Hi Mats Johansson @mjoh
Nice that you have a Cabriolet without too much rust – especially the sills.
It is difficult to re-glue the original headlining back up, because it has a backing that crumbles to pieces (which is why they come down in the first place).

hi Guy Roelandts @guyroel
Are you referring to the Chrome Windscreen surround ? If so, why didn’t you mention it before I came over to Belgium last week – I’ve got a spare I could have brought over for you !!
As David Wardale @robertdavidwardale says, these are riveted in place – they are easily drilled out and replaced by a small screw. What you do need to be careful of is fitting, to make sure you don’t put a bend in it as you won’t get a crease out.

Hi Gerard Harings @gerard-haringstelenet-be
The rear window rubbers tend to go hard and crack and perish.
Quite a few members mentioned that they were seeking new rubbers but none were available so I paid for a number to manufactured (reverse engineering from an original). I’m selling these at cost, so need to sell all of them before I recover my outlay.
Cheers,
Laurence
Hi Gerard Harings @gerard-haringstelenet-be
I have been hoping to sell a few more of the rear window rubbers to recover my money before I spent any more.
However, as folk are waiting I think I will just get on and have these Targa rubbers made. Watch this space and there should be news by the end of January.
John Mirco @mircs is also waiting.
cheers,
Laurence
Enjoyed a lovely Italian meal and a few hours good company with 4 of our Belgium members today (Guy, Pascal Mathieu @barto , Gerard Harings @gerard-haringstelenet-be and Lionel Martin @belgian-lm .
Thanks to. Guy Roelandts @guyroel for choosing a great meeting venue.

Hi John May @rujamajoco
Your Cabriolet is a lovely green
If I do keep and restore the V12 Cabriolet I acquired last year then I think I’ll respray it that shade of green rather than the lighter green it currently is
Try and keep 22nd April free, as we have a Club meet up planned in Gerrards Cross – which hopefully isn’t too far for you to make.

- Our final visit of the day was The Funicular Lift of Strepy-Thieu.
this is one of the largest boat lifts in the world. Similar sized water filled cradles to those used in the Sloping lock are lowered or raised over 240feet / 73 metres. Building was completed in 2002 at which time it was the tallest in the world.
We then went and visited The Sloping Lock at Ronquieres.
This is engineering on a massive scale. The boats literally come up and down the hill in giant water filled cradles on rails.
Day 1
we visited the Waterloo Battlefield Memorial 1815. The wind was a bit too strong to take a hike up the monument.

Short instruction – just click on Visual (just over to the right of the Text Area (looks like a filing cabinet folder tab). Then click on the little camera icon (to the right of the little smile in a circle), then follow instructions as you see them.

Paul Roper mentioned this recently on Facebook, so I think I might try and watch it before we head over to the Isle of Man in May 2018.
I’m just putting the final touches to the Club Tour Newsletter which I’ll send out in the next couple of days 🙂
