Go on YouTube and search for Moss. They have a number of "How to" videos . One of them shows how to test and adjust the regulator. Danny

They are the best but a lot of money if you only use it once. There are cheaper claw types on ebay for around a 10 quid. Danny

GT6 Mk3 only runs well with VERY advanced timing. Any ideas why?

Same as my duplex sprocket. Can't be flipped so only half tooth adjustment. Danny -
Just made a quick spring compressor this morning to remove the shocks on the spit. I hated the claw compressors so made one from two old discs, and used the threaded part of the old claw clamps. Just 4 holes and your ready to go.

As Peter says, the wiring can be a problem. Over the years of oil, heat and movement it becomes iffy. If the switch itself needs changing, I have. Have found the replacements to be poor quality and never lasted long. I ended up with an Healey 3000 works type. The thread is different so the gearlever will need to be re-threaded to match.

That's exactly what I need as I fitted an aftermarket full width rad. Danny
-
The reinforced one looks longer. The one i bought was too short and only lasted 20 minutes. Can you measure the reinforced one and let me know where yo got it. Thanks Danny

I got mine cut at Timkins at my local Tesco. He had some Rover blanks that matched. Danny
-
I made up some alloy covers as the boots were too tight fit over the adjustable pushrods and kept coming off. I also sealed around the aperture with p shape seal.

I had a head gasket fail recently. Compression test ok. But when I pressurised one of the cylinders with a leakdown test I had bubbles in radiator. Danny

Which Soft top will fit my non original spit MK2 window frame?
dannyb replied to Assaf's topic in Bodywork & Fittings
I believe the capping on a mk1 &2 allows for the front edge of the softop to tuck under. What I remember with my 1965 spit which I owned over 50 years ago, there are flat metal in the front of the hood that tucks into the he groove. Long one in the middle and 2 small ones at the corners. You need to make sure it's the right screen capping. Danny -
After a rolling road tune my spit is set too 17 deg btdc. Using high octane fuel. Danny
-
My speedo is accurate up until 40mph according to my tomtom, but then starts to over read. 80mph is about 72 on the sat nav. Danny
-
You are correct, they made a mistake with the 40 years historic rules which they corrected so cars can use black and white plates up to registration year 1979. Danny
-
Probably to do with the time it takes to cure. Danny

There is a good documentary on YouTube about the Harrison clocks. H1, 2, 3 and 4 to determine longitudes, which worked in poor visibility. They still have these at the Greenwich Observatory Danny
-
Some ptfe tape will do it. I would jack up the car that side as high as I could to get the sump plug out without loosing to much oil. Danny
-
That's the adjustable thermostat for a Kenlowe electric fan. Danny
-
Yes mine are. No problem at all. But what I did do was to drill and bolt through the face of the bracket and the radiator support. Because the brackets are held with the radiator support bolts and if you want to remove the rad you have no support for the bonnet. Danny
-
I'm sure when I got mine some years back, there was a warning it would not fit spits with the two intake tubes. Never worried me because I have K&N filters. Danny
-
I know the nuts are 9/16 but I only have a couple of 9/16 spanners which I did not want to destroy. But plenty of 15mm spanners. It is slightly bigger but will get the nuts tight without any damage to the nuts. Danny
-
Just went and had a quick measure. It's a 15mm spanner approx 200mm long. First bend 35mm 2nd bend 55mm Leaves about 100mm to the open end. Danny
-
I'll have a measure tomorrow. Danny
-
Use this to get at the lower nuts on the manifold of my Spit. Danny

Have you a pressure gauge you can test to see if the pump is putting out too much pressure. Is the petrol pump recently been changed. Danny
