amateur Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 one thing i am going to do, before i wind it up is sort out a better solution to all the routing of the fuel and air pipes.......they are an ugly mess.....the pipes are made of a very hard plastic...so i am thinking of starting again with matbe 2 or 3 inches of steel then doing the runs with a more flexible pipe and neatly bunching then together with cable ties....dont want to put them in a duct cause i wont be able to sort them if there is a problem..... Braided stainless? Wears well and looks the biz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 hhmmm i will look into that Braided stainless? Wears well and looks the biz I bought my hose and stainless banjos for the bikes by the length from Pirtek, cut it to fit, then took it back for them to crimp, rather than buying pre-made hoses. There may well be premade kits for landrovers though http://www.pirtek.co.uk/service-centres/3/norwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I had a call yesterday. "Go to the shrine" So I got in the motor and headed north towards to the shrine of our lady out Walsingham way. Half way there I was then this came through. No you **** "the shrine of our landy". Ooh it was beautiful. I pulled the cloth to the ground and there she sat. I touched her, smelt her oils. The Lost Arc of the Yare valley! Made my day when ditchman said he'd kindly take a look at mawthers mower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) The mower lives again......its nearly as old as me......but will cut another day....it has been blessed by the "holy landy of cantley"...........
