Thanks John, I'd already seen the RTR page and have sent them an email asking if they can remember what springs were fitted to these units.

I obtained most of a Lucas metering unit with the altitude compensator on the base. Obviously there are parts missing, I am hoping I can cannibalise a standard MU for parts but I would like to see pics or schematics of this unit so I can see what is actually missing, does anyone have any? Ian

Ran EFI on my TR6 and now run triple DCOE 40's on my 2.5l Mk1 GT6, my cruising MPG is similar across both, seeing 32mpg on a long run. If you do a lot of spirited driving with lots of throttle action, the DCOE's will consume 14-15 mpg happily, the experience is worth it however.

I have to remove my camshaft tomorrow, I know that I need to remove the distributor and drive gear, do I need to remove the MU and the dizzy housing too? I'm just looking to minimise the reassembly. Ian

My wife carefully removed the black vinyl cover from my H frame bracket in preparation for fitting a leather cover, unfortunately there are a couple of areas where the foam has been lost. Can anyone recommend a suitable filler product to smooth these gaps out?

In keeping with its usual habit of fighting me, today's foible is with headlight relay fitting. I have wired up two relays, one to take the input from the light switch (thicker blue/white & blue/red wires) and to send an output to both the headlight blue/white & blue/red terminals. If I have everything wired up the main beam warning light is always on, if I put the main beam switch on, the headlights light up, if it's off there is no light. Had enough for tonight, could be spending Xmas day on this one.

I have recently changed my fuel pump over to a sytec pump and removed the Lucas equipment, this included removing a solid steel pipe that ran from the original filter housing to a vent hole next to the filler tube. As I say, this was a solid pipe for all of its length, no t-piece or adaptor anywhere. I was checking my boot today and I smelt petrol, after pulling some foam between the fuel tank and the cockpit trim board I found a thin bore metal pipe, having read up on it I believe this is the MU return pipe. What I don’t understand is why I haven’t noticed that this pipe is hanging loose befo

As I've been posting, I have had trouble with my car ever since a Garage fitted an engine and reconditioned PI kit. Thanks to the tremendous advice I have received on here, I got to the point where my car would idle at 950 RPM cold and around 1050 RPM hot, after blipping the throttle to get it to drop a bit! I then borrowed an inlet manifold setting tool, on trying to fit this, it was apparent that the three manifolds are not aligned at all well, I sent photographic evidence to the garage and my car is now back with them and they will refit the system once again. Unfortunately, on stopping
