Thanks Pete. Is this another book I need to invest in? I have most but none seem to provide all the part dimensions I think the 13 is right as there are two studs with no thread I assume used to position the gaskets and manifolds making 15 in all same as the gasket Is it better to purchase a whole gasket set for the rebuild? Aidan

I have that T shirt Adrian Aidan

Hi - back to this again Received the one Pete recommended and as I have pre-soaked in plus gas for a couple of weeks all came out with a spanner easily I have a couple of questions I will be putting a new set of studs in, but there seems to be three sizes. Looking at the parts diagrams there seem to be three sizes PN: 105124, 105125 are these 5/16 UNF? and 101962. I assume the last of these is the thicker size but can tell me what that size is please? Whats the best way to refit the studs? Double nutting? Lastly what quantities are needed? Canleys suggest 13 in total - seems a little odd! (no pun intended!) Thanks Aidan

No. I'm in the East Midlands but have found him to be a great source in the past for hens teeth! Aidan

Chic Douig is the man for most panels especially those that don't have much stock floating around Aidan

Thanks both Aidan

Need to ask again about the best route for stud extractors I have now got my engine for refurb I will need to remove multiple studs from exhaust manifold to water pump to head. The ones above seem to be for specific sizes, the one Adrian decided on does multiple sizes If the better ones are per John then what sizes do i need to buy? And where is the best source? Aidan

Tom. If you follow the link above Tuesday 721pm the website states that yes it's fine with led bulbs Aidan

So the unit arrived this morning very quick delivery Fits perfectly although you do have to find a place for the earth lead. I loosened my plug socket which is on the back of the bulkhead and attached it to the socket bolt and tightened it up. The result: 20180504_163542.mp4 Aidan

I couldn't have put it better Clive As long as the cars are enjoyed and more to the point used, they become a reminder for everyone how cars used to be Aidan

Order placed and free shipping Installation and testing to follow Aidan

EEEK Lets hope its not that bad Aidan

Hi Colin Based on the dimensions shown in their diagram, yes. I will be buying one as soon as they have stock so can confirm before anyone else interested purchases Aidan

I had a reply from "Classic Car LEd's" and they are expecting new stock for the negative earth units at the end of the week Aidan

Maybe this one? The wiring looks to be correct for the GT6 mk1 https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/indicator-relays-electronic/products/12v-electronic-indicator-flasher-relay-classic-car-with-oe-click-x-l-p-2-3-pin. For some reason you can't select the neg earth version I have emailed them Aidan

Dave I know this isn't helpful but I have been looking for one for ages and have failed I added a buzzer but tbh it's not a great solution Will be following this thread Aidan

Gonna rain tomorro though! Aidan

I don't smoke

Thanks guys I will (as first planned) be going for the full mot sign off then Aidan

Hi I went to see my mot guy last week but he did not mention anything about emissions. Has this tightened up in the latest changes then? He said it was best just to get it mot'd My GT6 had no issue with emissions last year Aidan

Good for you Wayne Aidan

Hmm best to use the KISS principle as with everything! I didn't go down the route of working my way through from the smallest fuse up until it stopped blowing! I just added the amperage up and added a tad! I ran all the electrics in a test for 20 minutes so I would agree I might have over egged it a bit but it has to be better than 17amp continuous and 35 spike! Aidan

Ha. Just went over to Adrians at the weekend to have a chat about electrics in general and he has purchased the same box to ( I should have asked for a commission ) As to your point on the wiper motor I really need to check which fuse it's on I have not had a fuse blow though so it would suggest I added the appropriate amperage for the circuit. I will take a look and come back to you Aidan

This is where I got mine from https://www.advancedfluidsolutions.co.uk/saej30r9-r10-r7-fuel-injection-rubber-hose-95-c.asp Aidan

From your description and symptoms I would suggest that the alternator is at fault and not charging correctly Does your ignition light have a slight glow? That's often another sign Aidan
