Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - a Workshop Day Today

[beko1987]

Even I want to have a fiddle and have something off it for the gooner so don't sorry Ken, it's kept/keeping many others going!

[beko1987]

Wandering up for a mooch Ken?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Slight change of plan at this end -Bramz is dropping off the Stilo here this morning, a combo of this and absolutely appalling weather means I am probably not gonna be at the FOD today after all

[beko1987]

Boooo

 

I'm leaving now, see you at yours in a bit Chris

Rain has fucked play here as well. 

 

Chrissakes. 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I'm on a 5-day weekend. Medium-heavy rain forecast every single fucking day.

[purplebargeken]

Sadly no mooching due to others things that I must do. Shitty weather isn't helping either. 

 

Happy spannering guys.

[Bucketeer]

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

^ I hate you.

 

 

[Split_Pin]

Suns out at least!

[Bucketeer]

[Split_Pin]

Huh

[beko1987]

When the sun was out it was beautiful! Even the rain stopped lasting very long in the afternoon.

 

We got quite a lot done. Most important is that I have 2 rear arms, the bolts that go with them and rear springs (just in case) for Mr Split Pin. I'll get them boxed up and Pm sent in the week.

 

I took a few pics

 

I thought Rover 75s were supposed to be executive wafters.... Didn't think much of the seats it must be said

 

 

 

Did some rust fixing

 

 

 

 

And now I'm home and showered and hungry! Great day in the sleepy field.

[Split_Pin]

Flipping heck Beko, thanks so much, really really appreciate that. Chris and yourself will have a PM when I get home re Paypal details.

[beko1987]

No worries. Very easy actually! Only way I differed from the instructions was to undo all the hub end then back under and lift the arm up which changed the angle of the loose inner bolt so it came out the hole!

 

Id be amazed if the postage is more than £15 for parcelforce 24h, I've posted heavier vacuums for the same price. Will get it boxed up one lunchtime in the week for you, send me your address whenever! Both arms are mintola, just a little bit of road dirt on them

[Split_Pin]

Fantastic, thanks again for this, crap weather for it too! Cheers also to Chris for the bargain.

That’s like a Monet or Pisaro.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Great work chaps

[GoGently]

Thanks for the bits Chris . Did the teaspoon screwdriver shot come out? Operation Visa one FINE day. . . .

[Six-cylinder]

At least it was not solid rain just showers!

 

The main event was to remove the 75 rear arms for Split_Pin and Beko lay under the car for some time and worked hard and achieved this. A friend of GoGently wanted some 75 bits but had to leave early so the Silver Team had to take the alternator off the 75.

[Six-cylinder]

Mrs6C had requested we free the stuck rear brake on our red herald 13/60 convertible so it could be moved away from the barn to get some hay out and the Silver Team took charge of this with success. Problem was the other rear wheel was also stuck since the last time we moved it so it all had to be done for a second time. Not only did we free the brakes but we also moved the car to a new parking spot with so many helpers.

[beko1987]

Six Cylinder removed the alternator in the end. The silvers had spent a good 20 minutes wiggling it trying to get it to move, Chris came up and just lifted it out!

 

I did my monthly exercise and moved some wood too, since I had wellies and could transverse the boggy bits

[Six-cylinder]

When the 626 turned up I has forgotten it had been sold so was surprised to see Bucketeer who had come to try and fix the electric driver’s window on the 626. Some success just a bit of finishing off but the rain came.

 

[richardmorris]

‘‘Twas solid rain here.

Sorry I couldn’t join the fun, but have paperwork to do for the end of the month.

[Six-cylinder]

GoGentley visited with his new Xantia and we contemplated the future of his Visa he has stored with me.

[Six-cylinder]

Tea was indeed served but no spoon could be found so a screwdriver got the job. 

[320touring]

Epic work chaps! Look forward to seeing the arms so I can gie Mr Pins a haun a fitting.

[quicksilver]

Tea was indeed served but no spoon could be found so a screwdriver got the job. 

I found a spoon in GoGently's tool bag when I was looking for a spanner Once again, a most enjoyable and productive day was had by all.

[Split_Pin]

Brilliant work and thanks so much to Beko for lying under the car in not the best of weather for removing these arms and to 6cyl for his generosity in providing them to me at a fraction of the ebay cost.

[beko1987]

It wasn't raining then, plus if it was it would have been dry under the car!

 

It rained when I was moving wood, then rained literally as we packed away and called it a day, then hovered by Alex giving him support* as he frantically got his window up!
