Cobraboy is still waiting to sell his fan!

I wonder if this thread could be blown any further adrift from @cobraboy s sales thread for, ironically, a fan blade. GLWTS. Colin

All without removing the decker panel! Have you thought about taking up Gynaecology? :D

That was the practical benefit of it, whether it was deliberate...who knows?

Most of Europe have a legal requirement to carry a warning triangle, Sweden being one of them.

I had one of these a short while ago for an engine build up, which had done the same as yours. They came in various lengths. - Universal Carburettor Throttle Linkage Rod 6 inch | eBay Colin

Ford wheel studs are the same thread so can give you a larger source of supply. Yes, there are plenty on Ebay.

Having just gone out and looked at mine, The wire is a round ring like a circlip which holds the grommit out against the base unit hole. After removing the filler neck, remove the wire circlip which is in the bottom internal convolution which will then allow you to pull out the grommit. It may...

It would be at least something if they tidied up their qualifying periods for MOT and road tax exemptions. Before anyone says anything, I know it still needs tax, but it's zero rated. MOT is 40 yr anniversary from first registration, however tax is from April the following year. I've just...

Yes, Two countries separated by a common language.

My mistake it may not be lower, but I've had the fixing stud leak. Just something to check. Have a couple of pics to show its location, there's usually sealant of some sort under the top nut. - Although the right side, this shows how far forward it is (angled brace on right out of shot)...

The other thing to check is that the forward fixing stud for the decker panel in not letting water past, because that is lower than the filler hole in the base unit.

Make sure you get good fuel hose (cohline) from a reputable source (ie. not off ebay, too much counterfeit stuff about). You need J30 R9/10 spec (R9 for external, R10 for internal or submerged). I get mine from - Classic Microcars / AJL Electronics Gloucester Get the stainless hose clips...

If there's a vacuum in the pipe, although not a true vacuum which depends on throttle position. Then it's going 1 bar max, subject to altitude. ;)

The filter should go after the sedimenter bowl, the sedimenter bowl takes out the larger pieces and any water, and the filter then takes out the fines. A clean up of the fuel system would be a good idea if for no more than piece of mind. The fuel reserve is obtained by the use of two pumps...

Judging by the engraved 'T' in a circle, are they aftermarket gears?

The Otter switch is the triangular switch on the inlet manifold. The most likely biggest hurdle will be the bolts that hold it in shearing off.

Presumably you know to use vacuum hose and not ordinary hose? Vacuum hose is braced against collapsing, whereas ordinary stuff isn't.

Is this lack of power a new thing? Has it been better previously? Those compression readings do seem a bit low, is it a low compression engine? What's the engine number? Have you had the carbs off the manifold? Is there a restrictor in the manifold? Colin

The deep part or well of the sump on P6b is in the middle of the sump, the well on the SD1 is at the rear. There will be more leverage from the pick up screen because the pick up pipe is longer. It's probably done to alleviate any fatigue in it. If you're worried, fabricate a brace from a main...

'Lower port'? It is usual, but I would agree it's questionable, so that it's easier to access. However, I would be tempted to pipe it to somewhere even easier, that way you can swap them over.

Replace the brake pipes while it's out, it's a lot easier on the floor than when it's in the car. ;)

I can see that he intends to use two idler arms so the rack will go across by the bulkhead. He needs a rack from a car that has it mounted in front of the front axle line. However the rack input shaft will be close to the idler arm pivot point meaning the rack will have to be offset towards the...

Or you could fit a PAS steering box, The pump may be easy or involved depending on whether it's 4 cylinder or V8. Electric pump is also possible. Indeed, electric assisted steering column is another avenue. How are the Danish authorities on modifications to vehicles in regard to type approval?

I would suggest you need a bigger alternator to cover that additional 40A load.
