I'm sorry, Paula!    I was abaoaut to suggest you posted on the Vintage Radio Net site https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36 where some real electrinics whizzes live.

But if you plan to transplant a modern one in there, even better!

PS Your video required me to BUY a new Codec from Microsoft before I could watch it!    With apologies, I refgiused, on principal!

Too right. It wasn’t worth the watch!

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I’ve ordered a fancy new PCB one. I’ll squeeze it into this box... 

I’ll let you know when I’ve blown that up 🤣

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I thought i was getting somewhere. But it now doesn't respond at all. I might have killed it.

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I could always pop one of these inside.

Now, now... I'm sure it's really a quality product. Just like the spell checker.

Ooops!

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I tried. I think it’s been bonded shit. I’d have to break it.

Pity as I think its a rare item - theres one from Australia on ebay for 269 pounds + del but it has got a red wire...

Blimey. It would be handy to use too

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

Oh dear

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I think the instructions are for a different model. I may have the 'International' Model
There is no red wire!

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

A friend has sent me this little fella.
I'm a little confused by the instructions. The wire colours don't seem to match.
Anyone fitted one?
 

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

Well after all that I ended up without it.  He seemed keen to shift it quickly and I couldn’t manage that.

at least we got the Emma Chisit joke!

" get mine rebuilt "  have you worn it out already  ???? 

 

 

Nooooo It's all lovely!
I just remember you saying get one. Looks like i might have got the wrong one. I'll put it with the other bits. 😆

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I offered him £250 and he accepted. 
so the madness begins!

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I'm thinking it's not really worth it. I might as well save the money and get mine rebuilt if it comes to it.

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

He says he’s seen some go for £400 and is asking for offers. 
 

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

I’ll get a price.

That's great, well done. Was it head off in the end, or just a re-torque?. 

Just a re-torque it seems. Very happy.

Excellent result!

If the factory had intended you to do that they wouldn't have called it a Vitesse!  😛

Well exactly.
And I feel i'm showcasing the glamour of British classic car ownership. 😆

Result! Unfortunately our cylinder head design makes rechecking the bolt torques after 600miles a right pain so I just crossed my fingers and luckily havent had any problems. However I do recommend keeping your revs under 10000😂

Maybe i'll learn to keep it under 70 mph now.

Maybe.

[Hello from Paula and her Vitesse]

New dizzy cap, rotor and freshly baked spark plugs(200' for 10 mins) 

And he practically started himself!
Running lovely. 

No sign of any water leak or bubbles!!!
I honestly don't know what i would do without you!
So very very happy. 
I haven't been for a drive yet. i'm letting him cool down so i can check levels again.

Wooo and may I also add Hoo!
