    *arrowup* My spacers were supplied with new harnesses in April 2011. Jonathan

    Spacers: I found the ones supplied by Titon and my original ones from Caterham were just too tight to allow free swivelling. I'll see how many I have left. Jonathan

    As GJT. Titon offered to make them the way I wanted, weren't expensive and were very good to deal with. The spacers they supplied didn't have quite enough shoulder: see previous thread, and does anyone want to buy some of the ones I had made? Jonathan

    Thanks Jonathan

    Thanks Does all current UK fuel that has RON >95 use ethanol to achieve that? Jonathan
  8. Jonathan Kay
    Please could you explain about lower octane fuel having higher calorific value? Is this a well-known fact, and what's the underlying chemistry? Thanks Jonathan

    *arrowup* *arrowup*I don't think that's a myth. FBHVC have notes on discussions with the Department for Transport Jonathan

    *arrowup* *arrowup*Thans for the explanation. I was wondering why you homed in on the main light switch. Is there a simple way to convert the flash switch circuit so that it's low current, and fused appropriately, presumably with an extra relay? When you say "original loom" has it been changed? Jonathan
  11. Jonathan Kay
    Could you do the experiment blinded as to what fuel is in? Get someone else to fill it and not tell you... Jonathan

    Harnesses and flasher unit, please Jonathan

    Quoting Looptheory: Is the higher RON fuel ok for the older cars?AFAIK there is never a problem with using too high an octane rating of any petrol in any engine (other than wasting money). There may be a problem with additives, but that was mostly about moving to unleaded fuel. But I may well be out of date. The only thing I've read recently was a description of how fuel is adjusted for particular conditions in F1: possibly on James Allen's site, but it was longer and more detailed than this. Do we have a BC expert on fuel? Jonathan

    Thanks Jonathan
  15. Jonathan Kay
    Glad you've found the cause. Can you explain the effect of declutching, which you originally observed? Jonathan
  16. Jonathan Kay
    I think that this is the definitive guidance. There's quite a lot of discussion in the archives. Jonathan

    I need to replace the socket I use for charging the battery and mobile 'phone. Typical cigar lighter type, bulkhead fitting. Any model you'd recommend? Thanks Jonathan
  18. Jonathan Kay
    Glad it's fixed. Impressive service. That should attract a lot of business. Jonathan

    Is the problem with the Emerald that it wants more volts or more revs? Jonathan
  20. Jonathan Kay
    Voltage sounds OK for cranking, but are you sure that there isn't still a possibly resistive connection between where you are measuring the feed voltage and the internals of the starter? What's the connection there? If it's a post then there isn't another connection. If it's a bolt etc I suggest you dismantle, clean, and try again. Jonathan

    Capacitative sensor, as used on aircraft? Jonathan
  22. Jonathan Kay
    Recent thread here about repairs to speedometers. Jonathan
  23. Jonathan Kay
    :-) So far I've only found data before 2010 and from the USA... Jonathan
  24. Jonathan Kay
    It used to use a lot of power, but maybe I'm out of date... anyone know the power consumption of current systems? Jonathan

    If you can't find metric bolt cutters then 15/32" Imperial is very close. Jonathan Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 20 Aug 2012 17:44:50
