  1. What air filter do you have. Does the offside strut catch it at all.
  2. I got mine with the brackets off ebay. They work great but beware if using on a 1500 with normal air filter box they wont fit. Ok if you have K&N pancakes, the right hand strut just clears the filters.
  3. I believe this is what you are thinking of https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-2000-2-5PI-MK1-MK2-STAG-GT6-FRONT-HUB-BEARING-SPACER-KIT/142872114056?hash=item2143d77388:g:GlcAAMXQQUpRBZg It's a spacer that fits between the two standard tapered bearings.
  4. there's one on ebay now £250
  5. You could fit an oil catch tank to the rocker cover,
  6. I had this on my 1500 Spit. Mine was re-bored +30. It was worse when hot. It turned out to be the pistons hitting the fire ring on the recessed head gasket. I took the head off and you could se where it was flattened. I took all four pistons out and had them chamfered. I remember there was a blog on I think MOSS or CANLEY'S website, or could have been another where they had exactly the same problem after rebuilding a 1500 pit engine. Danny

    Towing our cars

    My breakdown cover is with my insurance "RH" When I broke down they sent low loader.
  8. have you any water to pour over the fuel pump and carbs.
  9. I remember 1970 when going on the Isle of White ferry with a Spitfire4. They laid two planks down for me to get on. I bet they would not do that now.
  10. The pump I got from Rimmers was putting out 9 lbs of pressure. Causing all sorts of problems. I have gone for electric pump and a regulator also although it's a low pressure pump and does not need the regulator.
