Hi Peter,
I've obtained another just in case, and it doesn't rattle. Nor did the unit removed, but if the loose component will be OK, I'd rather leave it on. I weighed up the risks on the day. It is a bit more awkward for me to get back under the car to effect a swap than the average person, and I have a gut feel that the filter is better made than to be "broken" by a drop of a metre to the floor. I wondered if anyone had experienced the phenomenon and found it to be non-critical, saving me the bother. Agree with all rationale expressed!! Had there been the slightest indication that all was not normal during the road test, I wouldn't be asking the question. I'll still sleep on it, but if anyone can reassure me, so much the better! Off to WyeDean's monthly meeting shortly, so I'll ask there too.
Best wishes Willie

Thanks Stuart,
I will ask, but would that mean the looseness [with no visible movement that I can see] would be ok to leave as is?

Hi Stuart,
Would the K&N have one of these? A pal asked that question.

Thanks James. I am hoping someone can say if there is [harmless] experience of this. Nothing severe has happened to the cartridge compared to operating conditions!

Hi All,
Is it a serious threat if a K&N filter sounds as if there is something loose internally when it is shaken gently? I put such a unit in on Sunday during oil & filter change, and gave it a short run to refuel. I was going to ask the question on the day, but I got locked out when trying to log in to ask! Oil pressure is completely normal, but I just want to be sure. The filter did roll off the bench so it could have been shaken up!

Great suggestion Peter. At £3.85 inc postage, I've sent for one. See pic attached for size comparison with AUE34. The unit is obviously larger.

I ordered the part in the link. It arrived today, but unfortunately the outer body diameter looks to be smaller than AUE34!

Hi Mark, AUE34 is too small to drill out to be wide enough. I am hoping someone can steer me to a supplier of a giant version of AUE34. The unit supplied is in reality the size for clamping the heater cable to its water valve.
best wishes. Willie -
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know where I can obtain an actuating rod and a trunnion for opening/closing the scuttle flap which is acually the correct diameter to accommodate the aftermarket larger diameter rod? Or, a s/h set? Heater scuttle flap currently remains closed! My experience is that trunnion AUE34 is far too small.

Rich,
Many thanks - you're a star! This Forum always comes up trumps.

Thanks Mike. That gives me the basic data.

Hi Ralph,
That's what I am after - the width of the rail. I agree with the bracket being wider, but what width do I require?
Willie

Many thanks John

Thanks John. I’m hoping someone will supply those width and height dimensions.

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone supply the width and height of the chassis main rails please? I'm thinking of having a frame fabricated which will sit in the trolley jack arm and hug the side rail to hold it securely and prevent slippage of the jack on my waxy rails. All criticism welcome!

Thanks Colin. Time to go shopping!

Many thanks for the additional inputs. I will stick to the matchstick repair initially as I'm not dexterous enough to brave the clever dowel option. I'll keep that one up my sleeve. I have created this 1.5mm pilot hole starter if needs be. Willie

Plywood so I’ll try the matchstick first but revert to “fill and drill” if it doesn’t hold.
Very many thanks to everyone for the feedback Willie -
Thanks Roger

Hi Everyone,
The screws securing the r/h hinge on the cubby box lid have pulled out of the wooden dash. See photo. What is the best method of re-securing without damaging the dash?

Many thanks to everyone. I have obtained a s/h unit from a fellow Register member.
Great TR'ing to you all Willie

That's very kind of you Stuart. If needs be, I'll get in touch

Thanks for the recent comments. I'm waiting on a call from Revingtons tomorrow about a new item. They have exhausted supply of used rods. A check on Ebay shows one assembly at £70 with issues with the cap, and no evidence of a rod! No go there.

Thanks Rob & Stuart. I'll start with Revingtons. I find them very good.
