Beware, as this process does eat aluminium also.

Maybe coat the aluminium in varnish/lacquer that can be removed later (without using dichloromethane... that will also react with the aluminium!!)

Electrolysis is great. Another method you can use involves blackstrap molasses. Add a tiny amount of sulphuric acid to a 1:6 solution of molasses:water (this creates 'sulphured blackstrap molasses'). Leave it in a container (preferably in a warm environment, but not indoors as it smells very bad) fo...

Thanks but mine are Hella heads, not the Bosch versions so I don't think it applies

I have a pair of genuine smoked Hellas. Can I swap these to the UK orientation by replacing the rear caps with UK versions? Are said items interchangeable?

Cheers.

Genuine smoked Hellas.

Unfortunately I imported them from Germany so they won't let them through an MOT...

Matt. Your heroic behaviour does not go unnoticed.

I'm very sorry that the chromie project had to come to an end Ferg. I would've probably grabbed some bits too but only witnessed the aftermath... I hope some time later you're able to pick it up again.

Right, I'm finally sold on the Jimmy Hill!

Anyone's opinion welcome, would it look shite in white though?

Dark blue leather plus viking ancestry (I drive with the window open all year round; hmmm fuel economy?) = near death experience.

Still very much worth it for lovely leather

You must drive like a hero!

RS is 3 piece? Get the 3 piece :winkeye:

Get her on a hunter machine.

Free bump and good luck!

My coilovers squeak when they aren't clean...

^This!

This is nice.

I'm loving the mineral blue.

Also, I'd try to get a staggered set of Borbet Bs if you can...

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/jsbr32/DSC08886.jpg Dare to be a little different. Obviously, genuine BBS RS are a beautiful thing and it's a shame the Borbet Bs aren't splits but they look lovely. Providing you don't have the black detail on the earlier pic above. I cannot understand why ...

This would be pretty damn slick (in a 90s way) but it's a kick in the face of retro! I wouldn't even change my analogue clock to digital, let alone put the trip computer in there (despite being hugely curious as to my fuel consumption!).

To each their own but I would bet you're the first to try this!

Opieoils. Excellent prices, good advice.

If the box is what makes it heavier, then surely that weight is distributed further back?

I bet an M30 turbo would be fantastic

That is one happy cat!!

Sepang bronze looks nice.

I didn't see my lovely platanengrun in the colour patches?!

Sorry I took so long!

He'd already have thought of this

First fill your tank half-full, get an acetylene torch, position yourself beneath your tank, wearing a shell-suit with a John Players Special hanging out your mouth...

A lovely new tank is the way to go!

Mmm hypno-wheels! My eyes hurt.

think its more to do with the rigth side of the boot not shutting as tight/flush as the left, can it all be ajusted ? Not from the catch. Someone else could tell you if taking the boot off and repositioning how it's fastened could be a solution. I'm just guessing you can do that! Has she had a shun...

I forgot to write this ages ago! I was just reminded by clearing out my inbox...

Very easy to deal with, accommodating, swift, top bloke

Gear gaitor stitched with precision. Perfect colour and fit.

You could ask for nothing more!

Thanks Toby.

Good stingy advice Jim!

I wonder if anyone could ever trump my 3" swimming area?

I'll take them both Matt.

I thought you were joking as I read it!

So glad you're not!
