Thanks for the encouragement. Well I made it to Oxford and back with nothing worse than a small oil leak on the front free wheeling hub. I must have remembered to do up all the bolts... not like me at all. It did remarkably well on petrol too...those 50 mph limits on the M1 aren't all bad...

Don't forget the oil feed pipe at the rear! Other than that an easy job - a good quality composite gasket is worth buying too.

Still not exactly concourse condition but its up and running and will hopefully get me down to Oxford tomorrow. I even removed the "one life" stickers from the back, the side ones are stuck on a bit better

Aye, it's a keeper - is a bit inconvenient now we have a nipper but I still get plenty of use out of it. The bulkhead is the next thing - there's a lot of welding needs doing and filler that needs removing but nothing that can't wait. I have a pair of bulkheads ready to take down to the...

The brakes aren't bad as such just not as good as they could be...they seem to be coming back in so they might just need bedding in. I don't want to think how much I spent - £1500 for chassis, £200 on fasteners and other bits, £100 on paint, £100 on wiring loom and connectors, £ X,000 on loss of...

I'm surprised he didn't have a fag in his moth! Have you ever tried using the long neck filler on a petrol with a jerry can - almost impossible to do without getting everything **** wet through in petrol!

The steeringbox is at the end of the steering column - the other thing on the front of the chassis is the steering relay. Both are fairly easy to rebuild but are a pain in the arse to get out. The steering relay contains a big spring which needs taming with clamps (google steering relay...

What plugs and leads have you got? some leads have resistance built in and some plugs have them built in too...both together can be troublesome. Also worth checking the points gap. Does it change with the throttle - it may be over or under fueling at WOT due to a blocked main jet or air jet.

My mate gave me his ezibleed as he'd lost confidence in it. The first time I tried it I managed to drench everything in brake fluid due to the **** seal in the lid. I removed that and made my own and nipped it up with plumber's grips. I also made sure that the tyre I used to pressurise it only...

It passed! Embarrassingly both the rear indicators didn't work when I got there but was given 10 minutes to fettle them...they worked this morning! Does anyone know what the kgf numbers for 10" brakes should be mine came out around 200 on the rears and 250 on the front which seemed a bit low I...

I don't think it will be the solenoid. It sounds like it is set up way too rich. This can be an over fuel, a blockage somewhere, a dirty air filter or the choke stuck on. I glanced at mine in the test today and I think it was 148ppm HC and 1.5% CO and its set just to the rich side on idle (14.1...

Is the pedal return spring stretched or missing? If so you need to get one and may find that you need to pull the pedal back fully when pumping...

Other option is to run them along the chassis or through the floor braces. Saves buggering up the interior when they go wrong/you change your mind.

Forgot my camera again but getting closer...MOT this aft. No real dramas just a lot of arsing around getting all the lights to work properly - I spent a fair amount of time rewiring the rad panel with multi-way connector blocks. That all worked fine, however on a final check this morning one...

The top right box on the top of each post is escaping from its surrounding banner and covering the text of posts in the Series section D Edit: Scratch that - its working again now..

I'd buy a decent quality pump. They take a bit of a beating - especially if you overtighten the fan belt!

Good point. Check breathers are working in the fuel cap. I checked mine yesterday as it stank of petrol and the ball bearing had got stuck open...yours might be stuck shut?

The ones I got from Rocky Mountain for my LWB aren't. The ones from GB Springs for my SWB were...

Check all the diesel pipe unions and filter bleeds. Sounds like you might be pulling air in somewhere.

Looking good but... Is there a mapping between the old post urls and the new - its a pain in the arse that the old google links are all broken it would be good if you could have a look see if you could make your 404 page redirect to the new post urls D
