    Removing the gearbox in my Mk2 Vitesse . The drain plug had been tightened up by a gorilla . Eventually removed using 12mm long socket hammered on and an 18in bar . On investigation the plug had flats on the thread and a 5/8AF spanner fitted 😱 What’s the spec of the drain plug I need to replace with ? Paul

    I used Autosol then sprayed with Laquer from Toolstation https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=Laquer spray Paul

    I used an old jet with a small hammer to remove and set the new jets . The jet is tight as you would expect but you soon get to know how much hammer pressure is required Paul

    I found an electric carving knife was good for cutting foam Paul

    Make sure both jets are set the same or balancing will be a issue , I think you have a typo should be 10 thou ? Paul

    I would give the other plugs a good test and a prod, don’t forget the one that’s only accessible by removing the gearbox cover . How do I know that , yes got the T Shirt 😱 Paul

    Just moved onto Mintex 1144 on my Vitesse . What a difference they make . The old pads were cheapies and now consigned to the bin . The Mintex are comparatively expensive but worth every penny Paul

    Im a big fan of POR15 But wouldn’t risk it on a chassis . For a chassis I use Bilthamber Electrox which is high zinc, then a top coating of your choice Paul

    I used this Felt Support from Screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/p/felt-support-tray-1-5m-5-pack/36622 From memory it was made in 2 sections . The break being the Steering wheel . The felt support is plastic which can be cut n trimmed with strong scissors or a jig saw . The trays have a preformed bend which I screwed to the bulkhead . The trays are flexible and was able to bend them to stay under the dash without permanent fixing . I used the old mill board as a template . There are 5 support trays to a pack . My car is a Vitesse mk2 Paul

    My highly polished refurbished CDSE’s came with jet height variance of 15 tho and a bent jet Paul
  22. Paul H
    With CDSE’s you will need to check the jet heights are set correctly and are not bent . Paul
