C-130 Hercules

Think it’s this type - #8:

They are just push pins, no? Try slide a thin flat screwdriver under neath and wiggle them loose a bit. Alternatively push the pin in and recover it one you have taken the plug out.

Are the sheep skin covers fitted and would you sell them separately?

Yes, even indoors I don’t like to use them. Apart from scratching the paint they also trap moisture. A carport or some sort of tent would be ok. Perhaps you could check out some storage facilities. They have garage size units. Just make sure it is properly ventilated.

Check out those boots - must have nicked it off a Sasquatch.

Yes, when I took out the cover originally. I have classic cover. Every now and then I review and increase the agreed value. As long as it is in line with the market and nothing outrageous, they will generally accept without much fuss. They will request a new set of pictures every time you do, so they can see the condition of the car.

Still with Swann. Can’t complain. Haven’t had any major incidents which would have required their assistance though. Have agreed value, track extension, salvage rights.

Equally interesting to know, how did one get into the car with the roof down? Especially if one was of taller or more solid stature.

Thanks all, good advice. At the same time I am contemplating getting the roof re-sprayed. Working out the logistics of this at the moment

Need to get the windscreen changed on the e28. Any recommendations / experiences to share? Non-bonded screen, lots of weather strips and mouldings. Wonder if insurance will replace all of these things too.

Been thinking the same thing. I also just remembered that I should have an old AC compressor lying around somewhere...

Thanks Allan - need to complete it today ? Not too Fußes if it takes a little while to create vac (happy to wait a few mins) and like to maintain it for 20-30 seconds. Have attempted to use a foot pump with deflator function but that does not work unless I would install a vac valve I guess. Brake bleed pump would take ages I think. Thinking to try it with an electric inflator/deflator pump but might also not be strong enough.

Cheap vacuum pump needed for a school project. We have a tube of approx 1.6L volume in which we want to create a vacuum (ideally as close to 30Hg as possible. Any ideas for a cheap diy solution?

I am looking for one for my daughter but she hasn’t saved up enough yet... Tempted to look at it as I am in Welly today - but it would just get me into a lot of trouble.

I think think this is a 700... ?

Another oddity - the F 76:

That is very well put together.
