Hi Old Crock

Firstly that was not an insult merely a suggestion, as surely there is more in this life to do than post an inordinate number of pictures on the Forum.

I do have an interest in old vehicles, however there is a place for this sort of information. Such as a dedicated forum page, a stand alone webpage, Facebook etc etc etc

Posting all these pictures uses up a lot of space. Also, as has been mentioned there may be copyright issues.

As to calling him Audrey that is my error, the eyesight not being what it was. Andrey it will be.

So Andrey, perhaps you should look at the options available to you to post this information, if a single picture is indeed information ,as it has no accompanying detail of use.

Have a good day and a happy new year.

Christ almighty how many ruddy pictures are there going to be.

Why not start your own website or facebook thingy.

Or get a life!

I Agree with Paho also if this is to be of all AC's then maybe the general section of the forum is better placed.

Hi Col

A festive period, so boring as you get older. ;)

The reason for using Perspex (if they ever send me the bits I've ordered, if not I will try some MDF) is that I can refine the shape and get it ready for either laser cut from 10 and 12mm  steel plate or CNC'd in one piece, if I find a suitable place to CNC it the it can be scanned in.

Also looking a some alloy calipers from Hi Spec et al. These would be lighter than the Landrover ones.

It is a slow moving project as I find better alternatives.

Had some great help from the fellas on NRSA.

I had a Chevette and then a Firenza, both great little cars.

Hi Guys hope you had a good un.

Just a quick update re disc brake conversion.

Mocked up some Caliper brackets in 12mm ply. Going to do do them in Perspex to get a better smoother template for them to be laser cut in steel.

All looks to fit.

see pics.

Anyone seen this ad on Ebay for 2 totally shot 2 litres at £6500 really.

I made a offer at way below that and knocked back.

He thinks the 2 door is rarer than a 4 door.

I'd take the 2 door but at a sensible price.

Hi ya

If you do have a leaf spring issue I have used http://www.owensprings.co.uk/ in the past on a Landrover and Ford Pop.

Very efficient and know what they are doing.

Here's a couple of pics of the Ol' Girl on a day to Brooklands Museum with a few like-minded fellas from the NSRA.

Had a great day out and a run. Nice wander around the museum with coffee and cakes (very nice fruit scones) etc etc.

Maybe we could similar with a group of AC's. ::)

Cheers
