Hi Mark.You're not far off the mark.I cheated though,and filled mine full of concrete,smoothed it over and painted it. I put a layer of polythene in between...
Dave. Concrete is not a crazy idea. My car guru - Big Ken, told me that when setting up VW Beetles long ago that they poured concrete into some front chassis...
Thanks Peter. Good idea. SG steel 7.8 and Lead 11.3 . Could look a bit untidy, but if it was trimmed and anchored under a steel plate it would look pukka . I...
Mike. Spoke to hubby - he said you need a brake compensator valve. It apparently equals out the pressure. Had a discussion with Ian a while back about making...
Just go to argos and buy dumb bell weights and bolt them onto the spare wheel carrier. Make sure you are using the right size rear wheel cyliders and that the...

Hello there, I wonder what size rear wheel cylinders you have on the car. Have you ever played about with the servo or adjusted the rod inside at all.. Can you...
Hi Matt. I have left the front 'boot' standard, no front fuel tank or battery re-location. Thus the spare wheel sits there. By the way, poured concrete into a...
Just looking through the sva docs that i have to fill out. it wants a catorgury? have people ticked the 'S' box as it uses nearly everything from my original...
Matt, it was a long time since I filled out SVA test application but I recall the category was 'Amateur Built' and my SVA contacts called the car a 'Banham...
Hi Matty Do not know about a "S" box, I filled in a V55/5 form, this is a application for a first licence for a used motor vehicle and declaration for...
Thank god I've found your group, building a spider skoda engine. Look forward to reading members messages and of course request your guidance. I'm based in...
John Good to have you aboard !! I think everyone has used the radiator from the donor skoda - the metal framework from Banham should have had lugs for the...
Ian, Nice to hear from you, info most welcome too. I will be at Stoneleight on the Sunday, you going too ? Rad, sadly the car I have was stored you right, in a...
