Looks mil spec. An electronic 12v dizzy will be a simple drop in replacement.

Ethanol in petrol. Introduces water. Buy Esso supreme only. E5 Max, usually zero. Plus tank isn't full, keep driving and using both tanks.

Light bulb moment?

Run the fan straight from a 12v supply. Then use the resistor. Should be half speed...

Cosmetic only, use 3M duck tape.

Doubt it. They don't count the leaves. As long as they know you've fitted parabolics they don't care. Afterall parabolic spring come in different specifications, three leaf springs are made from the same individual components as 4 leaf springs, bar the fourth leaf.

Are the dumb irons the extended 1 ton type? If not, remove. My 109 front end doesn't move much on the suspension. That's with parabolics.

I've done this. No problem. Points regarding rivets, leaf keepers, U bolts above all relevant.

Series three has the tank in the rear.

Swb half shafts are prone to failure. And work harden.

And become expert at replacing half shafts.

It would help if you shared a little bit more detail. Which engine do you have?

Yes, it's the resistor that provides you with "slow" or half speed fan.

Okay?

If that's not intelligible then I can draw something. Probably.

Richards? Or on a scrap chassis? Not much to them, I'll get dimensions if you are fabricating one up.

Range masters are great. Radial.

I took a new spur from the battery, new fuse and relay box, ignoring the ignition system completely. Works, tidy.

Start with washing up and hot water.
