Trusting you are running your car negative earth if you have a regular type of cigarette lighter power socket, or the accessory you plug in will fry. Friend managed to wreck his sat nav in his Dart by doing just that. Found the Amazon one £3.00 cheaper with postage included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156012265030?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111451%26meid%3D6d4d3def856e4151a33046d7f8f943cc%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D403045476698%26itm%3D156012265030%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5P

And we struggled to sell new hardtop shells in primers with headlining for £75.00. We also had fully finished in body colour and glazing with fitting kits that sold for £250. Get in your TARDIS and pop back to 1988.

It will be reshaped on the lathe. Balancing after that will be minimal or even unnecessary

Which is why you do not have dampers that are very firm. You can end up with ‘jack down’ where the suspension is compressed but the spring is not strong enough to extend against a very firm damper.

My delight when driving in Wales came when driving on the motorway……at 50 mph. Both lanes blocked by traffic doing 49 to 51 mph. The police car with siren and lights was refused progress along the road by all traffic. Not a single vehicle moved to allow it to pass. It resorted to weaving onto the hard shoulder to get further down to the road faster than the traffic. Good to see the emergency services are not hindered by the territorial governments speed policy. Similar deal in London. If you are sat at a red traffic light and an emergency services vehicle on a shout com

My brother has kindly welded up the loose shaft and timing weight plate in a DM2 distributor. It was loose and moving axially plus radially by about 15 degrees. New ones are around but the welding is a nice workshop solution. Originals are crimped together. If this fails it is off to DD. Next job is machine the excess weld off to get the weights to fit ok. That’ll fix the points and timing scatter the old distributor had….that being the best part of 15 degrees of slop. Made timing the engine as good as impossible as the advance and retard randomly changed when driving.

This has been covered before. I still have a couple of car sets of original Triumph NOS top inner wishbone rubber bushes. There are 8 on a car. As discussed before.

How are you connecting the wiring loom to the motor? The loom wires at the motor terminate in bullet connections. The single speed motor has Lucar blade connections. Here’s a trick. Remove the motor from its installation and isolate it electrically. Remove the rack so you have the motor and gearbox in your hand. . Puta towel under it so it cannot short out to the car body. IE no earth connections anywhere. Disconnect the motor from the loom and its earth wire and run two wires with Lucar connectors on them to your wiper motor. Connect them to the wiper motor Lucar termi

My research did not find any available in the UK either. Hence no response. There seems to be mild steel available in UK. Alternative is T7 Designs billet aluminium that the would need a bit of fiddling to install https://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/heater-connector-on-bulkhead-3. You could ring them and ask if they do a stainless one. https://www.t7design.co.uk/13-13mm-1-2-1-2-bulkhead-hose-adapter-narrow-c55-8d1-cc6.html

As you are in Oz Go and get one of these and fit it. https://www.tridon.com.au/products/Tridon/35/479/thermostats-and-gaskets/528046/thermostat-high-flow The 82 degree one I have in my car works just right.

If the shocks are oily externally they are leaking and need repairing. This is probably a failure on MOT tests. To get you home you can just top them up but they will still need repairing. Yes topping up is done on the car. Thoroughly clean the shocker of all dirt, mud and other road debris before attempting to remove the filler plug. Turn the plug half a turn to undo and clean again before removing the plug fully. No dirt must get in the shock absorber. Use a clean syringe or appropriate spout to top up to level. Refit plug.

Mine is on the LH inner front wing opposite the distributor/engine mounted coil.

Bit like the Spanish registered TR7 booked into our workshop once for a full service…..with a Ford engine and gearbox fitted. The mechanic working on the car noticed the points would not fit.

The question is whether the fork end is wide enough to ensure the push rod operates in a direct axis with the cylinder piston. I know on my car I had Glen at Protek widen the fork ends to ensure the push rod were on axis with the pistons.

Does your engine currently have the snorkel type breather pipe fitted in the side of the block? If not be prepared for a bit of a game in removing the core plug that is in the hole that you want to place the breather in.

Off the shelf. Is this ready made adjustable one any use? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133581638897?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20231016072133%26meid%3D8ea459227d6d4ed9ad3160102ade03a8%26pid%3D101878%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D25%26sd%3D133581638185%26itm%3D133581638897%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4536401%26algv%3DPromotedCompV5WithHighAdFeeWithKnnRecallV1PostRankerMode1PBoosterV3a%26fpg%3D0&_trksid=p4536401.c101878.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A1335816388978ea459227d6d4ed9ad3160102ade03a8|enc%3AAQAJAAABICDPpW%2B6jo56SpbdyywYaBqD%2Bi3VZzH5U

You say the clip is useless. I suspect you are struggling with repro arms as the genuine l(Lucas?) ones I have feature a good spring clip that retains the arm to the wheel box once the clip engages in the unsplined part of the wheel box stem. We used to get Tex arms that had a screw fitting that when tightened moved a crescent shaped lock into the unsplined groove. Those arms could only be removed if the screw was loosened. This could become a ‘show and tell’ article if I go digging in the garage. One thing I do recall is that the collet fit arms on TR2/A30 etc were continuall

Just one addition to the assessment tests. Check there is end float on the armature in the casing. You should be able to move the armature axially by a small amount (upto 1mm or 0.040”). This is adjusted by a screw and lock nut on some motors and by a screw only on others. If in doubt slacken it half a turn and recheck. If it is tight the armature will not rotate easily if at all. I test by shaking the motor. You can hear the armature moving and being stopped by the limit screw.

How about photographing the thing you want to use crop to size and inserting that?

Have you bought a TARDIS Hoges and gone back to being a teenager? WTF are they supposed to signify? I just spotted the smiley face at the top rh of the options bar. I have also pressed all the other symbols and cannot work out what some of them actually do. Is this an age thing?
