I've got to admit the idle is a lot smoother, far fewer rattles as I sit in the traffic

Wrong colour but it will do

Seasons jollyfications to one and all, here's hoping Santa hasn't forgotten Ted the traveller

Someone else has had the same problem but they did get their car back minus a few bits

All I can say is keep trying to contact them.

Excellent on getting it sorted Funny you should mention about the car running better I noticed a difference as well, wonder if it's the car goes better with a good stereo type phenomenon.

I had this on one of my campers, turned out to be a loose LT lead on the coil. As described by BMC unburned fuel passed into the hot exhaust and - BANG.

Ring those Solstice bells and roll on the summer

Pullers are more efficient than pushers but as you said there is more room in front of the rad. Since the original fan is such a small affair I don't think there will be a problem with a modern lekky fan having that bit less performance through being a pusher and yes it definitely should be wired in...

I just love the idea of a Shorrocks

Yes maybe not the best comparison by me but think about how an impact would act on filler then how a proper wood frame would cope, a bit like comparing a vase with a gate post, again not a great analogy but you get my drift.

I guess many people have, many have also driven round with filler holding metal door posts and chassis rails together. The choice is theirs but I wouldn't be happy even if it did have a nice shiny coat of paint on it.

Ah sorry, a bit of heat with a blow torch should shift it.

Either that or cut the nut off with a hacksaw.

Looks like it's had a body chop

Lovely piece of engineering

Found one for a Tie Fighter when rummaging through a box at an Evil Empire jumble on Tatooine. Home maintenance on an Imperial spaceship is fraught with danger though, the breakdown truck took ages to get there

Not sure yet, he's not long got the equipment and is busy sorting out enquiries for tubular manifolds for Holbay engines I'll ask him to give a ball park figure.

A mate of mine has just got a programmable mandrel tube bender and is starting up making exhausts (he already makes body panels for Commer PB's), I can see if he's willing to make Minor one's if anyone is interested. He's making standard bore and 1 3/4" ones for Commers (which is plenty big eno...

So do I, just seemed an odd number and thought it could have been a re-build date.

Does the crank turn freely with bearing caps in place and no thrust washers?
