Hi all,
Just thought I would start a Dedicated Bedford CF Thread seeing as I own one myself !!. I`m sure most of you have seen my Van by now, but here`s the Build Thread again anyway, from "Retro Power`s" Website. Its based on a 1984 CF2 250 SWB ; -

The Steering Wheel has been changed since these pictures were taken, and the New Boss & 3 Spoke Chrome/Leather Mountney S/Wheel are both now in place. (Dirty Marks have been cleaned off the seats too. Lol !!).
I went over to Leicester today, and Callum from R/Power was fitting the new Edelbrock 1404 500 cfm Carb, (I stripped the EFI System off, and replaced it with an Offy 360 Inlet Manifold, and Holley 600 cfm Carb, which was too big for the 4.6 V8 Lump), so it should be Running & Mobile again now as I type this back at home !!. Its going to be kept in Storage until the end of March 2012, then fetched out again, and used through Spring & Summer. There are one or two VERY minor odds & sods to finish off which can be completed over Winter, and I`m also thinking of fitting LPG. (Finances Permitting !!). I`m looking at this Front End Kit from RPI ; -
LPG OMVL Weber 500 Holly Power Plenum 4 Barrel Rover V8 lpg system Land Rover | eBay
I know that "Impco" for instance also do LPG kits for 4 Barrel Carbs, but I thought that this RPI one might be the one to go for ??!!. As always, your Advice & Opinions on this matter would be very much appreciated, and if anyone knows of one of these Kits up for sale, with or without the LPG Tank etc, then please let me know !!. Oh yes, before I go, I have found a Spares Company in Australia, that do a New Rubber Seal Kit for Cf`s, and they also separately do the Sponge Rubber Door Seals, with the Plastic "Bayonet" Fasteners, which sit all around the inside of the
door frame, for $45.00 AUD each. Thought this may be helpful, as apart from Front Screen Rubbers, you cant buy the other Rubbers anywhere new in the UK now as far as I am aware !!. (I suppose someone will now tell me I`m wrong after Months of Searching. Lol !!).
