My Vitesse mk2 ranges from 22 to 29mpg though a 1500 mile Irish Trip over 2 weeks it averaged 29.5 mpg Paul

If the Huco trial failed to solve the carb issue there’s a strong second hand value which should realise £30 plus Paul

You would need one of these inertia switches https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/First-Inertia-Switch-Vehicle-Crash-Sensor-Ignition-Electric-Fuel-Pump-P4A2-/393117141535? Paul

I’ve fitted a Huco which is suction pump and fitted in the engine bay in my Vitesse The psi is 2.2 and serves 2 Strombergs . More details if you need them here’s the spec , ignore the price as they available cheaper https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-14-V-2-2-PSI-0-15-bar-Low-Pressure-Fuel-Pump-HUCO-133010-Kit-Car-/254645067130?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAjwx6WDBhBQEiwA_dP8rYUdi9jvfIaLiYEixX3Vvd2GkC-mtN8p0ZPcg5D9U5gCLBqkg7nlIxoCjHkQAvD_BwE Paul

Use some gravel and agitate Paul

I used the Frosts kit which adds a resin skin to the tank filling any perforations . These kits are like marmite . In my case following the instructions to the letter the kit has worked . I even had enough to complete a refurb spare tank I had acquired Paul

I bought 2 of their cheapie jacks £24 each . 1 failed after 13 months and the repair kit would have been more than the original cost . The second one is working but not as efficient as the Aldi equivalents which have 3 year warranty Paul

The pit has a 4 ins wide recessed ledge . Filled in with 2ins planks , works well Paul

Would a pair of these ramps be of any use The long ramp is detachable and the first level is 12 ins extending to 17 ins . Very robust and very heavy . I’m localism to you . pm me if of interest Paul

Here’s a close up , made by Daimler and I think a V8 Paul

Yes I have another Gun for cellulose 1.3 tip. Paul

Just seen a Ferret in our road It’s a local vehicle and the owner said he doesn’t have any issues parking at Tesco’s Paul

My rule is 15c minimum for Primers, and 17c minimum for top coats Paul

I use Hydrate 80 and Deox Gel . Both products are good Paul

With the weather nicely warming up it was time to spray the Vitesse door with 2 coats of 2k Epoxy primer surfacer using my new gun which for a cheapie I was well impressed with the result . Purchased from Spray Guns Direct with 1.8 tip and a 2.0 . I used the 1.8 for this job. https://www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/a-n-i-f1-ns-budget-gravity-spraygun.html#sthash.L5gbjzk6.dpbs Spraying is completely new to me as well as body filling and it’s been a time consuming baptism of fire , this being the first time I’m satisfied with the result The door needs to cure overnight and ready for next sanding session tomorrow I can recommend the gun and the HB Body 989 Epoxy system Paul

One thing I have learnt is to spray the room with a generous dose of fly spray . Vacate and return 15 mins later . Less chance of a foreign body landing on new paint Paul

Thanks Colin . I’ll be able to do a dry run to check out before cellulose spraying Paul

Hi Colin , if I fit the quarter light then spray I will have to fit the window ? Here’s a pic of glass removal and the position of quarter light . I like the idea of prefitting and sorting the gaps before spraying . Paul

Hi , with the warmer weather I can start to continuing respraying a spare passenger door . The door has been completely stripped as window guides are being replaced. What’s the best approach for applying the top coat which is cellulose in my case . Do I add the quarterlight before cellulose spraying . Do I add winding gear , window before cellulose spraying . Window weather rubbers going on after painting . Any advice to a newbie welcome Paul

Here’s a pic of the adjustment nut on the front section of the quarterlight . There’s about 20mm adjustment though whether the nut will slide is debatable due to rust . This nut does move now but too some persuasion to start . The sticking point is the curve in the channel Paul

Welcome to the forum , we’re a friendly bunch and a lot of knowledge is out there just for the asking. Check out this link https://www.tssc.org.uk/tssc/cars_final.asp?model_ID=19 Apart from GT6 info there is a buyers guide I own a Vitesse mk2 and there will be some GT6 owners ready to chat

Bit late to the party on this one This is what my Vitesse looks like . The corner of the bracket is just proud of the Rigger like PeterH Paul

Out of interest how much is the CV conversion nowadays . Paul

A long shot is it for a MGB GT? My son has one lost in the post Paul

I’ve fitted a Huco replacing the mechanical pump . If you choose this route more than happy to forward details on my Installation for my Vitesse Paul
