Yes Harvey, I thought the welded one was was only a lashing eye. Colin, I was hoping that there would be some holes in the base unit specifically for the mounting of the towing eye fitted on NADA cars and then, with the help of a picture, I could make the bracket and simply bolt it on. I can't...

Thank you Clive. I see you actually have a nada V8 under restoration. Are you able to post a photo of the eye and bracket in position or do you have a parts diagram showing the part please? David

Thanks for the response and for taking the trouble to post the diagram. I do have that part welded to the crossmember but because it's welded, it can't be the one referred to in the manual which states "remove fixings securing towing eye bracket and withdraw the bracket". As it has to be...

Hello, I'm just preparing SXE ( ex Pilkie 1968 P6 V8) for a classic car regulatory rally and I must provide an easily accessible and marked front and rear towing points. I've made and fitted the rear but the front is more of a challenge. In the WM under the section for removal of the front...

Thanks again for all the advice. Today, whilst I had the car up on a lift to do put some wheel rotation sensors in place I had a look at the run of the fuel line but I'm not sure whether it's standard or not.

Many thanks Colin for your rapid response and sound advice. I've now read through many of the previous posts and will try the remedies mentioned. There was a great deal said about vaporisation in and and around the carbs but air bubbles in the fuel filter indicate the vapour is in the fuel line...

Firstly, hello again all. I've just checked and I can't believe how long it is since I was last on the forum and SXE has been in storage since then! I am sad to find that we have lost Pilkie but at least his former beloved P6 lives on! I've posted to this thread because I have a similar...

Hello Gerald, Thanks for you response, it appears that you know of the Singer so I attach a picture of the car. I use the Singer for quite long journeys from time to time and it has been driven to Le Mans, driven the circuit (not raced ) and driven back to UK, so certainly no trailer queen! The...

Hello all, My name is David and I've been registered on the forum for a while so thought time to say "hello". I had a few P6s back in "the day", the last being a 3500S and when my son (who has happy childhood memories of travelling in mine) bought a V8, built in his year of birth (1972), I just...
