Disturbing the fuel lines is most likely you have rubber sliver syndrome there will be particles of rubber sliced off when inserting metal pipes these flat about and block the back of the float needle valves can make spasmodic power outages also check ht terminal in the coil head and the brush in the dizzy cap is in contact with the rotor what dia is the hole in the replacement fitting ?

Counter shaft tooth fatigue , not uncommon,, seen the price of replacements Oooh! buy a slave gox for spares is best route On J types I would remove the solenoid and its inner spool valve piston clean and fit new 0 rings give the filter a clean and it is normally a bullet proof unit. if the 3rd gearwheel teeth are un marked its a chance to re use, with the load of the tooth failure on the teeth I would replace It there may be a tooth fracture developing and you cant see it ..

Yes and rich is going to wash the bores , so all front 3would be similar oil on just one could just be down to poor plug performance (not firing well) or rings pete

I would have done a equal lift and protractor on the cam to check the marks are correct for exact lobe tdc out all day sunday on an area outing so more thought later on pete

Wont take it apart tonight as out in car all tomorrow if it decides to disintegrate I need to fathom fitting a more modern upgrade so maybe monday now. pete

sent Louis some pics of my 2000 lense with as many vernier measures as possible eg.

its very very similar to my 2000 we could use that as a model , 718574 is also NA do you need just the clear lense ??? I will give the dimensions of my lense see where that leads us ,,,camera....action ....well first a coffee Pete

you may have one but bernie's sale has new auto dim hood for £30

Dave they are more a splash shield than a oil seal anything similar would work, but its not overly important so maybe stick with whats left. pete

I think if the caps seal is vented and has small hole in the vent tube is capped . otherwise its a tube down through a hole in the boot floor can be bundy or nylon tube its an idea to put a coil in the pipe route

The early boxes had alloy clutch hsg and bolt on front cover not the 3ton cast one of later years with press in front cover

I dont remember why we did it , I would normally suggest complete box off just cant dream up what prompted the removal, unless chasing a vibration I decided to check the timing marks aligned ok on the planets ( need to be correct on a d type) Pete

Its was popular bullet proof 5spd ford sierra gearbox , used to upgrade the 3 rails. but often needs serious shortening of the remote if you want the stick in front of the handbrake a number of companies do or did a conversion kit Pete

yes Nick it sounds about the right story, many are retro fitted and you have to cut the prop tunnel across the whole model range the commission plate number will generally have an O at the end if factory fitted Pete

the slave diam changed with clutch diameter , rimmers list the changes certainly early cars had a different slave set up with return spring and free play at the push rod , together with on anchor cable to reduce engine movement later the slave was static and just found its own position, with no need for adjustment all from a foggy memory ,, of 50 years ago with a very rusty 59 948 . Pete

there's something about the name ...theres always a way 718574 shows as gt6 and 2000 interior but no pictures ... these are round lamps whats the 625616 like if its 2000 then theres one on my car to copy

box has to come out inside the car if OD has been retro fitted they should cut the prop tunnel back around 6" and make a cover plate form sheet or from the removed section. its std operation to do this if you convert to adding a OD to a non OD car engine out is a bit extreme , pete

Aidan we would need a unit to assess if it can be copied do you have a rough one ??

i can see that there.s no parts required ,, its fine we know theres a big P in PARTS but we really need a few ideas to kick around and not take the P in parts if you get my drift pete

believe he starts a new job this week or next Pete

condition the disc ... high gear max power and controlled slip till it smells a little Pete

the bearing circlip and the on on 3rd often give up, but the excess end float normally gets the stick to shift when on /off load Pete

ive done it with a D type on the Vit6 , jack up as high as possible and it will come off the back ok keeping the inside hubs aligned to put it back is a right faf even with then aligned with a dummy shaft took a few goes. tip when gearbox and OD are ready for refit, prise open the piston plates with two screwdrivers this releases the cone and allows the two hubs to spin freely and self align, when it drops keep fingers out the way and remove the screwdrivers never forget to fit the pump cam woodruff key (Ive come across a few of those tee shirts ) and turn the cam to its lowest point to allow the pump roller to ride up its ramp.
