Nightmare swb mk1 custom van

[Neil]

had a brake problem but sorted it was the rear flexi collapsin inward,the only pipe not re newed fitted new chrome ring indicators to the front these were missing before just blanks and painted the axles nice n shiney and the springs to match

[Neil]

brake problem re appeared last month all been re newed exept master cylinder ,not a huge job exept that its not a transit servo so after dozens of phone calls e mails etc the general opinion is that its off a 3.0 mk1 granada that probably ties in with the rear lights set up also being mk1 granada so found the bits and now we have brakes a1 again should be for a while now

[transitgeoff]

are you using it regular then neil

[Neil]

well yes and no i do run it at weekends to keep it free and to iron out faults like this its due second m o t next week but any sighn of rain and she stays put

[madmark]

brake falts are a nightmere this is why i use mine alot as for the 66 she has reasonable brakes at the moement and helps with the factory servo fitted as well

i had alot of brake problems this year turned out it was the rear flexi hose and cost be a fortune in new everything!

[Neil]

well its all new now and it stops ive got a mk2 front axle lined up so might upgrade this winter

Wow that's nice! The bizarre thing is I don't remember it from the 80s at all.

Nightmare was originally built in 1984-5 by a chap from Leek. Used to see it a fair bit at places like Nene Valley Vans and Mad Cap Vans runs.
