Hello Colin I would think a outside circlip would do the job? just measure the diameter of the pin(not the groove or the groove if you can?) then find a metric one a bit smaller(with or without ears) Roger ps I have a small draw full of ones saved over the years?

Hello All I have a spare one if anyone is looking for one? Roger

Hello All I was thinking if I have a new fuel tank made about fitting the sender in the top of the tank and screw fixings(less chance of a leak!) What about this one? CLASSIC CAR fuel tank sender unit 12v or 24v (autoelectricalspares.co.uk) Roger

Hello John Nothing really other than my anti surge baffle does no work very well! If the tank is down to half and I go around Left handers to quick the engine cuts out(which is a Bugger in Spain with the Anti Clockwise Islands? It's just boys and toys and looking a shinny things at a Show!!! Plus with Spitty doing 44mpg I can probably do 300miles down to fumes(well beyound Bladder range!) I must admit when travelling I tend to refill the tank when it gets just under half or at the start of a longer journey and off up and down mountain passes or off the beaten track! Roger

Hello John Only toying with the idea at the moment! What I need is an old knackered tank to measure and show my late mates son as he works in fabricating and could possibly make one I can make all the bosses! Roger

Hello Mint I was talking to these people at Triumh & MG show on Sunday about a tank for my Spitfire and for one with more capacity and the fuel pump built in(I run ITB's EFI) and putting a dent/bulge in to locate the fuel filter he said about £500! I said I could make the fuel punp fixing plate and he said that would save about £50! Plus if I went ahead I would prefer a guage sender that bolts not the ring fixing type and I could make the flange perhaps another £50 off? Car Radiators Manufacturers | Heat Exchange Specialists: Coolex (coolexperts.co.uk) Roger ps they would make it to your own dimensions?

Hello All I have a 1500 Spitfire on the 1st engine I replaced the cam with a Triumph Mk3 Grind one and then later I fitted Megajolt and it was good I then fitted Microsquirt and it got better. Then I rebuilt a spare engine with fully balance and skimmed flywheel,lightened and polished conrods that were shot peened the block was decked and removed the fire ring and with a 0.005"/0,010" pop up, a Newman PH2 cam and good followers and camshaft bearings, light skim of the head and chambers altered and balanced and ported(by me!) the oil feed to the centre bearing was drilled out as in the Triumph Tuning manual and the oil gallery etc,solid spacers on the rockers,duplex chain etc, It is still a good lowdown pulling engine due the the ITB's & EFI but comes alive at 2,500/3,000 rpm and will still accelerate at 70mph in top overdrive (a 28% overdrive!) I get an average mpg of 40 to 45 never less at normal spirited driving(track days probably different?) It has covered 26,500 miles now oil pressure is 75psi cold @ 1000rpm and 50psi hot(normal)@1000 rpm (a bit less when in Spain and being worked hard up the pyrenees and hot!!) Roger

Hello All I rest my case! Roger ps £24 a year if changed at 6 years a no brainer and probably good enough for most Classic Car Drivers (unless you do a lot of track days etc?) And still better than crossplys! Buy Midrange Firestone Multihawk Z (175/70 R13 82T) Tyres at Halfords UK

Hello All I think 6 to 7 years max and the cheapest new tyre would probably better than a 7 year old one! Plus you all have cars that are worth mega bucks now so say £300 to £400 every 6 to 7 years(if you live that long?) is about £50 to £60 a year! That's not even a meal out with the Memsahib now (excluding hot dog stands!) Roger

Hello all I have a BSA Winged wheel in the shed if anybody is interested? I think I have the fuel tank as well and maybe the log book! But not the Bike! Roger

Hello Pet Here you go and at a very good price(just had 5lt delivered) Hexeal BLUE ANTIFREEZE & COOLANT | 5L | -37 ºC | High Concentrate/Longlife | eBay Roger

Hello All I fitted one over my work bench in the same position as the old one and had to move it as it was to bright in my eyes as it was in front of me and just above head height! I moved it to more above my head and is good. But I think you can have to much light if it is in the wrong place and they are the bright white type? Roger

Hello If you get stuck just show us a photo of the box connections and I am sure we can tell you what goes were if not obvious? Roger
