    old fuel tank

    It's not just the crap that's already inside the tank that's the problem really. It's the bugs that grow on the crap that's already in the tank. As long as there's food in the tank for them, and muck to hide away in, the bugs can keep growing, especially as diesel is now 7% Bio. I think it would...

    To many toys and a Commer van

    I think that's just about the right amount of toys. I love a little truck. A lovely collection you've got there. :)

    Commerfest 2020

    Not a Highwayman. It was a Jennings Roadranger on a Transit chassis if we're thinking of the same programme. But it did look like quite a nice one.

    Overdrive for Commer PB 1970

    Dummy shafts are easily made out of a length of 19mm plastic overflow pipe. As said, loads of older vehicles used the prop shaft yokes with coarse splines, and I would think most prop shaft rebuilders would have them in stock. Mine did.

    Hens teeth

    I made up a couple of new handle kits, (see my post in mechanical tips) one which I've fitted to my own jack, and now I have a spare. Dodgymark, if you're still looking, PM me your postal address and I'll be happy to send you the spare.

    Jack repair

    Following on from some other discussions about the wooden Jack handle knobs either being missing altogether or coming off easily, I set about sorting that too. The problem is that the turned wooden knobs are held on by a little pressed metal "top hat" clip which grinds away at the handle. I...

I wouldn't know what to look for in the widget catalogues. Add to that the retaining groove in the steel crank would be worn (that's why the handle comes off...

    Jean the Commer Van

    Incidentally, I expect you will know this already, but worth repeating. Those silly spacers were added at the last moment with cars already rolling off the production line because they discovered that the lights (side lights I think) were too low off the ground and didn't comply with...

    Led indicators

    Here's a quote from the Halfrauds website................ "LED bulbs are highly efficient and last a long time, but you'll only be able to benefit from them if your car's manufacturer has installed them - it's currently illegal to add LED bulbs to your car as an aftermarket installation."

    Disappearing Fuel

    My old Anglia used to suffer from disappearing fuel when I lived in Liverpool. In fact the whole thing disappeared once.
