Mmm, that's exactly the arrangement I came up with many year ago on a Rover that I owned and which persisted in running far too cool on the mostly short journeys to which it was subject.

Or would you rather be a fish? Nevertheless, sincere Christmas wishes to all and may we be surprised and delighted by a vastly improved 2021.

Many thanks for that excellent link arjay; I've just had a look at their site and if they still carry that sort of stock (the site listing is dated Jan 2016) then they're clearly able to provide everything I could possibly need for the job. Again, thanks for the tip.

Thanks Phil for the reassuring confirmation about fitting them and also the tip about the snail cam adjusters etc. Thanks too, Arjay, for the note of your own experience in the matter; it's all helpful, confidence-building stuff and very welcome.

Thanks for the heads-up Phil; I've successfully bid on them so I now need to know if there's anything untoward about fitting them to the car or if it really is as straightforward as the listing suggests. Also I'll probably need to refurbish the cylinders before fitting so I'll be looking to source a...
