Re: Steel garages

These buildings have several options regarding insulation. I wouldn’t have one without it.

Steel garages

Hi all,

I have pretty much decided on a steel building for my new workshop at home. I think I’ll want something 8m x 6m with 1 or 2 doors on the long side and an access door on the short. Has anyone bought and put up such a building and have any recommendations?


Cheers

Re: Converting BT5 to A

Sportwagen did this for Ian Wright I think. Some time ago now when cars weren't so valuable.

Re: Rough running on Zeniths

Quick update. I drove from Amsterdam to Antwerp with no troubles apart from the searing 31 deg heat. Went to the BBT pre convoy BBQ and then on the way back to the hotel after a fuel stop the car started backing and popping like Nov 5th! I spent all the rest of the evening with willing volunteers ch...

Re: Rough running on Zeniths

Wouldn't hurt to do coil and leads too. I have been using them for 8 years. The coil wasn't new either.

Re: Rough running on Zeniths

Hi Roy, Blew out the jets but the idle screws are still doing very little. At the moment the car is running rather hot and subsequently the oil press is low. Saying that it is about 30c! I also found oil weeping out of the top of my pressure sender. Maybe I can find a new one at Hessisch my next des...

Re: Rough running on Zeniths

Yes, my last night in Amsterdam. Of to BBT in Antwerp tomorrow, Hessisch on Friday. It's perfectly possible I have an air leak. The car ran OK on the way over but not it's old self yet. Blew out all the jets this evening so we'll see how it goes. Will try to pick up some gaskets from somewhere. Chee...

Rough running on Zeniths

Hi all, My car has started to run a bit rough while pull from below 3000 rpm and has lost its usual smooth idle. It sound a bit rich and has that hunting sound. I cleaned out the idle mixture screws and dialled them in. A couple of them have ridges and could do with replacing. The oddest thing is th...

Re: Speedster sold on 'bring-a-trailer'

I watched this with great interest too. I was ready to sell my A coupe when it was stuck around £80K but alas £200K was too much for my dreaming. I would have bought it and driven it, well maybe fixed the floor.
