I was told by Wadham's that they did not have this section. Weekley's was the same, before he sold his stock on. I think its a case of make good what you've got, as I had to do. Regards Mike

No, the hockey stick is supplied up to the cranked seal retainer (retainer included in supply) that holds the vertical part of the wing seal. I've just completed this repair on the O/S of mine and had to chop the front section off the old hockey stick and weld it at the join of the new seal...

Steve I have a Burlen SU reference catalogue, and this shows that the HD8 carbs were fitted to the 1966 model. For a 1972 TC the book shows there were two carb spec's used for that year. In the USA (1969 - 1974) 4 cylinder with E.C.E, the carb spec's are: AUD 411F & AUD 411R. For a 1972 TC...

I've just bought a set of pistons and rebuild kits from Past Parts. When I was at their shop the other day, the chap there also confirmed to me they don't sell stainless steel pistons for these models. They tend to "supply and fit stainless steel pistons and liners to older cars", and these...

Steve I've just checked my parts book for the P6 2000SC & TC models, and they list part no. 554424 as the exhaust valve. I know the 2200 models can run on unleaded so I'm not sure if these valves are fitted in these engines. Regards Mike

I passed the house today and there's now an almond V8 parked in the drive. Often there's a four cylinder white series one or red series two parked outside. I understand that the chap who used to run Turnpike Motors, funny enough near where I used to live in London, has moved near Diss, so it...

Classicus I found the best way to remove the rear calipers is as follows. Jack rear of car clear off the ground and support, and remove wheels. Bend back the tabs and remove the 4 bolts securing the drive shaft to the brake disc and diff flanges. You will note that the drive shaft will...

Matt I was told by someone that if the problem happens you describe, then remove the two bolts securing the slave cylinder and let it hang down so its supported by the flexible pipe. With bleed nipple pointing upwards, loosen the nipple to allow any air to vent out. Obviously make sure no...

The last time I was at Walker's in Chelmsford, about 18 months ago, I'm sure they had a box load of bonnet badges. If anyone needs one, they might be worth a call.

Arthuy I had a similar problem with the fan speed on the heater in my V8. When I moved switch between 2 & 3 there was no difference in fan speed. When I removed the mechanism, from the side of the lower facia, if I remember via removing two nuts at the rear, the metal button at position 2...
