  1. It is, assembly instructions are to squeeze over fish.
  2. Not much help to you as i have only had the saloon 13/60. Best i could do is remove the hard top, then no hard top! Unfortunately i know there is a little more to it.
  3. I went to great Yarmouth today and ended up in Hunstanton! Got some bits for the house in one and some fish and chips at the other. Now if i could only remember why i went out.
  4. When does da javu become dementia Is it before or after your ability to spell go?
  5. The problem is after a few cold weeks its just too hot!
  6. The problem is after a few cold weeks its just too hot!
  7. The wires connected at the gear lever only engage overdrive in 3rd and 4th. Disconected at the engine bay will stop reverse lights and power to engage overdrive. It will not effect engine braking unless you only have it in overdrive.
  8. Well done pete, next time you can get an estate, you could practice on mine if you like.
  9. I know with mine I started with a virtually straight through, it sounded very loud but not much go! Got a sports system twin pipe with a centre box. Transformed the drive. Good sound and went very well. Picture before, now sadly sold about nine years ago.
  10. The only problem with coming to the end of a project is the compulsion to get another! Looking good but will you miss the challenge of making up sections and welding in?
  11. Its a sign of the times, rich people used to change there cars when it was full. My new car did not even come with an ash tray or lighter "now power socket and change holder/phone holder"
  12. Will have to wait on price of bearings till next week. Had to goto Wakefield to pick up some kitchen units!
  13. If the servo is on the bulkhead i would use solid pipework, as its neater and only two joints. If however it has to be mounted elsewhere i would have no problem with a flexible hose. I have made lines up for large machines more than 2 metres long in rubber using a mechanical crimp tool running 10000 psi plus. Thats why i put "like" plumbing. It is surprisingly easy if your competent. Like in all the manuals if unsure about braking components seek professional advice and there are plenty of companies that can make up lines for you. (I do have a qualification in making these lines up, from a company that make lines.)
  14. Off the top of my head without looking at my spares or car i would say yes.
  15. How do you join the brake pipes to the flexi's . Is it not a mechanical seal?
  16. Did this on my spitfire as i needed imperial to banjo for the hilux brakes. Easy to fit, just like plumbing compression fittings.
  17. It does look like pickup from poor lubrication.
  18. Plus one on the tape. Going home early morning in the 90's my spitfire burst one of the small hoses by the manifold. The whole duel carriage way was covered with white smoke. A bit of tape and the water from the window washer got me the next 10 miles home!
  19. At the time of building i suppose the motor car was not high on the priority list!
  20. Mathew

    Oil filters???

    Lincoln based i bet. Well known for substitution. Should be fine. Don't be fooled by there high price, what you get will do the job but you can get the same elsewhere for cheaper.
  21. 3.50 plus cost of bearing. So really does depend on the cost of the bearing
  22. 3.50 to do the lot sounds good, unless thats each! Doing it ourselfs would not include a new snap ring! So you would need to retain that.
  23. Hi pete, how much per bearing are you paying?, of all the times im in devon for the next few days, back late Wednesday. I can machine on the works lathe and wash out at home in my parts washer. I get a huge discount buying bearings through work. I won't be able to find out till at least Thursday how much. Have you already bought them?
