Yes its obligatory triumphs make you smile Pete

Thats normally a straight 20 grade and shouls be ok It gets lifted over the top of the shaft tube when the pistion drops quickly, and leaves through the two holes in the base of the air piston and gets burnt when mixed with the fueling. Well it keeps it all well oiled ha ! So all ok , someone hasnt removed the piston damper spring have they ? Looks like you need to cork the TCs and richen the base mixture more Pete

The withdrawl lever sits loosely on a spherical post so it can be quite a loose rattly feeling if you give it a waggle Lost travel , start with a re bleed, make sure bleed nipple is in the top port pipe in lower port. Make sure the pedal is fully returning and not part seized on its pivot pin. Under the baulkhead boots have a look at worn clevis pin holes can loose a lot of pedal action. If the rattle is inside the clutch hsg, then its gearbox off and check the clutch itself and the throw out bearing Pete

Good work Kevin Thankyou Pete

And hope you use engine oil in the dashpots A thin oil wont give you richness for any acceleration and you get a weak mixture over the range and flat spots Pete

And to get the door card off to release the inner handled push the escutcheon intowards the door and release the pin holding the handle on its spindle dont let it drop in the grass Can we ask whybit needs removal.....could it need the plastic part we have in the 3d print posting We have one onntest right now... its working well Pete

its another case of upgrade is sometimes downwards to get the idle mixture right you must get the Temp comps shut down and 2 new o ring seals on their casing if they suck bypassed air past the throttle plates you cant get the idle mix it right. i should know your car by now but ''''''''..........£££%%% senior moments prevale just to check what needles you should have ...pete

I would be dubious about 3 electrode plugs with our simple Ht unless you have done some changes Whats the code on the plugs ???? Are the needles std spec or where they changed to suit the pancakes???? Are temperature compensators fitted on the carbs ???? what breather sytem have you got ????? Pete

not found the site but there were a company making look alike neoprene type rotoflex couplings for marine drives , but so far ive not been able to revisit ie they look identical , not the over complicated ive managed to find theres some good advice on the Imp and lotus forums as they use the same doughnuts Pete

with the telescope up front theres less room to align the grease gun otherwise it doesnt matter which way...anything is better than having a strap drive . i agree on NOS its not always a way forward, when life is expired in a box on a shelf. but often better when india rubber is used with no life, no adhesion, but unfortunately ....... available pete

this is the rimmer poly upgrade 209423UR Pete

i did this on my 1600 and used the 7/8" slave with no problems for years 2ltr is 1" so that would give a lighter pedal Pete

These drop links have been the source of many debates The workshop manual shows them slot down the parts list showsnthem slot up It makes sense the slot is up and the bonnet pivots on the hole at the bottom you cant have a pivot on a slotted hole Some make longer links to aid height adjustment, The tie rod goes to the lower pivot and pulls the links back and forth as you adjust the turnbuckle nuts. The slots are clamped solid in the chassis bracket , Mine had no crussh tubes in the pivot boss , so had to be loose enough to allow it's pivot not feasable on a slot as this cannot maintain its heght setting. Sorry no pictures Pete

The list is building, get your names in Pete

The td fitchetts website is maintained by tssc hq, tdf do not supply all their stock online, and are hopless at any update data ie they are very selective about whats showing and you have to call to check whats really stocked They are still very brown coat and card index with enormous stock of orig parts Ive spent many an hour in the past loading their selectioms onto the web it tends to be all the slow moving stuff. Anything any good is sold over the counter Pete

We had an area vitesse used by a Co ďoing cars for one of these shows The 3 week booking took 6 months to get the car back somewhat wrecked Hood ripped , door handles snapped off, handbrake cable torn off by rat chet staps on the trailer and to fix it bolted the loose end to the cars floor My advice unless you are driving it yoirself ...avoid like the plague on the long lost forum club hq and myself took ages to get the car sorted with Little or no recompence from the hirers

thats good,, surprising how many upgrades are really downers Pete

so is the manifold, i would get it hot and a couple of days max , you dont want to find the cars dissolved into a heap in the garage . if making it hot speeds things up i must put some in my tea !!! Pete

just to add a point i thought it was me but if you go to the log on screen it now asks for your 'displayed name' not the the sign in you used to set up the last forum log in to become a forum member so the security has changed for some reason if i log on as before it says youre wrong many may well find they are blocked because of this so log on now, is your displayed username and Ive 'book marked' logged in with fluid tab and it fires up on that page format every time well. now i know who i am. Pete

Im happy with Kevins fix much more useable, i cant help but think hic ups like this change will cause users and members to drift every time theres been a crash or malfuction numbers drop/swap to elswhere its great PR ....Not !!!! someone somewhere knew this was planned but hey ho communicate with the forum management or club members is the usual missed a trick I felt things had improved ....obviously a misguided feeling. maybe nobody knew ??? someone has the clues to this poorly effected change but thanks to Kevin the only moderator ( out of 6 )with any real input we have moved on a long way since this started time he had a brownie point or two Pete

strong mix of cheapo washing soda, im sure Aidan did a test on various this and soda won youll like it its very cheap ..........from tesco etc. kevins fis has saved the day Pete

is that what you get when looking in the pond !!! or https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=retina+upside+down+reversed&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB718GB718&oq=upsidw+down+revresed&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.8528j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

is there any more fine tuning, if you read a topic in the recent list you have to return to the browse to repopulate the recent list and is there a way to show last posters name so we have a lead to know reply has added currently just shows a date and time , or is that something we need to set up of our own settings ??? i can see there's a 'go to topic listing' tab but its right at the end of scroll down , not very visilble thanks Pete
