T3 Syncro Front Chassis Repair sections… now in stock

Replacing this section is possibly not a job you would want to do at the side of the road with a DIY mig welder and a hack saw… but there are a LOT of Syncro models out there now with serious corrosion in this area.

When we start seeing them in the workshop we obviously need to fix ’em. That means you might need to too.
Excellent quality, made in Germany and in stock to order now.

And here starts the nightmare.

image

Simple job, import van, just come in from Lapland.
We’re just going through it undoing the “modifications” (in the loosest sense) and generally getting it ready for UK use.
One of the problems is quite simple, the front side lights don’t work.
Anyone spot the problem yet?
Yes, we can’t get the grille off, so we can’t take the head lights out so we can’t change the bulbs without unbolting the clothes horse off the front.
Deep joy. Simple job we don’t normally charge for turns into an hours labour!

Trial fitting of T3 syncro pre bent brake pipes

image

We’ve had these particular brake pipes sat in a box awaiting the opportunity to trial fit them. Brand new steel, copper coated, epoxy covered pre bent and flared with the correct fittings.
Made exclusively for us by an OEM supplier to all the car brands you’re bothered about. Using original samples these pipes are perfect for those who want to achieve a perfect replacement pipe without the hassle of bending and flaring your own. Saves time as you can just fit from the box. Made using original samples.
Now we know the fit is good we’ll add these syncro items to our growing range of pre bent pipes very soon.

One for the workshop customers

A few weeks ago as we were returning from a wedding and taking the scenic way home we chanced across a new campsite quite local to the workshop.
Now, regular visitors to Brickwerks HQ make use of the campsite a mile or so up the road from the workshop but it seems it’s a little “Marmite”, some love it, some don’t, so we are now in the position where we can recommend a second reasonably local site for those that like things a little wilder!

You know we like to try out the stuff we sell and I suppose this similar!

Whitegate Leisure is a small family run campsite on the moors above Holmfirth and is run by husband and wife team Shaun and Sue who bought the farm a few years ago and are in the process of renovating the farmhouse and out buildings and is located approx 5 miles from our premises.

We would say that this campsite is more suited to the outdoor-sy types as it’s located “in the sticks”. We’ll warn you though, it’s exposed location can give some great views over the valley but I can’t say I’d want to be camping there in a storm!
This campsite would be great for those that like walking, cylcling or ever a spot of green laning as there are plenty of walks, cycle routes and green lanes very close to the site.
Just down the road is Coddy’s Farm which sports a tea room [which does breakfasts] and a farm shop, another 10 minutes walk down the hill takes you to the Holmfirth Vinyard where you can go and sample wine made on the sunny slopes of the Holme Valley.

The only thing missing is a pub but the centre of Holmfirth is only 2 miles away and this then opens up a whole realm of things to go of an evening from eating out to the excellent Picturedrome, voted the NME’s 2nd best small music venue in the UK.

All in all, for us a great little campsite and just up the road for us for those last minute “I want to go camping” moments.
Please note it is seasonal and it shuts over the winter period, but, in fairness the lost village in the woods a mile or so away is called “Hades” … if you’re up there in the winter you’ll find out why! (the neighbouring farm is called Elysium, it must have been named in summer as that means “A place or state of perfect happiness.”)

T3 Terrawagen Arch Kits – Now in stock

We’ve fitted a few sets of these for customers when they have imported them from the USA, and we were really impressed with the quality.

So impressed that we now have them on the shelf for next day delivery.

Take a look at the photos, and the fitting videos on the Terrawagen website.
We think you’ll be impressed too.
Photos show a set test fitted today in our own workshop… we havn’t talked this particular customer into having a set fitted yet, so they’re clipped on… you get the idea though!
