 Re: Violet the 1986 Special
Hey!
I was up in Exeter today in my yellow POS. I was keeping an eye out for a nutter with a zooooom lense! Guildhall car park was RAMMED!

 Re: Violet the 1986 Special
Well I noticed a drip on the floor that was coming from one of the pipes, just looked at it and the plastic snapped and soaked everything in screen wash!
No the engine is still in my office. Just haven't got the time to do it at the mo. The 'box needs a rebuild as well. So I'm trying to get organised and do the engine swap and box rebuild at the same time or at least in the same fortnight.

 Re: Violet the 1986 Special
I don't fancy fitting an electric one. I prefer the manual one as you can control the spray by how hard you press it. I'm not keen on the pattern replacements either, they've all got the word LAV on them! So I've decided I'm going to repair the original. I've got a couple of M5 x 4mm hose adapters and will fit those into the original pump.

 Re: Violet the 1986 Special
Fair enough. I just wanted to fix the old one instead of forking out for a new one!
