m8 As Lee says, you've got lots. The sad looking captive nut is the one i beat out of your sill. with precious little effort.

[jules_s]

100% sure.

Cool,

I'll check again in the morning then

And yes, I'm 110% up for the 20th.....In fact im intending to take the thing out for a blat tomorrow to balance out the 200 miles (Briz to bournemouth and back) we endured in the Pug yesterday

Jules, you might want to plan to come down this way to get a new hub fitted sometime The air power isn't quite as transportable as last week's kit. Makes mince meat of those bolts though.

Is it? It's M5 (with washer) in about a 1" square of red GRP.....i'm not bothered, just puzzled about where it came from!!

[JG]

No the wing nuts are M8. No idea where that bit of GRP is from then. Probably from the back of one of the jack nuts I replaced.

I'll look again in the morning

And having taken a better look at my wishbones etc this afternoon I'll take you up on that offer on the hub(s)...it may involve *cough* a bit more work in the surrounding areas though

[ChrisS1]

Where's the photos of it all back together and looking the same as it did before the new rad and hours and hours of labour? Great to hear its back together..when are you arranging the next run??

Hours and hours indeed Chris

With JJJ's efforts (trailer etc) JG and Lee, me and Dad probably 30ish hours.....so far it's cost me £650 in total. Respect due; I'm guessing double the £££ at least if I didn't have the VX.org force behind me.

Joe needs a shout for getting the PA rad over here on return post too.

Next meet? Let's face it the SW lot are crap at arranging them lol...JG and Coco are coming over for the CwC meet on the 20th May and I've suggested a cheddar meet around that...

Late April maybe for a get together?

I'm happy to sort a run/food out

[jules_s]

As you know, JG came over to help out recently......his comment

Meh, I've seen worse

I just realised that it hasn't EVER been cleaned under there

Minus the footrest which is now in the dishwasher..



Baby wipes didn't cut the mustard; broke out the Autosol.....this may take a tad longer than I had hoped lol



Then went off to find the wingnuts....which I did. At the very same time debs came out of the kitchen clutching three bags of bolts and asks whether they are what I was looking for....



Good lord I'm aching now....all good fun though

[CocoPops]

Omg, that "half-half" shot of the side sill. That cleans up well.

[jules_s]

I forgot this one



A/. It's now been cleaned

and

B/. I've still no idea. It's not from the front of the front or the rear of rear undertrays

[techieboy]

Well, at least it's red, so it's probably come from your car. Looks like an M5, so rear diffuser/undertray?

[ChrisS1]

Do you have silver cills Jules? I'm contemplating fitting my heater tomorrow...not feeling too keen to do it after seeing troubles you had 'just' removing a clam!!!

[jules_s]

Nope It was found under the front of the car (when it was parked uphill when you came over)...I've looked at it again and it's been broken for quite some time. probably fell off when me/old man jacked it up when it was facing down. i'm thinking one of the front rear undertray bolts atm We replaced all four M5 bolts to the front undertray..the other one was M8 fook knows why!?! Bled it to death. I took it to cheddar for a blat this afternoon and the coolant light came on mid run.....I've now got an emergency purchase 2 litre bottle of Evian in the boot

Nope.

Sorry the other nope was replying to Techie. Heater is a clam off job then?

TBH I didn't have any worries whatsoever....James and Lee had all that grief

As always...if you have the tools and knowledge the clam of is relatively easy

[CocoPops]

Yep that is a front undertray bolt Jules. From your "mods"

[jules_s]

Ahah A swift trip out to the car with a lighter confirms some missing GRP in the locality of one of my front clam 'modification area(s)

[SPLAM]

WOW, it's getting there then! Big to all the helpers.

[jules_s]

Arrrrrrrgh I've broken my back putting the dash in I've broken the stereo putting the dash in On a lighter note, the dash and binnacle are in (still working out a method for re-fitting the screws lol) and it looks Fillet and Lallier now
