Joe Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 A pleasure.[8D] I hope you'll be pleased with it all. The Dynax S50 comes in aerosols and plastic containers. I've found the aerosols make it very easy to get it into all the nooks and crannies as they come with a 2' long thin tube with a nifty little turned brass nozzle on the end. A bit better than the thickish tube with a nail stuck in it that Waxoyl supply. If your chaps have some kit to spray it into the chassis etc though, it's cheaper in bulk. Cheers, Joe.

opel2000 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yep! fuel pump bracket was my handywork alright. [] Shame that no-one out there is going to be willing to make whatever anybody asks them to at my old prices anymore. Quite possibly more to the point that it is a damn shame that it is going to be almost impossible to have anything made anywhere, by anyone............. Now I have gone Thanks Robah [] Shiny bits http://www.customsolutions.me.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2908642343 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Have to say that i will miss the ability to phone Clive ask if is possible to have something made, and hey presto he makes it. A real real shame that Clive is not doing this anymore. I have bought lots of bits of Clive and they are all going into my project car. All i can say is all Clive's work is of a superior quality and standard. Thanks Clive for all your hard work, support, advise etc it is appreciated.

GTEPETE Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Looking good, how will you register the car via the dvla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2908642343 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Pete; Still in discussion with the DVLA on this subject as trying to keep it registered under the old car details, not working so far but who no's. Any suggestions... Any chance at a peak at your B8GTE? Let me no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maher the hermit Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 When i was going to rebuild this shell i wouldnt have told DVLA just refit the old chassis I:D plates on the front nose cone, the shell hadnt been stamped with a vin number so whos to question a car this old?

CalCol Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I'm with Mick - that's exactly what I was going to do when I was going to re-shell my Manta in the UK. I thought about trying to register it as a brand new car (still working on the correct percentage of new parts...) but the latest regs would be tricky for a Manta to meet. And I definitely didn't want a Q plate. Nice to see the car coming along well, John! Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2908642343 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi Nick & Mick; From what you have both said I will take the old chassis from the nose cone and put it on the new nose cone. Should slove the problem. Many thanks for the advice Nick and Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalCol Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Good job, those are the difficult bits. Did you get the bracket with the compressor or just the compressor? Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
