Hi Ned

Welcome

Would be good to see you at our monthly meet in Liphook, always a good mix of Stylus's, Striker's, & Furies.
3rd Thursday of the month at The Links pub.
I'll post proper directions separately.

Brian Beavis is also in Portsmouth. He's very approachable if you need local help.
I'm sure he'll be along on here shortly.

Matt

Welcome ned
I have been looking for a stylus for a fair time
was keeping an eye on your one but it was to far to travel
as i live at drayton just out side portsmouth
so i will have the pleasure of seeing yours around and thinking that should have been mine ha ha

Hi Phil.

Im in Southampton, so not to far away. See you around. Kev

Hi Phil,

She's obviously still annoyed I sold her

Blowing fuse could be an intermittent short behind the aux gauges in the centre of the dash, as you will have noticed its a bit tight in there and I had that area in bits to change the bulbs in the three Aux gauges just before I sold her.

If that checks out OK last time I had this problem (and the reason I fitted the extra fuse) it ended up being the Tacho which is odd as it's been rebuilt twice by ETB

Glad your still smiling anyway

Hi Phil - and I'm just along near Brighton

[Ned]

Hi Guys fuse issue sorted 2 bulbs? inside oil pressure gauge causing it to short out....all sorted.....whats the best fuel cap and where as the flush fit one allows the rain into tank so i want to change it.

I had a flush fit aero fuel cap on mine when it was road registered without any water getting in
When you lift the little flap , I drilled a 1.5mm hole through as a breather ---- perhaps yours has been drilled too large Also they can be adjusted for closing tightness from underneath Put a photo up here of it with the flap open but not lifted out

If that's the problem it could be filled and re - drilled
