DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Disco said… Some good points and well made [emoji106] Obviously it’s not a straightforward sale occurrence as the car was sold on after the rubber pipe ‘repair’ and the repair was actually done for the person that had commissioned Canford to build the car for them. I’ve personally tried to just sta...

If CC was of any concern of reputation they would fix it for you,it is not a big deal for them. Perhaps they just dont like northerners :) Probably. We are an acquired taste! [emoji23] Maybe they just don’t have time as they are too busy choosing the spec of their “workshop” car… https://uploads.ta...

Neil Bainbridge had some when I enquired with him so I probably can get them, or as you say get made up…

Was on when I bought it. Says Canford fitted it in the video…

I didn’t buy it direct from them Rob. I bought it through GT Classics in Andover.

This was just a video they had done at the time. Just sharing to show Nine One One which car is mine.. [emoji106]

That’s a really good idea actually.

Had forgotten about that!

That would certainly be easier in the short term than fannying about with the pipes…

I'm sorry, but correcting this horrendous bodge with a less horrendous bodge is not going to be the way forward.

I may have seen it when I first started looking but think they have always been out of stock.

It’s about £4K+ to remove sill, kidney bowl and rear 1/4 then rebuild and paint and the pipes are about £1k each…

Managed to get some time to get in the garage and move the cars around and get to inspect this oil pipe repair further… ...The rubber pipe is not the repair it was simply used to separate the lines from knocking together. I ran a light and camera down the sills in both directions and there are no ot...
