question about bowling on friday. re:no. of lanes

[philoldsmobile]

as the moment, we have 2 lanes reserved, enough for 14 people. as is, we simply pay upon arival.

if we have 3 lanes reserved, i will have to pay a deposit (not a problem) but of course there will be a couple less people on each lane...

on the downside, this will make the games go quicker.,

you guys would pay as normal when arriving, but i'd have to work out taking the deposit back.. (also not a problem, just a bit more work)

would you prefer 3 lanes, or are you ok with 2?

i think in realty its 12 people, so 6 people per lane.

[FUBAR]

Thought you said there was going to be more than 12 of us anyway?

[Jamieg285]

Personally, I prefer a faster flowing game, and I'm asleep by 9:30 these days (beaten only by Ryan )

[philoldsmobile]

i've booked for 14, but i believe the final number was 13.

too long between turns and you do a ryan

Get a job phil, get a job

I'm Ok with two lanes.

Rang US Auto this morning for two new rear brake cylinders , the good news is £21 each which is good for a double piston jobby , bad news is not in stock
Management took the GMC to the L&D Hospital this morning a trip of about 12 miles and the near side rear drum was smoking !
Think it's a combination of drag and brake fluid , parts permitting I'll try and get it sorted before Friday , otherwise I might be asking for a lift Jamie or PhilO !

If I'm in the Astra I can provide transport.  

If it's the Camaro, someone will have to sit on the trans tunnel, and I wouldn't recommend it over that distance.

You need a different car mate. I just called them for my bits - everything drums, pads, wheel cylinders, spring kits all in stock.

Bad news for me - £192 - might forget the drums this time round.

If you couldnt get the drums off last tmie mate they might need changing as the shoes will have worn a lip and there might not be much drum left

I know.  I am hoping that I can get them off & sort the internals this time, and then get the drums later if they really need it.

If this is the case, and bearing in mind there is no hole in the drum to back the adjusters off, what's the technique for getting them off?

[55starchief]

Pry bars and a slide hammer mate, you sure there is no hole, its normally covered by a rubber bung. It may well be covered with underseal

[55starchief]

also there is some times a CAM at the top that you turn with a large spanner
