miketomcat Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thats fine with me. I'll have a measure up to see if it will go in the back of the ibex if not I'll bring the 110 and put it on the roof. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Awesome - just plain awesome !! Looking really, really good !!!! Now, excuse my ignorance / rudeness / etc...... I've had an offer for the roof to be collected and taken to France by one of our fellow forum members if he could collect it when he goes over and he will be goint to the Bristol area... (roughly 2km from the site of the original 'old sodbury sort out' Is there any way we can make this work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can co-operate with Miketomcat to bring the thing to Basinsgtoke (M3) or Andover (on the A303) if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Mike has come to the rescue and can store the hatch there until it is collected... May I say, again, this is just absolutely brilliant !!!!! Many, many thanks to you all !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I'm reckoning on this being the longest forum relay to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My guesstimate would be about 850 miles depending upon where Arjan lives in the Auvergne ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Longest or not - it goes to show we have seriously nice people here. Merci Beaucoup All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Awesome - just Awesome !!!!! Really looking forward to receiving it in May and to start on the lower frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 For those that are interested the roof is on the next leg of the journey. A short trip around the south of England then across the channel. Bon voyage. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks for the update ! I am really, really looking forward seeing this roof hatch in the aluminium soon. And again, let me say I am very, very thankful for all the people I've never met that helped out in this. Guys, you are just awesome !!

FridgeFreezer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I was talking to a lady in the New Forest this weekend with a 110 with an Alu-Cab pop-up roof, said they cost about £10k just for the roof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yes.... The € 5-7k on the Continent somehow translates to idiot money in the UK.. PSP roofs (Holland) are where I suggest people go as Paul makes very good stuff for a normal price and the quality is very, very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 UPDATE - the roof section is now in France ! I cannot thank everybody enough for their help. However, there always is one... The 110 isn't mobile as you can see. We're not sure what happened, but the result was not nice. The parts are ordered tomorrow, but I'm off to Holland next weekend for 2 weeks of work so collection is a bit of a problem.. Not happy with the 110 at the moment......

miketomcat Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I had something similar on the back of 45. The caliper had become worn allowing the brake pad to drop through the caliper more than it should. The metal part of the pad was touching the top hat part of the disc and had machined a groove 4mm wide and 3mm deep. When I discovered it the disc broke in two on disassembly. I would be willing to bet this is what has happened to you so I would recommend you check you calipers. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi Mike ! Caliper seems fine. The various nuts and other pieces of metal have been fused into a lot of nasty, smoking stuff. Small miracle I got it to a friend safely.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Looks like wheel bearing failure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
