Just need- health insurance acu license club membership new exhaust that will pass noise test custom remap safety tie bike etc. a van van insurance spares paddock stands WAY MORE MONEY so yeah, nearly there rob...
Talent, no worries, you have that. The other bits, MHP is your man for the exhaust. The remap, not sure who is up near you. Spares, these will come throughout the year, so don't worry too much about these. Somebody will always help you out if you need things on the day. Paddock stands, avoid the ones that are made of fancy looking alloy, instead, get some decent heavy duty ones. They get used a great deal and take a good old knocking over the year. Lock wiring the bike, dead easy. Get a set of these pliers for doing it: Bike-It Safety Lockwire Pliers 9 Inch - Demon Tweeks They are invaluable. make sure you get your dog tags as well, get a spare as you can't race without it and they are the sort of things that can easily go missing.
Bang at side of M1 tyke all the orange 1s are ex RAC vans sells loads round here! Used Vans Sheffield, Commercial Vehicles Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Good man Jimbo! I would also recommend using thinner lockwire for most jobs, as the thick stuff is a pain to bend back on itself and also for things like the dipstick which is plastic, it tends to put too much force on it.
As for Transits....always have a damn good look at rear floors and chassis....they rot like crazy....I know because I've gone through 3 in 4 years. The current one had a recent full test and was boarded out, when I pulled the floor boards up there was gaping holes in the wheelarch to floor seams, and someone had filled it with silicone ...ended up with a week of welding to sort it out... That is on a 2000 reg new shape Apart from that great van
I love my vw t5 but for £5000 you're probably looking at a t4. I know loads of guys who love their T4s. Have a look on the www.vwt4forum.co.uk.
yep mate same here on a 2000 plate transit rotted out rear chassis and nothing left to weld too last of the smiley shape ,best engine though
You ll be spoilt for choice in that price range mate.... Just take your time and bag yourself a good un Ps here's mine and she's a belter to drive....
Dog tags need to have your name and date of birth on. Forget putting on your blood type, as the first thing a medic will do is carry out a blood test if needed. I got mine from these guys: Military Dog Tag set (2 Tags, ball chains, rubber silencers) - Dog Tags, Pet Tags, and pet accessories
Ah young Tyke, bless ya. They will go over this in your ACU course, but it is worth just getting them ordered now and it is one less thing to worry about. As i said, it is worth getting a couple, easy to lose them and you can't race without them.
This is true, but anything can happen. They will check you have them on in scrutineering and if you haven't, then they won't sign your scrutineering card and you can't go out to play.
