As it was originally purchased from the RAF Firefighting Museum, the team there who had a good presence at the show (including the unique TNT 'lime green' goddess) were pleased to see it back and looking good.
Anyway, a nice weekend and 32 ran well overall, covering 150 miles over the two days but it is still running a little rich, although the air mixture screw on the carb is now all the way in. Perhaps the timing is out a little? Sadly, my socket set didn't survive the weekend. The locker floor on the small, rear, near side locker where the hinges attach as collapsed allowing the door to sag - and open. So, on the way home yestedray, going around a right hand bend somewhere..... If you find a socket set on the A46 or A1, it's probably mine!
Anyway, it's now safely tucked up in bed again with the special anti bird poo gaurds fitted.....
hello I own 29c, nice to see her sister looking so nice
ReplyDeleteHello! Wow! Funny you should leave a message as we tried to track you down a few months ago - not in a weird, sinister way I might add - as we knew that yours still has the front extinguisher holders fitted which 32 lost years ago when it went into fire brigade service in Clywd. In the end, we had to use photos to remanufacture them and they look OK, I think.
DeleteI hope 29 is well and still on the road? Would be nice to get them together again one day! Luckily 32 was in very good condition when we bought it but we've still done a fair bit to make it look OK. Still a few things to go, the canvas tilt on the back will improve it no end but that will be mega-expensive!
Feel free to drop me a line directly if you want, it would be good to chat - duncan_wright@hotmail.com
Thanks, Duncan.
