Over a lifetime Mme de...

Colour rendering (that's technical stuff) on my screen does not show clearly, but as he said the best colour, one of course assumes that he is referring to Epsom Green. Why do dealers so often call it Epson Green ? Must have all been printer dealers in their previous lives.
