Title: Hello
Post by: oggysc5 on 14, October, 2009 - 22:02:16
Hello.
We have 2 c5's and live in Carnforth in the north west of sunny England.

We hope 2 come to the 25th anniversary of the c5. Do we need to register anywhere?

Also a quick question. What can we use to make our c5 nice and white again as they are a bit dirty and was not sure what to clean them with.

Many thanks in advance

Steve and Shellie  :)

Hi - good to have another couple as members, my wife was starting to feel she was the only female who uses a c5  :), hopefully we'll get to meet up on a few of the runs/meetings. Although this years events are slowly coming to a close we're already planning stuff for next year - so keep an eye on the meetings section of the forum.

I'll be asking for details of those who want to show their c5's at "C5-25" a little later in the year.

Cleaning advice can be found on these links;

Thanks for the welcome and the links.
Will get stripping and cleaning our old one ( Not running yet but soon will be hopefully ) tomorrow in the shop ( We have a bike shop , it attracts a lot of attention in there :D )
No idea what the new one is like ( Just bought it today and picking up tomorrow, This one runs ) But will have that one sparkly for Jan 2.

Anyone know of where we can get indicators and wing mirrors for our c5's?

Hi and welcome - you can buy wing mirrors from Adam Harper - think his Sinclair reasearch is in the links section - indicators are a bit harder to find at the moment.

You're not wrong , C5Martin recently sold an original boxed indicator kit for over £200 .

I've got a "mint" box fresh set of indicators kept back for display at C5-25. If the price of them keeps going up I'll need to get Securicor to guard them  ;D

Has any one got a circuit for the indicators, doesn't have to be the C5 one. I did have one that was used to add indicators to a classic car that wasn't fitted with them.

If not i will have to design my own.

LED indicators orderd, so will let you know when they arrive and are fitted.
