Hi Rob.

Thanks so much. That would be great. Take a propane heater with you

On another note I used the nuts/nipples that came with the elbows to make up my long lines and got everything soldered together. Tomorrow Im going to try and make up my vent tubes for the fuel tanks.

Hey Lynn. No problem at all. Was only trying to "bug" you.

Im trying to figure out what goes between the oil cooler fins and the mounting brackets. When I took mine apart there seemed to be some kind of thin rubber/cloth wrapped around it. Sadly it was too far gone to be of any help in figuring out what it was.

Can anyone suggest what to use to replace it as I don't want to crush the fins with the hose clamps.

This leads into my second question... does anyone know of a place that sells the vintage style Jubilee clamps. I can only seem to find the modern ones that have the tightening screw fully enclosed.

The wrapping just appears to be the old style insulation tape. (rag/bitumen stuff)

Jordan if you can't find anything over there. Have a look at Paul Becks site at Vintage supplies. www.vintagesupplies.com He has various styles in brass. Look at items 726 and CA1454 page 60 in the catalogue I have for 2007. It's amazing what other stuff he produces. Ron

Thanks for the info on the bitumen cloth. Ive got some canvas and will try some tar on it.

I took a look at the site for the clips. They are close but not the same as the original type ive got elsewhere on the carrier. I'll post up a picture tonight showing the type I'm after.
