Re: Rear brake pipe

So does that also mean at the front the junction with stoplight switch it is BSF in from master cylinder and UNF out to left and right front brake? No it is BSF both ends as far as I am aware.

Re: its a bit of a shock.

It's all a state of mind, most of the single roads in my area are now 50 or even 40 limits and the villages 20. A 1098 moggy will easily maintain these speeds. Never go on motorways and 55 on occasional short dual carriageway hop. Just pottering and enjoying the drive is what the car is for :tu1:

Excellent. Thank you. Now that is really interesting. I did not realise that the design of the spring hook has completely changed!

Re: 1098 Carb

Why would you fit a different carb to original manifold?
The original is perfectly OK in its application, are you having problems with it?

If its the spindle wear from you other post, have you thought of bushing it?

Re: 1098 oil pressure light pressure.

An audible alarm wired to the higher pressure is also an option :tu1: As you say Phil an early warning of dropping pressure is preferable. Oil temp is particularly advantageous In a competition engine such as yours. Did once have a rod exit the side of the block on the dyno before the oil pressure d...

Re: 1098 oil pressure light pressure.

But if it comes on driving its probably too late, much prefer a gauge, that's why
I have oil and temp guages next to each other, you get used to normal needle positions and notice if out of the norm, even when not reading the actual numbers.
