In a very senior moment I think I’ve added 20/50 into an empty tin of EP90 . Is there a way of telling the 2 apart Paul

I reused mine the Canleys replacements didn’t fit . Hopefully the correct way round this time plus removed the packed grease in the hub centre which I had carefully filled . I now know not to do this. In my defence the WSM shoes the felt side facing the bearing . Paul

Which way round does the felt washer go on the stub axle on my Vitesse ie Felt towards the bearing or felt towards the vertical link ? Thanks in advance Paul

Hi Clive . You are correct 🤗 just checked and my setup is with terminals to the bulkhead Paul

Terminals the wrong way round ?? Paul

Check out Tanya as a supplier . Purchased many batteries from this company, Good prices and service Paul

Never used a blow lamp on spark plugs . What’s the best way ? Paul

As far as I know DD doesn’t supply Delco Paul

I fitted a red rotor because of their implied quality compared with the supplied black rotor arm . Comparing the 2 there is a big difference in height . The black rotor easily clears the electronics and doesn’t have any additional metal tensioners Another issue with the red rotor is the brass plate is loose 😱😱 Red doesn’t mean quality any more . Check out the the video , I will revert to the black rotor using the red rotor as a spare after tightening up the brass rivet and shaving some plastic on the underside IMG_2456.MOV One ? Does the Delco 6 support switching to points ? Paul

Hi recently noticed my Vitesse mk 2 was missing a beat every now and again . I think I’ve traced the problem and looking for suitable remedies . I have an Accuspark Delco 6 distributor with built in electronics . It’s been on for a couple of years without issue until now . From the pics the Rotor arm is catching on the electronics . I think over the time the rotor arm has settled so it’s starting to catch . My plan is to trim the rotor arm on the underside so it’s doesn’t catch . Will this upset the balance ? Paul

A window clip holder , used an old thin bladed carving knife . I heated the tip to cherry red , reformed the tip to fit the window clip then hardened by quenching with water . Paul

Saw this from Car Builder Solutions , hose takeoff bleed kit https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/hose-take-off-bleed-kit?goal=0_7086c93f3b-952c7e1922-95355949&mc_cid=952c7e1922&mc_eid=efca095db4 Might be a solution for engines with a history of air locks Paul

I’ve had a Cetek for close to 12 years now . Originally purchased to maintain 2 x 110 amp batteries on our caravan . The Cetek rating was for charging 225 amps . Faultless and now with the caravan gone enjoying retirement maintaining a Vitesse battery Paul

I successfully blew the unit due to incorrect wiring , explained what id done to Accuspark and they supplied another unit at a discounted price . The only way I found I had blown the unit was to go back to points Paul
