    Fuel pump issues Series 3

    I have one of those inline filters and it never fills.You could try disconnecting the pipe to the carb and seeing if there is a good flow into a container whilst engine is turned over. Are you sure it's fuel that is the problem?

    Which Electronic ignition?

    I changed to electronic (Simon bbc) due to problems sourcing decent condensers. Starting much better now due to consistent spark. Still carry the old distrutor incase it fails, but to be honest you would just as likely have a problem with condenser so from a reliability point of view there is no...

    Trouble fitting brake shoes after fitting new wheel cylinders.

    New Delph cylinders arrived this afternoon, now fitted no problems just need to bleed and adjust shoes back up. To contact Bearmach they have an online shop with contact details and give a 3 year warranty. I thought that if this was as I suspected a new problem with the manufacturer of the...

    Trouble fitting brake shoes after fitting new wheel cylinders.

    Contacted Bearmach today, said they wasn't aware of a problem but apologized and are putting some Delph replacements in the post and looking into the problem with their supplier. Really impressed as I never purchased directly from them, but hoped they might be able to sort it out quicker than...

    Trouble fitting brake shoes after fitting new wheel cylinders.

    Shoes definitely fit into slot difficult to show fully in the picture. Taking some metal of the shoes is an option that I hadn't thought of. Not really confident that removing the steel inserts is safe in the long term.

    Trouble fitting brake shoes after fitting new wheel cylinders.

    Rebuilding front axle new swivels fitted and thought it would be a good idea to replace all the wheel cylinders as they looked pretty ropey and some were seized. Drums are twin leading shoe with 11 inch drums. The problem I have is that drums won't go back on. On closer inspection the distance...

    New swivels advice needed.

    Happy to say swivels seem to be ok, as Blackburn said seal doesn't pass over ridge.

    New swivels advice needed.

    Purchased new swivels (britpart kit) and they have arrived with a small ridge on the chrome face. It's feels about 25 thou and looks like it's outside the swept edge of seal. Just wondered is this normal and ok to fit as the ones I'm taking off are smooth across the entire chrome face.

    What make of FWH and where to buy spares

    I have to say that from what I have read that seem to be abit like marmite. Will look to see what is the cheapest way forward, if I can find some way of replacing the bolts cheaply they will stay if not it will go back as original.

    What make of FWH and where to buy spares

    Thanks for info, your right about nothing to replace that wears. Not sure that I can justify paying for a overhaul kit to replace the five small bolts, may have to go back to the original fixed drive.

    What make of FWH and where to buy spares

    Can anyone tell me the make of these FWH and where to buy spares, as four of the tapered bolts are missing and i had to use an easy out on another. I'm about to rebuild my front axle replacing chrome ball etc. Will probably need to ask for more help later.

    Refurbing steering wheel

    I seem to remember from a really good thread someone refurbing steering wheel finish by applying heat. Thread was really impressive because the guy doing it had little in the way of money but more than made up for it by his abilities to construct and refurbish with what was around him. I seem...
