Anyone got any pics af the GK stand from NEC?
I did say there would be 'Something Special' in Hall 19... but NO-ONE anticipated the "Double de-Bruyne!". Yes, that is John de Bruyne standing alongside THE de Bruyne GT car - which he clearly still thinks is wonderful.

Boot lock is from?
Its got electric wipers and two bloody great servo's, so why is there a vacuum tank?

Rover P4, Correct
Boot Lock = BMC 1100 (ish) N.b. Operating arm differs.
Vacuum Tank - "So you still have (servo-ed) brakes, long after the motor stops!"
Good hunting...

Cheers oneof99, I suspected the "something special" might be the De Bruyne but you're right, I didn't anticipate the double. Sorry I couldn't make it.
Neither did I... and the 'introductions' were surreal:-(1) There is a load of filler in that white car...
(2) Who says?
(1) I do. I should know. I built it. I'm John de B !!!
(2) Pleased to meet you. Can we take your photo ?
Thought that Ch.65 looked superb at the NEC - a credit to both its owner and the marque.
Was pleasantly surprised with the de Bruyne... looks so much better in the flesh! Well, the frontal aspect anyway; really don't like the rear end, but that is just my personal opinion of course.
See Godin Banks have reduced its asking price to a mere £19,995.00p.

Well spotted TX GT. I deliberately 'didnt ask' but am assured, it IS to be sold.Was pleasantly surprised with the de Bruyne... looks so much better in the flesh! Well, the frontal aspect anyway; really don't like the rear end, but that is just my personal opinion of course.

Are the window frame screws BA or BSW? They dont appear to be UNC or metric. Does anybody know?
They could be 4BA at 38TPI of 1/8 BSW at 40 TPI, need to find my thread gauge really.
BA! Send Santa a note:-They could be 4BA at 38TPI of 1/8 BSW at 40 TPI, need to find my thread gauge really.
" A good supply of 2BA Hex head & Countersunk in Chrome or Stainless "
- fits most electrical / trim items on G-K !
However, from memory, the 'hinge screws' may be 4BA, not 2BA.

I had a good look at the 'tina rack today, looks well installed, I cant see any imediate issues, I'll save those for later.
Some progress today while animals in the garden as running past 2 by 2....
Engine getting ready to come out.
Roof gutter trims fitted.
Headlights fitted.
Big pile of stuff ready for BZP for chroming, I got 4 healdlamp bezels, 2 damaged but one good pair needing chrome.
V10Mike, I've just realised that this is your car with a different set of wheels. Are they the Realm alloys? Long term I'm looking to replace Ch76's Wolfies with something more like the originals And the Realm alloys are the closest match.

Hi to all GK Pistonheads!
You may have noticed that, of late, the Keebling magazine has 'lost' a few of its pages. The editor advises that this is due to a lack of material. He's conscious of some of the great stuff being put up on this forum - pictures of centre consoles re-carpeted (nice job, by the way!), man-sheds under way, works in progress on various cars - but this is only seen, or known about, by a few!
How about sending these items to the editor, as well as to this site? That way, we can all enjoy the popular "Work in Progress" page(s) that sometimes appear and can hopefully feature, in an edition soon, some more enties for "My Garage" (see Vol.42, No.1) The editor's email is shown on P2 of the magazine.
In the meantime, best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year, and thanks for the enthusiasm and entertainment!!
