My mistake. I thought those big Alcon calipers manufactured for Bowler on Page8 were for this build...

I believe the picture of the very big brakes belonged to someone else's build and not this one


This is what I thought.

The reason for the bigger Bowler brakes is . A loaded 130 takes some stopping with standard brakes so these will help Thumbs Up

No worries Smile

Thats a fair point andrew, its not just the speed that determines how much brakes you need, but the weight as well.

I think that there may be some intense interest when (or possibly if) the time comes!

Placed a heat shield to the underside of the seat box then ran the cables through for the amp.

Well the run back from York was somewhat enjoyable, for some reason the engine was as smooth as a purring Tiger and pulled like demon. 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

Been using Longshanks of late so its had a good 'test' out on the open road. Before I proceed with the trim and shelving etc I wanted to iron out any issues.

The cab heater works a treat
I can confirm that its watertight Shocked yes watertight Thumbs Up
Got a couple of rattles in the side 'gulwing' doors this an issue with the latch rods hitting the inside of the doors, easy fix as I will cover them in felt.

Still got loads to do and fit:-
Ebony roof liners.
Mud Roof Consul.
Trim throughout.
Gywn Lewis mud flap extenders.
On board Air.
On board water with pump.
Air operated door locks for for canopy doors.
Inverter.
Bowler Brakes.
Shelving and storage.

Will it ever end Crying or Very sad 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

The good news is yes!

Bad news is it will also be the day you sell it Embarassed
