Cheers! A picture or something in there might come in handy for someone one day.

Yes I did buddy I just forgot to get a picture of that.

This weekend I managed to get all the new linkage parts fitted and have adjusted it all up so gear selection is now sweet as a nut. Lots of picture and words in the last two posts here. (Not really a "how to", just a dialogue on my photos) https://thebigredvan.wordpress.com" onclick=&...

Just wasn't sure if anyone had done a similar thing before and could recommend a solvent that didn't attack the paint too severely. Going to be t...

Hi all I'm bound to have posted this in the wrong section again but here goes. The back of my panel van is ply lined and carpeted but it's a bit tatty and I want to remove some of it to re-wire. It's been ply lined in large sheets floor to ceiling and then carpet stuck over that and the remaining me...

If anyone's interested I've started putting my progress here...
