4RE Leather

I have told him Papa, just to bring him back down the earth! He now has 1st refusal lol If not It can go on a 1st come basis. ,

Sky are a brokers and I dont think the other 2 are hence the higher price maybe!

Things have ground to a halt at the moment as I need to get this leather piston seal washer sorted out. I have found a shop that sells everything I need down in Bognor. I went to get in the car this morning to go down there and as soon as I sat in the seat the Sciatica said to me. You aint going no where!! So back to bed Arrrrhhh The shop cant send it to me as I need to take the piston down to get it matched up. Aparently there were several diferent ones. If I dont get it right 1st time I will have to dismantle it and damage the piston guide and backing plate that also need to be replaced. I can actually buy a 2nd hand rifle for half of what this is costing to do up, but where is the fun in that! And as soon as this is done I will do another one. I am already looking at a turn of the century BSA and a 60 year old pistol.# I wont use wood stain and varnish on the next one but go down the more traditional route of using a red stain that comes from a plant root, Before the stain you use a grain filler and sealer. Then its polished over a week with a special oil. I did the Lee Enfield in it and it looks awsome.

Are you into this then Dip?

I defo want a nosey:)

You know how I like a good play myself Dave:} My car should be renamed from the Abbey Organ to the Marmite car!!! I must admit I am enjoying it and it certainly seems to keep me occupied. I hope to eventually get the whole interior covered in leather but that needs some thought as Redline Goods have supplied everything so far, and to get the dash and centre consul covers made it would mean sending doner parts over to Poland and I would need to source the parts. I have been after a set of HR door panels as it seems even some of the earlier GT's did not have the leather insert panel that the door arm window control panel butts up against. Mind you like the gear gaitor they are not leather but a nasty thin cheap vinal ! So if anyone knows where I can get a set I would be obliged.

I can get the headrests picked up and put the covers on here and do a quick photo blow by blow account if you guys want! Other wise it will be a before and after:)

Going back to steering wheel covers. As some of you may have seen there is a selection of leather covers going for £12.50 each on ebay from this guy. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Italian-Leather-Steering-Wheel-Cover-NISSAN-I-/180886700905?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ANissan|Model%3A350+Z&hash=item2a1db00369 Can I suggest you avoid as they have 82 negatives in the last 12 months. I contacted 3 of there customers who have bought the covers and they all say the same thing. What you see in the picture is not what you get. They are ill fitting. Poor quality and one was not even stitched up. When contacted they were ignored or greeted with rudeness. Just thought I had better mention it! You get what you pay for and i thought they were 2 good to be true. All the more reason to get one from Redline Goods who we all know. The quality of there items is 2nd to none and I have 12 items form them:)

I am still aiming to go to Bognor Papa on Tuesday and get the leather washer and bits for the Air rifle restoration if you want to pop along!

There is going to be a delay on the fitting folks as I had to cancel handing the wheel over. Adverse reaction to spinal jabs on Wednesday so stuck in bed:(

And they are bigger, and they are illuminated at night.... And they are bigger, and they are illuminated at night.... I never noticed that as I took a set out a few days ago and never saw any signs of lighting!!

I am thinking of giving all my stuff away Dave. about 120-150 tank size Aqua 1 a year old Every time i go into hospital i have to get someone to come in and look after them. Plus It hurts like heck cleaning them out.

Redlind Goods forum trader. Click on the link in my signature and it will take you directly to them. Then go the headrests on the left and navigate the dropdown menu. Pick your colour which can be plain or 2 tone. There are some good examples on there. follow the checkout proceedure and pay via payPal. Takes about 2 weeks depending on the design:)]

To give those who dont know an insight intoAir Rifle mainsprings and there power, here are a few I have obtained; The max legal limit in UK is 12 ft lbs or 12 foot pounds of kinetic energy. Top one is the original i took out of the Diana G80 restore project and is approx 9ft lbs 2nd is a 12 ft lbs legal limit for none FAC or Fire Arms certificate Holder This is the original factory from my HW97 in picture in thread. 3rd one is a OX spring accelerator and is approx 17-20 ft lbs and is the one I hope to use as it is smaller diameter and a direct replacement for the G80. Notice the spring has square coils not round! This makes for a much stronger compression and is up to 40% stronger than a factory fitted round one! 4th was the one I wanted to use but would not fit as to fat. Again 17-20 ft lbs 5th Is for a Webley Patriot and my 1st FAC rifle. Approx 32 ft lbs of energy. I believe the rating for this is comparable to a small car if not more but I will out of interest get the figures. I might see if I can get this in the HW97 without having to take a couple of coils out. Incidently they make a power spacer in all sizes as well. These are like a fat washer the width of 1 coil. They are inserted 1st into the piston chamber prior to the spring and eash one can put up to 1-2 ft lbs increase. You may wonder how I intend to compress the spring to get it in the chamber. Well a shop bought compressor can cost upwards of £150-£200 and i am not paying that! so I intend to make one using a G clamp or a Sash clamp over the weekend for about £50.

Come on jumping get into gear lol!!!
