Something to do with the two strange triangular windows in both doors?.😁 A Bit like one car I had Air-Con AND a sliding/tilting steel sunroof!. what`s that all about?. Pete

There is on here somewhere a couple posts about fitting alternative fans in the system. Nissan Micra, and Smart Car?. The problem with all heating systems is the fact that once you get it working as good as. The next move is increasing the Matrix CSA which is what is required to improve heat transfer to the air passing over the matrix. Cleaning the Air side, is as important as the water side.

Useless Information; The Hamburg Poitzi. had some in the 60`s/ 70`s. Funniest thing you saw was one going backward, "full ahead" against the Elbe current/tide. We used to stand on the ship deck and watch them🤣. As I understand about the only thing "Triumph" was the engine?. Pete

Google:- Vehicle radiator recoring Brings up 12.4 Million hits, But seriously a whole bunch of firms out there. Pete

A relative of a friend of mine had a similar issue with a SAAB. after a long battle it transpired the dealer he purchased it from, had bought it from a salvage operation, who had recovered the vehicles that where submerged when a Swedish Car carrier ran aground and took water onto the lower car decks. All the cars where supposed to have been scrapped!. Pete

Does sound a bit like something from a 60`s Danish (Ahem) "naughty" film.? One Ship steward had a nice line in 8mm Scandinavian film stock. His other "venture" was Lunch time picture shows in the Crew Mess for the Dockers at 2/- a head. One might say very entrepreneurial?. Pete

I once did that. In a Hatchback!. What I thought was a shallow section of wet Devon road, Wasn't. As I found out when the door seals on a 6 month old Mk3 Escort failed to keep the water out!. The option was to continue. and once back on the "beach", lift the wet carpets and knock out the "grumits" to drain the interior. Result?. Hire car for 4days, whilst the Local Ford agents dried it out, and one very unhappy fleet manager!. Pete

It is the nature of wiring diagrams that they tend to show (say) the arrow to earth without necessarily indicating where said earthing points are!. But if it`s of any use. the Haynes GT6 Mk 3. Wiring diagram:-

Not a Lot!.🤣. But Jeff, Started it!.😁 Pete

Pretty much. The first C-B`s to hit the UK, illegal imports form the USA, caused a couple of near miss accidents, as the frequency used was the same as that used by Radio control models (27mghz). https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=cw+mccall+convoy Spawned the Film with Kris Kristofferson. Ali McGraw was quite tasty. Pete

In effect? Yes. If it`s like my venerable Britool torque wrench, then yes after the "click" the tool is then just a bar! IF however you back it off and tighten then it will click again on

The other mistake some people make is not unloading the torque spanner after use. Ours used to be re-calibrated every few weeks too. If you have 2 torque wrenches it`s worth an occasional check on the same fastener. Crude but it works as a guide. My "big" one goes to 360 lb/ft. For truck work. Pete

So now of course I am now going to have to take the wheel off the 13/60 to satisfy my curiosity, and check the thread, I suspect it will be metric, But the wheel is a good fit? and the splines are correct, So "easysteer" must have have done their homework?. Pete

It`s a nice colour👍, looks almost metallic?. (love those wheels!) Pete

A lot of Modern, and not so modern, Motorcycles with drilled disc`s?. My 1984 "Beemer" for one. One cannot see manufacturers spending extra time and money on machining with no benefit?. The Bean Counters, would veto it!. Pete

That was the object of buying just one can from Club shop👍. Glad I did, `cos SWMBO gave it the 👎. I`ve seen a nice blue on a 2000/2500 Estate on here recently, but don`t know what that colour is?. As I`ve already made some mod`s to the car, PAS and MX5 Seats for starters, so originality is not my primary concern. Just getting a nice usable classic. Pete

On the "firewall". I am tempted to use some 1" (25mm) Kingspan I have left over from a build. Foil coated both sides and with a 1 hour fire rating!. Not very flexible though, so would have to be cut and fitted in several pieces. I don`t suppose anyone has tried expanding closed cell spray foam?. Pete

The mystery deepens, that is allegedly Valencia?. But the Colour I have (via Club Shop) has a darker, and (in my view) slightly "green" tint. That`s the one I`m looking at?. Pete

Available in Australia and the USA (so far), then?. Merlin tools (Loughbrough) May have them? according to this add?. https://gbr.grandado.com/products/9-16-28-right-hand-thread-die?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp8v_pbPd8wIVh-_tCh343AFOEAQYAiABEgJEUPD_BwE&variant=UHJvZHVjdFZhcmlhbnQ6NTc5MDIyMzU Pete.

Looking for Courier 428, (subject of another post on Paint) And came across Courier #100. (Oct 1988) Rimmers Prices are up a little ? Recon Rack is now about £85. That`s inflation for you!. Pete

Hi The 13/60. is a multitude of colours almost "Josephs coat" in fact, although it was originally white. Thinking about the final colour, and the fact that the interior is Trimmed Black. I am being persuaded towards one of the Blue`s. This being the case I obtained a rattle can of Valencia Blue. However for my taste, the finished result will be darker than I want and with a more green finish. February 2018 Courier (428). had a 13/60 on the front cover. In a Blue which I think will be somewhere near what I want. Question, Does anyone know definitively what this colour is?. It`s definitely Not Valencia. More toward the Mid blue seen on a few 2000`s. Maybe Wedgwood?. Pete

At the risk of repeating myself. I have measured the Pitch against my Thread Gauges. I Miked up the o/d of the threads. Result 9/16 o/d and 28TPI. That is on the Column removed from my 13/60. (it now has a PAS unit). I am of the opinion that the thread form will be 60deg, implying UN??. I have searched online, and can only find reference to this size on Australian E-Bay. Where it is described as UNFS, the S representing special. In 60 years I have never actually come across the Thread combination before. But the physical evidence is that it Exists!. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152292227571 BTW, haven't seen reference to "shadowgraphs" For many a Year. Although I did make animal shadows with my hands on the wall of the kids and later grand-kids room to entertain them. Pete

IF your so close as to be blinded. Your too close!. That was the original idea of High level brake-lights. To reinforce the fact that you where braking. When daylight running lights first appeared ,Volvo`s I think where first, and possibly SAAB, People use to flash them to inform their Lights where on!. Our local Volvo dealer would disable them if you requested it. Pete

Stick a note asking if it`s for sale? Pete

I would suggest it to be UN. The age of the Vehicle, coincided with the change from BSF/BSW etc; to Unified Threads ( the 1948 international ISO standard agreement was slow to implement). The pitch will be the same But the form is 60deg with a Flattened top profile. Pete
