Hello, Hope to get some pics up end of week of Charlie, getting excited now - he's looking great. Anyone know the curb weight off the top of there head on the Autohome, can only find the GVW of 2266kg. Must be close to 2t?? Tom

I admire your cool head and diagnostic skills, although from here I cannot hear the swearing! I tend to panic for a few days/weeks before plucking up the confidence to follow reason. Tom

Sorry I'm late! penblwydd hapus from mid Wales!

I was well out of my comfort zone replacing the windscreen seal. And the one on the auto home top was even worse fun and games, took about 4 attempts to get that in. I just can't see how people put sealant in as they fit it all - must make a horrific mess. I have siliconed mine after fitting -...

no more than a disapproving grunt

SO........ on with the highwayman. Charlie (autohome) is nearing completion. Interior refit is almost there. Just got some bits and bobs to do before final oil and the like. The Campercar is rather sorry for itself. had to take out of my second workshop along with my Mk1 golf project as I...

wow well done! I need some of the insert for charlies window surrounds so that's a great lead. Tom

Hello, Hope everyone made it through the festivities in one piece. Work has started today on the highwayman. On the sides I wanted to inject a little something, along the lines of the Jennings. A tapered strip of colour edged in metal strip. I remember (or dreamt) that you could/can get some...

quite a productive day :)

Hi Colin, Sent you a message ;) Tom

Out of interest Colin what did the yoke cost you?

Wow great info there, well done. I was hoping to pick up my box tomorrow but something fell through so wont be on the road now til next week. The guy with the box has a number of props so he says, so depending on there condition and price I might get one from him or take up the challenge of...

Yes landed festival, basically in my back garden. Near Newbridge on Wye. I remember being awoken by 2 rather inebriated punters a 4am, one demanding to the other that the van was a french ice cream van! Tom

ah..which picture? We picked him up in Gloucester and dragged him all the way to wildest mid Wales. Not skipped a beat to be (yet)! Tom

I see, so what happens when in 3rd OD and you drop to second with it 'on'. Does it smoothly jump out of OD of it's own accord? Sorry for the questions - it'll all be very apparent I guess once fitted - just wondering which route to take with the wiring/switch. Tom

okeydoke. I've never had overdrive so a little mystified at the moment. So say I have a normal on/off switch, what happens when i'm in OD 3rd and I go upto 4th...? Will it then be in OD 4th?

Well bagged me a OD box for £100 :) although think it's a course splined variety. Seller looks like they have a prop to match so hopefully happy days. Lets hope it's a gooden! Tom p.s. can anyone point me to a suitable switch and relay - Panky you have me scared of 'new' relays??

That is interesting - apologies I missed your earlier post. I think it will be a couple of weeks at least until I get started. I'm juggling options right now but a couple of boxes I am eyeing up look like good candidates. And if you can get a 'coarse' splined yoke that should keep me happy as...

goodness, this has taken a turn for the worst :eek:

Thanks guys, yes read your troubles with your warn... ahem, shaft. Sounded exhausting. Martin do you have any coarse yokes left? Tom
