LPG kit fitting meet MIDLANDS
« on: 19 February 2010, 14:52:49 »

I am trying to organise an LPG fitting party over a weekend or three days, Midlands area.

Tunnie has kindly offered to host if needed as he has a good workshop, just trying to assess interest and help available.

I am waiting for kit prices from Lazydocker's supply contact and details of where the LPGA certificate can be obtained plus the cost of this.

Please post if:
A/ you have a car to convert and are interested
B/ you can offer expert help with expenses paid

Could be a good Omega meet and party  :y :y :y

Not sure i'd go that far  ;D

Well lit garage with a fair selection of tools, but missing few bits (to be discussed)

Do feel however converting 3 cars at a time is pushing it  :-/

Once we done one, should get into rhythm for the next two, as you know i work 3 days on 3 days off, so its just depends if the experts can spare the time?

3x 2.2s should make it easier, as you can figure out where/how/why on first car, then set up production with each member doing works as necessary on their own/each others cars  :-/

My thought was to get 3-odd cars, 6-odd people, all the tools and know-how together and crack on.

I'd rather have just mine, done, signed off and sorted by tomorrow night  ;), but thought this would be an efficient way of getting owners, kits, experts, know-how and tools together in one place.

Any other offers/ideas  ;D

Not sure, James & Kevin coverted Marie's 2.0, now they both know exactly what they are doing and still took them both 3 days to do one car, and it was only just.

Think we would be spreading ourselves a bit thin  :(

2 days.... :y

Yes we were very pushed, you need to bear in mind if you hit a snag of any description you need a time buffer too.....

We did my V6 in 2 days also, long days though, and the tank was already mounted.

Not sure what to do, was trying to think of easiest way to get the skills together.

Can probably spare a weekend, hence the earlier Proffessauto idea as they do it in a day-but don't remove manifold, so scotched that idea  ;)
