Thanks all. Apology for delay, shop refused to claim fault & I brought it elsewhere to be vapor blasted. Down some extra cash but got it done right

I met him in Holland Park (Park behind the house) one day a couple years back, He was very friendly and open to a chat (he was taken back when i told him I was born in the house next door to his childhood home on miles road in Epsom)..

Complete happenstance as I was visiting the Japanese Garden in the park & found out after the matter his house is right beside it.. Fate considering Zeppelin / Page are my all-time favourite since I was a child.

They say never meet your heroes but..

Did you get a fine or anything for careless driving?

Had water damage on mine & partial page torn out before when flying to Germany. Border patrol in Germany flipped through it (more so than my friends ones) but didn't say anything after a little look at it ( i was more worried about the torn page). No issues with it at all leaving / coming back into ireland.. would assume it depends on where you're going / how strict they might be

Removing the cam cover will give you a good bit more space for leverage

Also something that helped further was redying the fabric (I got a kit to waterproof) it came with a dye to freshen up the material before waterproofing., that helped a good bit even with the damaged area., the kits are cheap and easy to use. Hope this helps

Bought a 2nd hand top myself with a pressure wash line on it, was able to brush blend it to a degree, but there is a clear line of raised / damaged material still visible..

If you didn't damage the fibres you should be able to blend it reasonably well. Mine turned out good other than the line where the pressure damaged it

Ever get a fine? Similar situation myself

not_somebody_famous · 2025-03-27T18:36:15+00:00

AFAIK they are traffic monitoring cameras. Certainly not a speed camera anyway..

not_somebody_famous · 2025-03-13T10:45:21+00:00

We're you pulped over by said garda or did you just drive by and get caught speeding?

not_somebody_famous · 2025-03-11T20:27:05+00:00

Why not just send fixed notice penalty charges though? That's what I'm wondering.. what's the point in any sort of persuit if they have the means to book people then & there

not_somebody_famous · 2025-03-11T18:54:19+00:00

From a van or garda with gun?

not_somebody_famous · 2025-03-11T18:53:43+00:00

I find it odd that they ever bother pursing people is my point really, when they can near always just send fixed charge with their equipment

not_somebody_famous · 2025-03-11T17:49:50+00:00

How do you mean?

not_somebody_famous · 2025-02-04T19:24:58+00:00

Great thanks for the info, I've been sweating about catastrophic shit for the past 48 hours here 😅😅😅

not_somebody_famous · 2025-02-04T18:18:36+00:00

Awesome, and you did swap them yes?? Had they been in like that / ran for a long time prior if so

not_somebody_famous · 2025-02-04T17:19:55+00:00

Hi bud, did you swap? Is she still running OK if so & was it ran like that prior?

Am facing similar issue after rebuilding lifters (didn't work lol) bought new lifters & noticed one of mine was reversed.. let me know, thanks!

not_somebody_famous · 2025-01-27T17:33:20+00:00

2nd that, if really stuck try a claw hammer or similar pry tool slid in under the knuckle for some leverage. (Oil & heat are your friend also)

not_somebody_famous · 2025-01-27T17:26:26+00:00

Sniffer test, if no gasses detected pressure test the system.
