I have found modern Waxoyl does set hard, rock hard in fact.. I left some in a jar with a brush, brush was solid in the waxoyl although it did not stick to the glass. I would stick with the sealant Ian.

Looking at the plugs Oliver it is running a bit rich, unless you have only done a short run before taking them out?

I'm with Clive, try a decent condensor especially if you have hot starting problems as well?

The Renovo product should not be used on vynyl if i remember rightly. Great for a mohair roof though.

Done one a while ago to replace the central locking solenoid, pain in the bum first time around. Not a bad idea though.

Here we go... I dont have a pic of the whole thing yet.
It's a Radiomobile Pablo Triumph fitted those as standard mostly, two of mine have them. Good radio in the day, they can be converted to modern.

Moss should have them in stock as they fit a huge range of cars

These are the correct ones Paula, but the ones at Paddocks will be ok.

BP5E were in
I think those would have been bp 5e Paula which would be correct as per the manual, which equal champion n12y. Just have a look the manual.

thats seems to be a short reach plug not correct for the 6 cyl which needs a 3/4" reach plug
do not get plugs with an R in the suffix they seem to cork up our weak HT voltages
6HS
- Type: Projected centre electrode insulator
- Thread Size: 14mm (9/16")
- Hex Size: 20.8mm (13/16")
- Reach: 9.5mm (3/8") <<<<<<<<<<<
- Thread Pitch: 1.25mm (1/16")
the normal would be BP6ES
Details about NGK bp6es:
- Threaddiameter: 14mm
- Threadreach: 19mm <<<<<<<<<<<
- Seattype: flat
- Hexsize: 21mm
- Tipconfiguration: projected
I have to say i was thinking that myself Pete, but not knowing a lot about the 1600 thought they might be different? I used to have the bp6hs in my sidevalve pop.

I'll check the choke.
Moss don't have any BP6HS. Is there another option?
Just take them out and clean them Paula, then give them a few minutes in the oven to warm them up before you fit them.... It does make a bit of a difference if its a bit flooded with fuel.

Agree with non member Paula, might be an idea to swop the plugs as well if you have a spare set..... It's trying to go....

I also used it on door trims and side panels. They indeed wrinkled and initially I thought they were ruined, but the solvents slowly evaporated and all was well after a couple of days. But headlining is thin, so no idea how it would work out.
I had the same problem Clive, only one door card didn't survive as it went rock hard when crinkled and fell to bits. So used emulsion on the headlining which came out far better than i had hoped for

Clive, Poppyman, thanks for suggestions - sadly I've tried cellulose thinners...won't touch it. I;ll try a small test patch with some vinyl silk if I can find it in black! Likewise with the Vinylcote - will post with the outcome!
cheers guys.
I think vinylcote might be to strong chemical wise for it as the headlining is quite thin Nick?? Great for seats though. You can get black emulsion but only use vinyl silk, the others tend to crack.
