  1. I cut dow a 10mm allen key & tack welded it in but as I got older I realised it was still too much like hard work so I fitted a top filler/dip stick access plug.
  2. Only my opinion, but I don’t think links to eBay should be allowed on here.

  4. Some people think LED lights look good, each to their own. 😉
  5. I have a spare at home Lewis if you want to borrow to measure, I will be home about 17:30. Guy
  6. A few of us in ReHaB have used Burghfield Alternators & Starters near Reading. Very good
  7. Just bin them, they are not needed.
  8. As above, will work Monday RTFM 🤪
  9. Never use them and not had a problem in 22 years, I don’t think many race cars use them either.
  10. For 22 years I have always made my own throttle cables from bike shop purchased cables, & nipples, clutch cables from REDLINE every time 👍

    I would also be interested in this, if I get my head back & rebuilt in time 🤑
  12. I have a 30 year old S3 with the original AP master cylinder (new seals 10 years ago) and my pedal is great, only 1/2” travel, solid as a rock and perfect for heeling & toeing. People who have driven my car often comment on how good the brakes are for standard set up.
  13. Probably not, it’s quite common to use soap to assist with fitting rubber components that are a tight fit as it doesn’t affect the rubber where as lubricants like oil and grease will. However you only need a smear imo. ETA: You could always use red rubber grease but that’s messy and hangs about attracting dirt and carp.
  14. Hi Nigel, It’s really easy to bend, I just rolled it round a large bottle on my bench and you can cut it with a good pair of scissors or tin snips.
  15. Mine have been fine since I removed the wrap 😃
  16. Not really sure on either question, my primaries are Cheesman so good quality stainless steel. I had them wrapped from new for about 4 years when a fellow owner (Phil Waters) warned me about the problem he had, so I removed the wrap and there was definitely signs of rust and they were very badly pitted. Took a fair bit of aggressive polishing to clean them up.
  17. I gave up with wrapping the primaries as they starting rusting (stainless 🙄) have now made a shield with Nimbus double layer from Merlin Motorsport p.s. Image taken when primaries removed.
  18. Loads on eBay or SBFS or Redline
  19. I also use the Longacre but only the 30lb model so I can read it without having to find my glasses 🤓 Which ever one you buy, get one with a swivel valve stem attachment , so much easier to use/connect.
  20. Morning Dan, back home now you have 3 private messages (images too big).
  21. Hi Dan, I have a set of 13 x 6 Ford fitment 23 o/s but only 2 of the tyres are any good. I’m away until Tuesday so can send/post images then if they are any use to you. Old images below
