I have recently been modernising a Dandy, and wondered if any of the other owner might want to modernise thier's, so I have posted the photo's on my web site.

If anyone needs any information on how to do this please do not hesitate to contact me.

Looking good Gerald. What did you cover the cupboard with?  I like the locker box, its a good idea - might come to you at some point for the measurements etc and get someone to make me one. How do you intend securing it on - will you fix it where the old style gas bottle clamps are?

Sorry for all the questions - but so many ideas from you that I want to do to mine!

I covered the cupboards with some fablon plastic washable self stick, I got this from Home Bargains at 80p per roll and used 6 rolls in all.

I will fix the locker with bolts through the original gas holder points with a large steel washer internally and nylock nut on the outside.

Hi mike

            I have a kit of rivets from Screwfix which have all the sizes for £9.99 700 in all, and arivet gun from the same place, although as I now do a lot of riveting I use a lazytong rivet gun but this cost me £29.99

You can get the lazy tong rivet gun for about £16 (£8 & £8 Postage) on ebay.

These are better than the normal gun in that they have greater power and split the rivet in 1 go, rather than you having to press and release the normal gun handles about 2 or 3 times.

Cant see anything, the pic doesnt work for me, anyone else with this problem.....damn I hate it when this happens

Hi Andy, you can't see the pics, as GC is updating the site at the moment, will be back on soon.
