Thank you both!
-
So, when I stripped the Vitesse down the fuel pipe pick up was just plonked in the tank. There is a thread in the tank at the pick up pipe hole, but nothing to secure it with on the pipe. What should it have?
-
Thank you, I shall follow your lead.
-
Thanks for the photo, mine are not slotted and designed to be fitted forward of your. Think I know what to do now........

Thanks, they are on the way to me.

He does and they are on the way to me, thanks.

When fitting carb. heat shields, where does one put them? Is it between the inlet manifold and the carb or is between the carb. and the air filter box?
-
Looks like Mick Dolphin is coming to the rescue again with the carb insulator blocks.
-
Thanks. I'll contact him.
-
Argh right thanks.
-
Thanks Pete.

I've noticed mine goes from page 71 to page 77 that's all. But it still makes sense. Well after a couple of stiiff drinks anyway.
-
Did that include changing to nylock nuts as well? Which of course would be as much use as a chocolate fire guard on an exhaust manifold.
-
Argh right, thanks for that. I'll add spring washers.

Fantastic photo's Mike. Herald rally car, mmmmmm that's given me an idea!
-
Does anyone have any carb mounting blocks they can spare for Stromberg 150's? I need two please.
-
I've used brass long brass nuts to secure the downpipe to the manifold. Now, I haven't bothered with spring washers. I'm not sure if I should have but seem to think there not needed. Any ideas?

Yes indeed, the part not in stock at Paddock's were in stock at Rimmers (if slightly more expensive) and there response time was impressive as well.
-
I received a fantastic response time from James Paddock . I placed an order with them at 11am Friday morning and the item's arrived 24 hours later! Only down side was that they didn't have everything in stock.

I got a radiator in the traditional style off ebay. It was actually refurbished about 15 miles from me and the guy even delivered it!

New Member with Vitesse Mk1 in Suffolk

They all look absolutely fantastic! Any for sale? -
I'm thinking about fuel pumps now. My Vitesse came with a very noisey electric fuel pump on it. I have a spare pump. But I'm wondering should I revert it back to a mechanical pump like it had when it left the factory?

Second hand fuel tank condition (how long is a piece of string)?
Paul Amey replied to daverclasper's topic in Fuel System
My Vitesse tank is currently half full of white vinegar which is gradually going brown. So, something is happening inside. Then a mate has got some Bilt Hamber Atom Mac, which apparently you dilute with presumably water (after washing the vinegar out )and that forms a protective seal until you fill with fuel.
