    1/4 light Seals

    It would require someone with more knowledge than I, but I wonder if 3D printing can bring the cost of producing these down? Perhaps the tooling (or the seals themselves?) could be produced via someone like MyMiniFactory? http://www.myminifactory.com/ It seems that you can print metal as well as...

    Chassis numbers - Is yours tax exempt ??

    Now that 1974 is the cut off date, I guess there are a few Commer owners who will no longer have to pay VED.

    Wow. I want it. Trouble is it apparently costs in the region of $7000 NZ dollars to ship a car here.

    Aluminium petrol tanks??

    I'm curious, and know nothing about these things, but with the filler neck only halfway up the tank, wouldn't it be possible only to fill it halfway?

    Commers pop art

    The Art of Noise were great. Something so utterly pretentious never should have worked but it did. Close Up is a remix of Close to the Edit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sFK0-lcjGU There aren't many hit singles whose main riff is played on a VW Golf starter motor.

    My Commer plans

    I've just been reading about it. Bit of a minefield. I've asked on a Ford Scorpio forum about the sizes of the engines. Dozer's 2.8 looks like it has loads of room around it. Mind you I see he did have to tweak the body a bit I note that you can add stuff to the chassis, just not take it away.

    My Commer plans

    quote: Originally posted by Jon Hello and welcome Have a look at my build "Commer with Boost" you will see how little room there is in the engine bay. A few on here have chopped the floor in the back of the van and mid mounted the engine but eats into the space in the back of the van. I...

    My Commer plans

    Ahh, so it has a name, searching which leads to loads more pics, and it's location. Wonder if the owner would sell it? I had no idea original engine mounts were necessary. That's an important bit of info, thanks. And yeah, I've always had a soft spot for Commers. Never really liked those...

    My Commer plans

    Hello everyone, Once upon a time I saw this photo on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/arthur1/4560641617/sizes/m/in/photostream/ And just fell in love with the look of the thing. The customisation is just so subtle. My intention now is to have myself a Commer that looks just like it. None...

    The Disc Brake conversion thread

    I would go with Rover SD1 discs and calipers. They are the correct PCD and are designed to fit under 14" wheels. Rimmer Bros supply everything, availability is good and they are cheap. They have 4 pot calipers at £50 each, discs are £15 a pop. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009014...
