But what about the diff, with no bottom drain plug?

Mine looks positively mint compared to you old one, you must have bigger spiders/ rats in the east or the gators got to it

Hi
I am looking to replace my (soggy,saggy and perforated) original Gearbox tunnel, there seem to be a number of different materials (plastic or fibreglass) and suppliers.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

I have had a response back from Moss also confirming that the CP Supercharger, is "no longer available, it is currently being re-designed, however no due date when available" (Kit 150-118).
I have asked what element they are "redesigning" would be interested to know....

The Moss Supercharger for CP UK cars is now NLS... ??
I was saving my pocket money for that..

Here's my mk2 from Paul

What do you use to join the rear wings to the rear deck.
Or use a small rubber beading trim strip, or fill with flexible filler and spray over.
Any proven methods welcome
Thanks

New speedo and tacho cables,realising my gearbox tunnel seems to be made from soggy hardboard!

Had the pleasure of fixing my drive today...
Ordered new drive and right angle as prep, but found that the drive "spring" had frayed seized and caused the drive to snap, but the original looking (brass lock ring) right angle, looked good once cleaned, undid the little screw, filled with light 3in1, and reassembled..
So new cable and drive original right angle..
Works well, but a bit wobbly, past 75

ah, Dremmel of course, one for my christmas list!

I also have the pleasure of replacing the speedo drive this weekend, but have been told you remove the seat and the y frame, then can just lift one side up to access the drive...
I assume your route you still need to cut out the inspection holes anyway, I may consider same option then for future oil changes, but presumably you still remove the tunnel this once and cut out using a fine jigsaw blade?

Same model, but cheaper than Maplin!

Pete Cox +1, quality work, fantastic value.

Pete Cox did a great job for me, fantastic vfm..

So super charge or back to PI then, probably need to talk to moss about fitting to Rhd and clearance around steering column.....
-
Thanks, the other important factor is I want some omph, but maintain driveability in traffic, so going back to standard PI or Super Charging seem best route..

Would the CR manifold, provide less power than the original CP ones?
Peter, as you are the expert all things supercharged, have many put them on RHD CP with higher compression, and is the Moss kit as simple as it seems, bolt on with new waterpump, tune the single carb and sort timing?

So, I have a 1971 PI and the PO removed all of the PI system, just leaving the Dissy Pedestal, and plumbing in the boot (but with a cheap electric pump) and installed twin SU's.
Car runs well now that I have removed the waxstat jets, but look to get a bit more sparkle back.
So options seem to be :
Go back to PI keep it original, but will need lots of parts Professionally fitted.
Go the Weber route seems to be a good option but seems expensive and complex to set up.
Or the Moss Super Charger - that although the outright purchase is much higher "seems" simpler to install (i.e. I could do it, single carb linkage, swap out the waterpump..).
Priorities are in order reliability, performance, cost, originality.
Answers on a postcard.... ;o)

What jets do you have, I had HS6's with waxstat jets that caused these exact issues, I swapped them out for standard jets, and no more issues...
I could have replaced the wax capsule with 2 one pence pieces (cheap fix) but the jets seemed in poor shape.

I am looking for some help with two issues that may be the same:
Car is a PI converted to SU's
1. Car runs fine at speed
, and in traffic before it warms up, but once it has been driven for 20 mins plus it runs badly in traffic, it seems like a fuel / carb issue and it seems quite hot under the bonnet...Could it be the carbs getting too hot from the exhaust manifold and causing issues, and once the car is up to speed it gets enough cool air?
2. The previous steel tank was shot and full of ****, so I have replaced it with an alloy one, and due to issue above pulled out the pump and filter that seemed to still have some rusty **** in, now as the car seems to run ok at speed I dont think 1 above is related to this, but the questions is since both seem to have been filled with rusty **** (at the filter was on the output side of the pump)it is probably worth replacing, and if so what with? The current pump seems to be a "fuelflow"?? with a Bosch filter, presumambly I dont need to go the Lucas or Bosch route for the pump as it is SU's ie something like a facet fuel pump? I also have a malpassi fuel filter / pressure regulator inline in the engine bay.

Also, I assume used in reverse, equally good in filling a diff rather than trying to fill with a 1 litre bottle and tube...
