In Scotland we have had a programme of reduced speed limits.

As a result, the number of killed or seriously injured, on the road network, has dropped.

Surely better for all.

Quote from: gcc130 on Today at 09:27 PMIt does in that I'm pretty sure a Series 1 bumper won't fit onto series 2 dumbions, whether the starting handle escutcheon was carried over onto series 2 bumpers is a different question.
I've seen quite a few S1s with S2-onwards bumpers so I would guess they do fit? The dumb irons are the same width and distance apart.

It's the default speed limit in Highland Council area. This includes trunk roads through towns.  Scotland will have a default 20mph limit in the near future.

Perfect, thanks for that.

Had a go at spraying the Smiths heater casing and doors with wrinkle paint. My first go with this stuff and it's not come out too badly. I did the horn push surround too and painted the smiths fan in satin black.

The book values for SWB front & rear are 25 psi - unladen, normal road use.

When loaded or towing you can increase the rears to 30 psi.

I have Avon Rangemasters on my SWB camper and run them at 28 in the front and 32 in the rears, going to maybe 35 if fully loaded.

Start there and experiment a bit to find what best suits you.

Can anyone advise the optimum, road use, tyre pressures for my 1969 '88?
Or laden / unladen pressures?

This doesn't answer the question, I quite like the starting handle escutcheon on the s1s so I made one for my 2A Foxy out of some 1/4" steel plate ....
