71 Early Bay (formerly known as Superdry)

Got a set of Tor-Q bits, along with a grease cartridge and a new hole punch for when the waistline trim goes on.

Where from dude?

Patchway Autos

CSP replied to me today regarding the pin at the base of the shifter not clearing the reverse plate.
I can move the position of the pin by rotating the t-handle shifter.
Each full rotation will move the pin position by 1.5mm

It worked.
Needs a road test but I think it's nailed now.

I also drilled the door and fitted the pillar spot.

Fitted the 56Deluxe steering raiser today after Mrs C picked it up from the Post Office for me.

Did they have any shorter bolts?

I'd just mark them up and cut them shorter

Job done!

Or get Nomates to turn them down into spikes

The bolts do look a bit shit, but then, Bays are shit anyway.
I'm going to order up some shorter bolts, as they look neater than if I just chop them down.

How? ....if you cut straight and file after they will be as good as shorter one (because they will be ...lol)

This^^^

You're right, but being a bit sad/nerdy I want all the bolts cock on the same length.

Unless I mark them and chop them off with a Dremel. [penny drops]

and take some better pics of the light on the door



P.s (whats wrong with marking the bolts and using a junior hacksaw? have you get a vice?

I'm all spiked out dude .......they took ages to make .....lol

I have got a vice and hacksaw. I'll whizz them back out and redo them.

It was a pain as the heads had been polished I think and the Allen key didn't fit properly.


I'll put the light back together as I have been trying to find an led bulb for it.

This the bulb Im trying to find an led alternative for


But bolted back together it looks like this.

you could use this to hold your deluxe trim on chap.. they use it to bond solar panels to caravan roofs... a little bit of deluxe trim should be no problem!

looks just like a workshop inspection light bulb

Fitted some bling to the front of SuperDry today(grill trim surround)


Then fitted some round the back too


And set up my GoPro, ready for the get-together tomorrow afternoon

go-pro looks good
is it tethered to the inside of the door?

Yes.

SuperDry now has a nice new MoT certificate.
I also had the gearbox oil flushed and replaced.
Apparently the stuff that came out was minging, and was frothy! That ain't right!
It can only help with my dodgy gear shift that I've never been able to quite nail since I've had the van.

In my quest to improve the gear shift I replaced the front section of the gear shift rod and the front bush.
Didn't get a chance to take it out as we were out last but might drag it out this evening when Mrs Scoops comes back.

Tonight I have been out and tightened the wing nut by 1.5-2 turns on the clutch cable.

Took it out for a spin and it seemed fine, but think I need a run up the motorway. I was going to take it to work on Friday morning but I'm stopping in Bristol on Thursday night.

Might scoot down to Apex or somewhere at the weekend.
