You must remove the radio if fitted, then you can get a hand to the nuts. Either from behind the H frame or hand through the radio aperture. Danny

Should be the same as my spitfire. Two large x head screws just under the crash pad. Danny

I always put a thin smear of Hylomer on both sides of the gasket ring for the oil port. Danny

Just bought 4 at £3.64 each from a reputable dealer. I've seen them much cheaper but how are they so cheap. I wouldn't take the chance. Danny

I made the D shape then braised the ridges on. Painted black they look like the original. And much cheaper. Danny

I made my own out of aluminium. Not that hard to do. I could not find any anywhere at the time. Danny

My 1500 spit was set at 17 deg btdc on a rolling road. Danny

I had the same on my drivers door. No click / lock. It's the barrel bit with the ears worn causing it. I just put it back together. Doubt I'd find a replacement unless I make one. Seemed too much trouble to get it to click. Danny

My Goodrich braided hoses on the rear lasted 15 years then one started to leak. I've now gone back to standard rubber hoses. Danny

This is worrying, I'm waiting for full set of gaskets and seals for my newly rebuilt spit 1500. Ordered from Rimmers a couple of weeks ago. It's held up waiting for the Payen gaskets to arrive. I'm now thinking I should have gone for the cheaper option. Danny

If you look at their YouTube channel it shows all the cars for sale. And on the Saturday and Sunday you can watch the live auction. Danny

You can add a lowering block between spring and diff. Danny Looks like Pete beat me.

Are the fibre washers in place on both valves. As fuel can get past the threads and it also affects the float hight if missing. I've also had a new mechanical pump in the past intermittently putting out high pressure. Found this when fitting a pressure gauge to test it. The pressure fluctuating between 2 and 9 pounds. Danny

As the above. I also use a couple of long studs screwed into the engine block to help aline when refitting. Danny

I had this many years ago when I found the shaft was bent after removing the hub without the correct puller.. Danny
