    Spit it out Bex! Why don't you come right out and say what you really think.

    I followed a convoy of Morris Minors down the Newell Highway on the way to Natfly a few years ago. They must have been meeting at Dubbo or Parkes, can't remember now but all of a sudden they started coming towards us in the other lane after we passed through their destination.

    Rather get stuck behind them than a bunch of SOBs on the way to an RV rally.

    A question is only daft if you should have asked it and didn't. Welcome and fire away with the questions, many of us will learn from the answers to your questions as much as you do.

    Lifted this off Facebook Geoff, acknowledgements to the owner who ever they are.

    The new seats have different cushions and a very deep recess in the front edge to accommodate twin sticks. The mounting may be difficult though they are still a factory option. I have had a play with two kits with them now, building the seat frames and buckets in the first one was more fun than building my first door. Watching Jeremy put all the flat bits together to get bucket seats, you could see he was enjoying it too, I was just looking over his shoulder giving him encouragement and the odd advice. They have really made their 3D design program work for it's money this time. Shame about the weight though.

    You could retrofit an armrest much easier, wouldn't be bad on the pilots side when you are doing circuits, for you throttle arm. I had one from Jeremy's kit built over at Reg's but I misplaced it before I built my doors. It was a pax side one so the holes would have needed a bit of reaming in places.

    You would need to strip right down to the floor, the bulkhead across the front of the tunnel is really flat. The seats are a fabricated bucket seat, absolute genius design but they have about 3Kg of rivets in each side. You would find them a bit squeezy I think.

    It is standard in the new kits, they also have armrests and adjustable seats( 4 positions) now.

    Apparently labels are no longer issued for current PLBs so you have to have an app on your phone now to prove your unit is current if you get a ramp check. My label expired but the unit still had over five years to run, I had to ring to get a current label issued about twelve months ago, so these changes must have been about to come in then.

    Did you mean "Same as MH370 expired!!" or "Same as MH370 expired??" Do you know it was expired?

    Did type a post this morning about a Rotax imitating a Jab, but self censored before pressing post just for your benefit. Have more faith!

    Where your rims black from the factory or did you paint them?
  15. rankamateur
    Are the tundra tyres as thick in the bead as the Condor? Condors won't go on if you drill the rim as per the manual, you will only have 2/3 of a hole to pull the stem out.

    Do you have trouble with dust in your spray booth?

    Buy new tubes with right angle centred brass stems. Redrill nothing, go together like a piece of cake, through the provided half holes. If you do go the redrilling route, fit the provided black plastic plugs in the original holes, be aware that the supplied tyres are very thin in the bead and if you upgrade the tyres later, their bead will be much thicker and once again the stem won't come out the hole. You will then have to weld up the hole and redrill further from the rim flange.

    That blue is a nice contrast to the red anyway.

    Sitting here listening to my cows chewing outside the garden fence while I have my breakfast. It is really nice to hear, but wouldn't be happening if just two falls of rain had missed us. My daughter and my whole family ate too much chocolate this Christmas. She is a first year primary school teacher and her grade two class loved her. One of the parents, knowing that we are graziers and She grew up farming, made a donation to Aussie Helpers instead of adding even more to the chocolate high.

    Just like Paul Newman spaghetti sauce, These blokes don't have to help other people, they choose to because they can afford to and they care. Can't stand listening to FT pouring his negative crap on Dick because he uses his recognised face to further the cause. His face is part of his gift to society. Dick Smith foods will still be doing good long after Dick is done for and good on him for it. See Glen McGrath at it again boosting his ego to promote the breast cancer charity that he put his name to, on the telly every year, without fail. These blokes never fail.

    Did you used to enjoy travelling freely to and from China Bex? Oh well there must be some weary salt miners needing some fresh help up there somewhere in northern Mongolia.

    But you wouldn't tow it around Australia would you Keith?
