That's a pretty good price from one place! I've always found that the cheap places for cylinders seem to charge more for the shoes and the other way round - that's pretty close to "best price" for both but without the faffing (and extra postage) of going to two or 3 different suppliers

found a little accessory for LouLou , only 99p ! In its original box , and it works after being in a shed for many many years.....! have to get a 6v bulb for it ! In the background is the HUGE.. ;D rear No. plate .... that ive spent ages carefully ...drilling the back of the rivets off the alloy digits ready for refurb ! Ive now got all new brake parts ready to fit , shoes , wheel cylinders , springs , D.O.C hose set , a roll of pipe , the master cylinder was new just before she was taken off the road , so all I need is time in the workshop.......and some brake fluid ... .........which might be happening more often ;D as social services finally did a review and have agreed 1 day a week in a day centre for me dad soon ....... ;D

We`ve got one in the workshop....Joe ...............8=) No need to make me jealous Pity about the solid centres on our wheels, the old manual "post" type are easy enough to make but can't see any obvious way to do anything similar without a hole for the post to go through. May have to put some thought into it.......

Bit of a Ooooops " day today ... I went to workshop ;D But last time there I opened the drivers window to let the interior breath....right under the spot where the barn roof has developed a leak.....LouLou`s 1st owner incredibly , considering LouLou hadnt moved for many years....always opened her windows after rain the let the damp escape . The drivers side floor and sound deadening soaked thru... Man thats stuffs hard to remove ......... ;D But I did ; strip and clean the fuel pump - looks like a brand new AC diaphram fitted , cleaned and painted the dynamo - love the little copper spring-loaded bung to cover the bearing lubricationhole ! ... and - just to make Sir Joe jealous , hidden under the battery charger and jet-wash ....is the tire changer..... Crap pix due to forgetting the camera , sorry chaps !!

Just realised that no-one'supdated Louloubelle's thread here despite all the work that happened on the ED12 thread!
So, at the risk of jumping ahead of her owner on the news:
As of today LLB has a full 12 month MOT and joins the very small group of road legal Daf 32s in the country ;D
There's also serious talk of national magazine interest in the story of how it happened, so hopefully some good publicity for the marque and the Club into the bargain!
