I don't know. A mate of mine bought a fancy 100mm speedwell rev counter from the UK. How much do they cost on average?

yeah that is a bit pricey... plus when you add shipping and 40% for customs and VAT it becomes unreasonable. Guessing ebay might be a better bet

In that case regs do not apply, but as you say ensure it is secure.y held and if you are ever unfortunate enough to have a vehicle fire warn the FS that gas cylinders are on board or when carrying put a magnetic sign on vehicle stating propane cylinder on board. Used to fill my fire boots when unknown cylinders went bang.

If your buying a roll cage why not get a full FIA approved weld type.

Yup same for me, about 40 mins after buying, conked out and had to join the AA there and then for £120 :D dodgy wire going to the coil, and it was at night in January!

Hehe oh been there. It's a treat. But taught me not to be scared of it braking down after a few hours at the side of the M1 haha.

I haven't owned it long, but I doubt it would see much motorway.
I've driven on a motorway only once in my Mini... Anything above 65 is a little nerve racking anyway haha.

I've snapped a ball joint before and I though that was bad. Then I snapped my front subframe last week -.-
Jan 20 2015 06:21 PM

old original

Took a hell of a bang on both front & back nearside but everything still feels ok. I might take a look underneath just in case....
Jan 20 2015 06:26 PM

IainStallard

I didn't notice my subframe until I looked underneath, worth a look

Damn you! Grrr. Only got a heated rear windscreen. I don't need it really because my car is kept inside a garage during the night. :) Sound like a good upgrade.

Wish I had fitted one during my van restoration but the Minispares Dec sales offer was to irresistible to pass up.
