You can get gaskets made from a silicone material. Also if using Hylomar make sure it’s the AF version.

Yes please x2

For those staying Sunday as well, do we want to book a table for that evening?

Welcome to the forum! I'm also in the (glacial) process of restoring an Elite - more of a "restomod" :D. Hope to see you and your Elite some time.

I think the glaciers have melted :shock ...

Are we members of FBHVC?
I believe they charge a fee for clubs to join based on their membership numbers

Just to add - I will need to drop off my hire car at the airport before coming in to the show, so probably won’t be there for the start.

I can certainly make use of the car park pass and happily share with someone else on the Friday.

not sure how I’m going to comply with this one

“ Safety reversing alarms are required on all vehicles that can be operated in reverse, and alarms must be used alongside a banksman”

Maybe stick my head out the window and shout “CAUTION VEHICLE REVERSING” !!!

Perfect
Thanks

And while I'm at it, here is a copy of the Site Rules. For those delivering cars, you won't be let in by security without having pretended to read this. Either bring a printout, or you will have to download a copy onto your smartphone via a QR code that security will show you when you arrive ...

One question - how to we get the display car pass ?

Use this link to get a Self-Driven Display Vehicle Access Pass. Apologies, I thought I'd already posted this, apparently not!

Thanks.

At this link is a document with some useful info, some relevant to all volunteers, some just to those bringing cars.

Please let me know if you can access this successfully!

Great info.

Tony - Thanks for offer

I’ve sent you guys an email

I’ll be up in a few weeks for the NEC show.

Oooh I’d be interested - can practice on this if I ever need to do anything with mine.

Too late for anyone to bid, but a couple of Elites were auctioned today locally having been in storage for some time, I don’t know if they were known here already?
