No pipes are fixed or bent at all at that point, only to the calliper. It was a case of... what would happen if we screwed that on there....? Someone must have done it.

Hi folks, Just a quick question. Has anyone fitted their connecters as in this photo? Just thoughts and comments on it. Cheers. Peter

Oh! you mean that black gritty stuff that cuts my fingers when I pick it up?

It probably has only been running on and off for about 2 hours max in the last 5 years. before that it was laying untouched for about 4 years. My eldest sons abandoned project.

Something to watch for 30 seconds.

I sent it off to this place and got it back in a week. £140 including the collection and Royal Mail insurance/postage I paid. Being it is off the road we jacked the back wheels up and went through the gears and speedo worked.

Well Ive taken it out with the trip cable still attached

I suppose costs vary depending on the amount of work needs doing. http://www.jdo1.com is one I have found. It says fixed price repairs and 48 hour service.

Thanks for that.

Hi all, Has anyone any recommendations for a speedo repair business? smith/jaeger out of a series 3. Havent opened it yet just asking in advance in case I need to send it off. Still under rebuild at the moment. cheers Peter.

Hi Folks, Here i am happily tapping away on my wife's lappy. My laptop went tits up last week and I have lost almost everything. All my bookmarks and a few photos and some other odds and ends. Fortunately I backed up most of my profile on this laptop so all is not lost. I thought I had backed...

Got any piccies?

1983 2.25 petrol swb all 10x1 mm except for rear cylinders. Fronts are discs and connectors need to be changed to metric too.

I have the parts book and pdf's, Nothing tells me why both front and rear T joints are identical but apart from length both hoses have a different fitting at one end. Question is why? I have found the Smithies page, plenty to read there cheers Edit. I wonder if originally it had an olive...

Thinking about it, the front hose is shorter than the rear hose, Only by a small amount, I wonder if that would be too short.

The T is countersunk same part number as the front T. According to the book NRC 4251

Thanks for the input. That seems a bit of a bodge to me. What was the original setup and what have others done in this situation? Has anyone used a front flexi pipe in place of the rear one?

I am assuming that would be a copper crush washer? On further examination the washer has to go down into the T piece as the shoulder of the flexi hose does not screw completely down

Thanks for the replies. I am ok with everything except that the flat end on the hose had me thinking.
