Dapinky and Clemo's Door Window Fixing Clinic

Postby Simon_P » Thu 11.04.2019, 13:02

Mine's knackered and I didn't manage to follow the crowd drawing demonstration at Hethel last year. Seeing as it was such a popular feature how about repeating again chaps?

For advanced planning what bits do I need to bring?

P.S. what is the problem with the New Topic Button?

At risk of seeming like a party-pooper, I don't know how much 'spare' time we'll have on the Saturday.

Obviously, if there is a window, I'm happy to do some spannering (if my own car is still working!) (see what I did there??)

Failing that, maybe Friday afternoon or Sunday morning for those staying local - or even after CC 'closes' and before the curry.

Don't forget Clemo volunteered you to fit a set (or nine) of Samcos Pinky.

Thats called camping .....

The thing with fixing the window is we need the parts ..
As luck might have it we may be being supplied with some bits to sell from a man overseas .

Believe me I'm no expert, there is only one :bowdown: but I don't think he does south of the border, it's too warm and dry :lol:

I have a set of Jamie's seals that need fitting and i don't mind buying him a wee dram or 2 so its not so dry for him.

rear wheel bearings are easily doable (if the weather is kind enough).....

.... 'A' pillar seals are straightforward enough, but time consuming to do properly (lots of cleaning of the old channels) - fitting the new ones is a quickishjob though.
