Try acetone.... It's surely cheaper james

I believe this is unlikely to happen as the flange on the stud has to be ground to fit passed the shoulder at the rear of the hub, hence blocking it from turning. james

Take care when ordering the replacement(s). You say the car has done some competition work. Has the ‘head been so skimmed that the push rods have been shortened? I recently had to return a set of new pushrods to Moss as the ‘head has been so modified and my tubular pushrods so shortened that the solid replacements left no room for the adjustment of the rockers. james

Tim, if you have the room, go for the biggest one you can afford! I have a much smaller one, 25litres, which is just adequate for my limited skills - but I do regret not going for the next size up james

I've been using Grose jets on my HS6 float chambers for well over 40 years. They solved a permanent smell of leaking fuel at the time. Curiously, given the above remarks, I have only praise for them!! Maybe the quality of manufacture has changed for the worse. james

If I translate directly it’s an impulse switch, the gubbins says it comes back to its initial position. At least I hope that is what it does! james

I quite like this idea although it looks a tad fragile. The overall length is 13cm so The stalk is probably about 11cm - enough to be within reach of a finger with a hand on the steering wheel https://www.racingmotorshop.fr/carrosserie-eclairage/electricite/interrupteur-et-prise/10649-interrupteur-a-impulsion-tige-ronde-2-positions.html?gad_source=4&gclid=CjwKCAjw5v2wBhBrEiwAXDDoJYXJP8PojY0yUnjCJhR8KcYorfipv0O-cnbVq3uriprf1uTBq3GBghoCmaUQAvD_BwE james

No beer then. I was of course winding ya up. I can do it quietly in the comfort of my own garage, when I get home! james

That’s what I require! ps If you wish to use my 3A at Malvern to demonstrate to all how to install your gismo, no charge. In fact I might even buy you two beers. james

For the price of another oil filter and an oil covered arm, I would like to know what that noise is!! james

I had fun for three years with a 2015 200SLK. Why the K, I don’t know as by that time they had lost the Kompressor. One of the more electronically unreliable cars I have owned. It left us at 1200m in deepest Slovenia with an engine management board that decided to go into ‘stolen’ mode and refused to start. Later I had problems with the wheel captors failing which turned most things off. Fortunately all taken care of with an excellent warranty which I had the prudence to negotiate at purchase from the MB dealer. It had less room in the cockpit than my TR3 and when the roof

Unless I’ve missed something the question of disengaging the OD without changing gear has not been raised. A simple touch on the momentary switch? Very useful around here on the local roads where I very often move between 3rd and 3rd OD and back to 3rd james

Dream on!! james
