While your at it why not go manual, for a 4pot a much better option.

Have to disagree, the one I had was 100% as good as the original

Why rebuild it, plenty new ones on ebay cheap. DAVID BROWN TRACTOR FUEL LIFT PUMP 990,995,996,1200,1210,1212,1410,1412,1290 NEW | eBay Ignore the fact it says for David Brown Tractor, its the same pump. they just fitted it to lots of engines.

when you had the car , did you put any diesel or lubricant down the bores, soaked it for a while or did you just start it up dry and as is, because if you did it dry as is, you have probably buggered up the rings and maybe the bores too.

Hello all I want to find out how far can you skim a P6 2200TC head. Mine has a corrosion pit right on the bore lip position and it a bit deeper than i think it can be skimmed. Advice welcome.

hi Sdibbers, Only a little bit, just needed to push out the sides a bit, so the box had an inch +/- a bit clearance

One I made earlier.......

Looks like something from a tractor !!

Seen this on FB and its still AWEFUL !!

Effing hideous !!!!

Heat it up with a hot air gun, clamp it, let it cool off and that should fix the warp.

The weak spot of wire wheels are the splines, if thay are worn or have gotten rusty, then bye bye mr wheel !!

You'd have to have a really long extension lead ! ;)

Yes steering full lock stop.

Worn valve guides are probably the cause of your failure. The valve will not seat correctly and then will either burn out or wear a ridge on the edge.

I think a lot of problems with this is down to either poor maintenance or bad carb settings.

Well as we all know, age does make your knob rattily, glad to know something can be down about it !

Sounds like the bush on the end of the gear stick has broken off and there is metal to metal contact
