  1. 'Suppose I was lucky then. My 13/60 was also MoT'd. The chassis was very solid, as were the floors and all sills and panels.. . BUT..!! the gear change was diabolical! Needed new bushes and springs/circlips were shot (and fitted incorrectly), also the rear half axle roller bearing was shot and a butterfly screw was missing in the carb! What a nightmare to find that was why tickover was 1200!

    Still.... they are not MoT fails :)

  2. Thank you guys.

    Kevin, there was definitely a little yellow box came up, saying only 255, I think, allowed and mine was over 600. Weird that ???

    Doug, I don't think 33 is excessive in 53 years!! :) only one every 18+ months ! Mind, these last few years I have had 2 or 3 on the go at the same time. I kept the st205 wrc for over 17 years too! :( great car. Really miss it

  3. Just noticed my list of previous cars in my profile has been 'lost' due to being too long :)

    the system now tells me only 255? characters allowed and I had 600+ but I cannot re write it as the delete/space function is not working correctly (on my android phone.)

    is it me or have the powers that be modified that section?

    Edited to say

    ohhh... just been back in and it all still there?...? Is it me?? Again :)

  4. 40 minutes ago, Mathew said:

    Why is this in this section and not the electrical section where it would get more responses?

    I think the OP has only been on here a couple of times and as he needed 'help' he has used the forum 'help' section, not realising it was for 'forum help' (and suggestions)

    An easily made mistake for a newbie :)

  5. ??? Started what :)

  6. Fixed it thanks, gentle thread file and a clean with a die got it started.

    Then spent an hour gently sorting fan blades.  Spins sweetly now. ...more spares for the box :)

    oh oh ooh, one more post for a thousand !!!

  7. I just confirmed that I have exactly the same as Shaun (prawnable) on my 1971 13/60.

    The only fuse on the car is on the main beam 'flash' feed and YES, the side lights feed off this when the stalk is in the main beam position.

    My instrument lights only come on after second 'click' pull on the master switch.

    Hope that clarifies it :)

  8. I don't know John but she is using the personal messages on here with a message saying F☆☆k me on here. Cab someone tell the Moderaters? 

    I don't know how to. She has an attractive picture but no posts yet.

    Off to sleep now ATB 

  9. Hmmm. Velly intelestink... My seat back top goes that far rearwards it would be past the top anchor point !!??

    Mind, my seat is a bit saggy :)

    Never seen that configuration before.

    If structurally sound, it alleviates the need for the 'angled' reels 

     

    oh, P.S.

    that "throttle return spring" is novel !! I guess the stay bar and compression spring, at the other end of the spindle are foobared then??

    If you need and pictures of my set up Colin, jus arsk :)
