    Quoting Mankee: Sometimes they can be seized into the upright, which is a bit of a pain. But there is a kind method using a nut and a bolt to "pop" the pin out of the taper without resorting to massive hammers, ball joint splitters and lots of blue language. mind you, if you are changing the ball joints, it doesn't matter if you shred the boots, I guess... here Works every time

    It arrived today 🥰

    The Vecta immobiliser is very unreliable on 1400 ss and is likely to leave you stranded so is best removed. Do a search on here and there are several threads. The original company that supplied these is long gone.

    Hi Jonathan Please put me down for one of your spares Thanks Malcolm

    Well done for fixing this Mike, it seems the owner of the Stag walked out yesterday!

    Ok I'll send the CC loom diagram
  8. Englishmaninwales
    CC loom or Rover engine loom? I can do the former. Malcolm

    Stuart I got the same as Stu Forshaw,(1800 k ported VHPD head and cams, Jenvys, Emerald made 220bhp and 161 lb ft on Emeralds rollers) with the same injectors. Malcolm

    Quoting johnv: Quoting Englishmaninwales: IMO not good practice to jack on the central crucifix. 😳 that's where they told us to jack up the front on the GTKYC day! That doesn't necessarily make it good practice. As I said...IMO *smile*

    As Mav and Dave Morris. IMO not good practice to jack on the central crucifix.

    I think single occupancy is £75, but Judith will check tomorrow Malcolm

    There is a double room still available at the Stag Inn Redhill , about 10 minutes walk (allegedly 😬) from Billsley Manor Hotel £75 B+B for the Awadrs Dinner night. Judith block booked 4 rooms and this one is still free. Please let us know asap otherwise we will cancel it. Malcolm

    Gary Thanks, that sounds all reassuring about the front end chassis replacement . Malcolm

    Thanks everyone, very helpful. My car has removeable engine bay triagulation and Arch will retain this. Paul D - YHM Malcolm

    After bending my car at Anglesey recently, it will require a trip to Arch for a new 'long front'. The car has a 1994 'universal chassis' fitted up for a K series. I am considering fitting the later post 1996 design with 'improved' front suspension arrangement. Bruce at Arch confirmed this is possible but I' m interested to hear from anyone who has already done this. Other than the differences in the pickups for the wishbones and dampers and increased length of dampers, are there any other considerations and 'gotchas'? I think the expansion bottle pick ups differ requiring the later round type expansion tank. Malcolm

    You've already had my spare one! You must be collecting them Malcolm

    As Stu says for the turret bolts and also use lots of coppergrease. I ve just removed my cage and they came out easily, compared to the previous occasion when I removed the roll bar fitted by CC in 2004...
  21. Englishmaninwales
    Yes I've done that and when the screw driver slipped it shot across the garage

    here (The item description is incorrect as it is a crank locking tool)
  23. Englishmaninwales
    Shaun If you are going further into the engine (and the engine is out of the car), a crank locking tool is essential for the front pulley bolt. I can send you mine if you wish, or look on eBay - they are about £20 Malcolm
  24. Englishmaninwales
    Me too, if I'm not too late? Thanks. Malcolm
  25. Englishmaninwales
    Jez That wasn't clear in your original post. To imply it is a folly (without clarifcation) might result in people with road cars buying new hubs at every front wheel bearing change, which IMO is not necessary. I agree that for a race car the threshold for replacement of all components is much much lower, and indeed that is how I treat my car (that spends 99% of its time as a hillclimbing and sprint car) Malcolm
