Great - looking forward to it.
I'm in Nottingham on business on Friday, is it OK to come along? I like some advice on two burner Ultimus that refuses to pump and I've also got...
Thanks for the advice. I've renewed the pump cup/washer and it almost seems as if it is working on the up stroke and not the down stroke - so it...
I have an Ultimus two burner stove that is, I think, about a 4 pinter. It was in good order but I have gently cleaned it, replaced the pump washer...
I'd like one if they're still available.
I can live with the odd inaccuracy - it's a very good show.
Can you just turn up or do you have to book? If there's any one wants to go from Chester/Wirral/Liverpool area please PM me.
Try this site for tips on whipping or coxcombing. I used similar technique to wrap the sprint wheel on my Model T Modified....
I have used Brasso for years but went off it a bit when they modernised the can with a plastic cap. I find Belgom Alu is very good.

I have a 96 with a duff vapourising tube and I note that the Base Camp Manasulu 96 uses a burner very similar to that on my Optimus 00 -...
Nice looking stove fro the picture - I love the way the upbeat advertising copy makes a paraffin pressure stove sound like the very latest thing!!...
The Avion owes me around ?8K but they can be bought for as low as ?3K depending on the build quality. It does 60mpg at 50mph and 50mpg at 60mph....
Here it is close up - it's an Avion. I'm doing the National Rally of Wales in it again this year. Im going to take the Optimus 00 and, for the...
It's a 27T on 21 T Truck rails with 32 front axle, Lincoln Zephyr brakes and a 57 Pontiac 347 engine with a three speed. The trike is a kit made...
Thanks - just found the Valor is leaking paraffin from, perhaps, the tank base joint - as it looks to have been home soldered before. However, I...
Hi everyone. I've been lurking now for a while and picking up lots of useful information. I have just acquired an "instant collection" of...
