    Series 3 Fan belts snapping

    Appreciate the feedback, but the 10mm is the standard belt for the 2.25, OEM number returns the same size belt from different suppliers.

    Series 3 Fan belts snapping

    Everything turning okay, new alternator and water pump, no excess play in any bearings. Dayco 10A1050C belt, so 10mm width. I think it's been contacting the bottom of the groove only due to the build up of rubber.

    Series 3 Fan belts snapping

    Afternoon all, I had some issues with the fan belt snapping on a drive yesterday, I carry a spare but about 20 miles afterwards that snapped too. Correctly tensioned and a new belt, so concluded it must have been the pulleys that caused it. Whipped them off today and there's a build up of...

    Anti seize/copper grease and nylocs

    On moving parts, correct. On non-moving parts like nuts and bolts, absolutely no problem. Providing it's not on particularly load bearing fasteners such as wheel nuts. I'm sure no one here wants to open that one...

    Potential new Series 2a owner with questions on powerplant and drivetrain

    Would absolutely suggest just making a loom from scratch, adding in whatever you need. Likely to work out cheaper, too.

    Have you considered lowering leafs and chassis mounted neons?

    Shielder bulkheads

    I had one from them a couple of years ago, no issues with delivery or customer service but bulkhead itself wasn't as good as I expected. Holes in the wrong place, not tapped etc. Only very slightly out but enough to ruin your day.

    Colour Change

    Just shows how easy it is for chassis rot to go unnoticed.

    SWB 1983 series 3 Tub resting position.

    Yes it should be resting on the mounts corresponding to the rubber patches on the underside of the tub. A slight gap is unlikely to be a big deal as the tub, being mostly aluminium, would flex and close the gap with any sort of weight in the back. When rebuilding mine onto a new chassis these...

    My new Galv Chassis' AND Power Steering

    Not sure I like the idea of brake pipe being secured to the axle by a jubilee clip, unless it's an illusion. It won't take long to chafe through if that's metal on metal.

    Series 3 Lift pump fittings/banjo

    Thanks Phill, I'm not sure unfortunately but doubt it as I think the banjo on these will be imperial. I'll ask him to send me the measurements later on to confirm.

    Series 3 Lift pump fittings/banjo

    Good morning all, Does anyone know where one of these twin spur fittings can be purchased individually rather than the whole fuel line? A friend on mine is in a pickle after managing to snap one of the outlets off the fitting. Beer tokens available if someone has a spare they'd be willing to...

    If it's a bare chassis, couple the box and engine up before lifting onto the chassis.

    Bobsticle not at at fault here, there was a spam bot posting which bumped the thread beforehand.

    S3 Rear brake grabs when reversing

    Double check freeplay at the master cylinder. I had a similar problem on my recent rebuild where the OSF would bind, regardless of what I did behind the wheel, new slave, etc. Turned out the new master cylinder (which had the correct freeplay on fitting) had absolutely none, so was always...
