Good morning fellow addicts. Tonk, 2.25 petrol engine 1968 vintage, is having a complete overhaul of the top end and I have read in many places that if I'm doing the cylinder head gaskets, valves, springs etc etc I should also replace the water pump and thermostat. Thermostat is not a problem...

Good afternoon all, final short strokes on getting Tonk back on the road. In a moment of madness I tore out the wiring, then bought a new one, from Autosparks. In that order, no photos or anything as the old one was so bogged, and didn't work most of the time so it would have been pointless...

Hi All, always wanted and now I've got one, a 50 yr old Tonka (Series 2a 88 in with 88k on clock) to be known henceforth as Tonk. We got nearly halfway home, about 96 miles, but he decided that 200 miles in one hit after 700 miles in the last 3 years was too much to ask. Blew a hole in the...
