 Re: Kano Coupe
Lucky the garage has a large attic, to hold perishable parts. The heating oil tank is surrounded with wheels/tyres and body panels. ₦ 500 should cover the postage. Let me look later

 Re: Kano Coupe
After bonding in grp filler strips to the screen pillars and suspending the screen over the hole on webbing straps to adjust the size of the opening to suit, I now have a fitted "Dino" screen, but what a lot of faffing about, my shell was virgin unused, I would have thought the opening would be close to correct size, now we have an area about 10mm wide each side of the screen that will need paint touching up, wish I could buy matching paint colour rattle cans here I would have done it before fitting the screen.

 Re: Kano Coupe
It could have been a Boko Haram bomb and we had to call in the bomb disposal squad. Some time we will meet again for me to sort you out Thanks John

 Re: Kano Coupe
I am seriously miffed Have put the engine/rear subframe back just before Christmas thought it time to bleed brakes and clutch, topped up the pots and pressed the clutch peddle only for something to brake on the peddle box, lots of bad language and struggling to get head 1st down the footwell to remove the peddle box, thinking all the while why did I top the oil before checking and pressing a peddle?? The good news is it was not a weld that broke on my modification to convert to dual circuit/bias bar cylinders but an original B-L weld, the other positive is it did not fail far away from home driving on the road, anyway no progress and 3 steps backward, carried all the bits to work this morning to get it welded and strengthened.

 Re: Kano Coupe
Sweating under the African sun while you lot are freezing your nuts off, inspired by Kens push rod operated bias dual master cylinder brake setup we now have a Kano made similar setup and at least its a lot easier to adjust then the previous under the scuttle arrangement I had John

That's how they converted the Seicentos to right hand drive.

 Re: Kano Coupe
Ken, just a point of interest, what size tyre are you using on your car, I bought 175-50x13 Yoko's as they were the same size as the Pirelli P7 I used when racing on my old Cox back in the day Thanks John
