Re: Johnny's Dart repairs

I started writing on boxes a while back, to save keep opening them looking for stuff I'd bought years ago.
A good lot of the stuff I bought for the Dart 10 years ago , was much cheaper £ to $ .

Re: Johnny's Dart repairs

You know the score :D I moved the seats that were on the roof of the dart into the back of the escort van, got rid of all the boxes that I was keeping for no reason.
Re tidying up stuff I want to keep. Re stacked every thing .

Re: Johnny's Dart repairs

Agreed, me too on the belt and braces :)
Its is well made , I don't know if it will vibrate or not.
It was made by a guy on this forum, but I can't remember his name, I think he made quite a few.
I'm sure someone on here will know who it was.

Re: Johnny's Dart repairs


Hate mysteries like that!


Bananarama! knows why I put it in the rear servo pot of parts.
I just didn't remember where it came from.

The clue was it didn't smell of auto trans oil. #-o

I'll have another good look tomorrow
