IMHO....fit the standard ratio rack.

You are very observant Marco. Yes and yes......I have nearly finished fabricating an EPAS based on an MGF unit....Nowhere near your standard of workmanship, but should work ok.

Thanks Harry...It was 44deg in my shed a couple of days ago.

After a temporary fit of the dash fascia, I have decided on pic 3 fitment....Just need to decide on the best adhesive.

Thanks Rob...Do you think the same would apply with modern replacement instruments?

Yes, I stand corrected.....must have closed off one end.

Hi Folks....I have a Rimmers cheapo moulded plastic/vinyl dash pad. Seeking advice on the best way to fit. Trim back some of the spare vinyl at the dash fascia edge, fold the vinyl back against the bottom surface of the pad, and then use adhesive to hold the pad onto the steel top surface, and into the channel? Bring the xs vinyl out and down onto the metal fascia as in pic#3, and then adhesive on the bottom surface of the pad? Comments welcomed.

As a matter of interest, do you need a stabilizer when using an alternator in place of the generator.

Those front sidestrips are not off a 4A....Those are longer and have a closed end, whereas the 4A are shorter and open end at the front....Look good though. There is also a bonnet for sale down here in Victoria.

Nice looking car....Presume your wife likes driving a manual...Otherwise changing to an automatic is worth consideration.

Steve...I would keep the extractors that you have [you know that they fit] and fit a Y piece into a single pipe of good size. Unless you are a flat out race car driver and want every last ounce of performance, there is no need to change extractors. Different design extractors are a small part in engine performance and not magic.

The measuring caliper is shown against the distributor drive shaft to show how much engagement there is to the oil pump shaft.

Hi Guys..... How much engagement should the oil pump drive tang have into thebottom of the distributor drive shaft. Mine is approx 4.3mm... I was expecting more....[Oil pump is a new replacement, so may not be as factory original]

Jase......Home made all the support panels. As to the bonnet...I welded in long additional one piece metal strips along the length of the inside aspect of the bonnet sides as shown in my pic...[trimmed down later]...I chose not to make the triangular shaped re enforcers any larger, because the side strips limit the possibility of the bending/cracking that occurs due to the fragility of the factory made bonnet...note the small return section at the corner. The reason I made the infills between the front valence and inner wing...When I had the body off the chassis, the front valance ea

Here are a few that I found.
