"Splitter Hangers": UK supplier?
Looking at the pic with the 350Z splitter, any decent sail1 boat chandlers should stock them....they use them for tightening halyards to keep the mast lines taught...Mount points for the bumper and splitter might need to be fashined or fabricated, but they might help you there as well?!

Largest width Z32 16" wheels?
Just measured them and i'm not sure exactly but i'd say the rears are 9" wide and the fronts 8" so unless their is only a slight difference they are UK wheels!!...

saying hi
Not sure on teh Z but most belts are xxK miles or 4 years whichever is sooner...i.e even if it had done 10 miles if its been 4 years then worth changing as rubber corrodes and breaks down too!!

Largest width Z32 16" wheels?
Jpo - i have an old set of stock alloys for sale that need to be re-furbed really. Tyres are bald though!!...I still have stock wheels on my Z (re-furbed set) and have a set of 18" wheels awaiting refurb. Pics are in the for sale section and i'm after reasonable offers. Also Loads of Family in Eire and I also have a mate who works on th stenna ferry from Fishgaurd to Rosslare so could probably get them your side of the water quite easily...

Next Meet
hey Buddha! Congrats on teh new addition to the family! Let us know which weekend you and Chelle might be free and we'll try and arrange around that?! Plan i think is to head to Llandow and chew some go-cart tyres rather than Z tyres and have a bit of fun...I think Anthony is on hols so i'll call them this week and find out about prices and dates...

Im after some pics of Tailgate skin fitted on a zed with standard or 99spec lights
Ihave posted some old ones on an old post about the way mine was fitted...no 99 spec lights (yet!) which i assume is what you're after....I think SWB with skin with the lip will look the dogs...I really like them and prefer to the stock one as it flows with the lines of the car...

No Llantwit major is on the coast...Did you go to Atlantic College at all? Previous post was meant to be that if Quavey was in teh area he could have posted up a request for a spin and a couple of beers...as could you if you were over here in gods country!!

Thinking of moving to wales
back to the post reason....It's bloody great!! To be honest though if 70k is your budget then you'll be looking at Valley towns in some of the more depressed ex-mining communities where work is still scarce. That's of course if south Wales/cardiff and surrounding areas is what you mean. ..You get a mix of people in all communities, but the lack of work for some can have an air of depression. I live in a lovely area called Llantwit Fardre bewteen Llantrisant and Pontypridd. The beach in Porthcawl is 20 minutes away for surfing and the Brecon beacons for mountain walks 20 minutes up the valley. Cardiff is about 8 miles away through the lanes and about 12 via the motorway....Nice and peaceful and i love it!!!

New Ownerish - Old Car, Help!
Welcome to the mad-house fella! Firstly...boy racer!! Most of us wish we were young enough!! She's fine with no aircon belt. Sounds like the aircon units bearings could be on the way though?? Not sure about the pulley on it's own but someone on here will be able to advise...Miost on here will tell you to get rid of the pump and lose the weight and take the roof off if you need air-con! I've kept mine as it's nice for demisting the windows! As she's been lying idle for a couple of years you might want to swap the oil and filter and consider the timing belt as well i know it's normally 60K but age and lying idle will make it brittle...no car like to be left doing nothing! For the sake of a few quid i'd get that and the water pump done the same time for peace of mind...

should i claim?
Legally: if they only had 2 pairs of gloves between 6 or 7 of you then it looks like they might be a little negligent in thier approach. However, you might have contributed by not asking for them so your claim might be reduced... Morally: You said voluntary work, so the charity/agent who commissioned you will not be able to ask you or any firm again for this type of work, as they will have to get special insurance in place to cover all eventualities in the future and they probably have not got the funds for this, hence requiring volunteers rather than professional gardeners or groundsmen and so the type of work will probably never get done in the future... I'd say it's up to you and how badly you feel you were treated..... I used to be able to drive cars and Bikes on the sand in my hometown of Pendine. After Clarkson and his cronies came to the 9 miles of sand to test a few cars for an episode of top gear (where the landspeed record was once held) we had flocks of cars coming to do the same....later that year some boy racer nearly ran over a kid buried in the sand and now the council have closed the beach as they can't cover the insurance costs of the increased risks........not quite a similar thing, but depends on teh reasons you volunteered for this work in the first place i suppose and whether you 'd like that to be able to continue? ....they probably have cover, but the more that claim the more the insurance cost rises the more we're prevented from 'living' in this country...

Insurance & Road Tax in Ireland??
send 'Tulip' a Pm she's over the water....The tax is expensive though....
-
Insurance quote
My best advice that i've found over the years is to never renew automatically, and to let the policy lapse before renewing...A new policy is nearly always cheaper than a renewal quote, even with the same company!!

Wheels back from polishing!!!!!
