Chuck key still in the soddin' chuck. naughty, naughty.

Sent one of the kids under the car. :D "HOF250W" Not showing on Halfords, as you say. This might work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114227594114?var= Jaguar S-Type Saloon 3.0 V6 (1999 - 2008) 175kW VW Golf Mk IV 1.6 (1997 - 2005) 75kW Audi TT Coupe 1.8 T quattro (1998 - 2006) 165kW VW Golf Mk IV 2 (19...

Plug in the back of the Lockheed master cylinder where a stub can be fitted for a remote reservoir. It is 1 inch x 20 tpi, UNEF. Same thread as pop-off valve on the Shorrocks supercharger. On page one it says BSC but I'm somewhat doubtful of this since 1 BSC is 26 tpi.

It was a Halfords HOF 205 or 250. I can't recall which and it's turned so I can't see it.

Not tempted to fit the screw on filter conversion?

948 Vedette Engine block and crank, early Mini tappet covers, A+ timing gear with duplex chain, 2-ring (2A948?) 1100 camshaft, 12G295 head, 1275 head studs etc

Mini MPI exhaust manifold fitted to a 12G295 (at last)

Marina backplate in that advert, but easy enough to cut a new one out of Ali using a 1098 and a Marina one to give gearbox holes and oil pump holes locations. Adding the oil pump cover is a bit more of an issue. I think Peter May used to sell them new?

I like the stuff you write, Phil. Always finding the definitive answer by 'doing it' first.

Thanks.

I can just get a finger between the engine bay crossmember and the bolt head holding the gearbox on. Same as the photo from Michiel above.

Series MM stubs are much smaller. Looks like the .875 is for one of those.

Thanks, gents. Bryan, how much for a set?

I'm trying to temporarily get an ALTA engine back into use for somebody by refitting the original SV parts but don't have the valve springs, caps or keepers. I still have new valves here but need the other bits that I previously used elsewhere on someone elses engine. Anyone got any going spare?? Ta...

Any reason not to buy new ones?

If the end of the cable is at all frayed it starts to get like putting a coat onto a reluctant 4- year-old kid. Fingers splay out!

Lots of alloy rads for about the same price, which is interesting when you consider how much more radiator you get from the Chinese alloy ones. About 1cm. Too bloody wide to fit in the car without cutting and welding the front panel. :evil: PS Only bought it so I could easily weld on some added extr...

i VERRRRRY GENNNNNNTLY eased the chrome to the right shape before it went in. It gets slightly bent every time it gets levered out.

Good luck!

That panel hole would make a fancy charger socket for an I-phone.

Might possibly be crudded up at the bottom of the float chamber where it leads up to the needle. Can you lift out the brass float? It does sound like a lack of fuel getting through. Does the piston visibly rise when it first fires?
