Thanks for the invite, if I still lived in Lincolnshire I would be going to this.
If any body is going perhaps a chat with one of the brothers would be our best chance of sourcing fuel filler pipes, early expansion tanks or anything else proving difficult to get hold of. They have more clout with and knowledge of original equipment suppliers than just about anybody else.

Sounds look a good day. Definitely will try to come to this. Will be in the R100 though. Is it for the SD1 owners only or would i be able to post on another forum?

Bit late, but here's some pics of the event, had a really good day courtesy of Mark of the SD1 club and Rimmer Bros.
The club members made us welcome and Rimmers laid on hot & cold drinks and a buffet lunch.
Also had a tour of their stores and vast stock of parts.
Got myself some 800 bits inc a new (old stock) header tank (they still have some in stock).
Look out for Marks SD1featured in August Practical Classics.(No pic here)

Looking at that picture, I can see a failure waiting to happen.The later ones seem to crack around the cap.

Rimmers aren't really good for Mk1 800 stuff as they list the "early 800's" as '91 to '96 Mk2. Unless they don't list Mk1 parts on their website and require a phone enquiry.

Also, I can't believe the multi coloured SD1 hasn't been killed with fire yet.

The Volvo one (detailed elsewhere) is worth looking at.

I bought a second hand tank last year, but I noticed it has stress cracks appearing, although it is holding water ok.
I thought a new tank would be cheaper in the long run,than keep buying used ones that are coming to the end of thier lives anyway.
I'll fit it and see how it goes, the car does'nt do much over 1000 miles between mot's so its got the benefit.
I hope it lasts as it was'nt exactly cheap. Perhaps keep the spare in the boot. :roll:

I hope not for Brian, he's spent some time on that car.

You missed a good day, although a bit cold.
The SD1 club lads are very friendly and told me, we would all (800's) be welcome at thier events.
Ask me how my tank is doing next year. :|
Richard Moss wrote:The Volvo one (detailed elsewhere) is worth looking at.
I did think about that, but then saw these at Rimmers, my original had done 22 years, I thought if the new one was good for another 22 years I'd be on a winner.
Time will tell !

Thanks for your replies

That SD1 deserves to burn for the terrible grammar.

Nice pictures. Thanks for posting them up.
That Allegro looks nice in the background. £1995. Are Rimmer Bros selling it?

Kate :D
