Gully Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Angie has a set of Mintex brake pads with my name on them this time around! And after the monsoon conditions on Saturday afternoon through the Chilterns returning from Fawley Hill I might need the splash guards in case of a future repeat! ??

Anglefire Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 One thing that you can't do (easily) on standard fuses on a Spitfire is work out the actual current draw - the modern fuses have a defined resistance depending on the rating, so by measuring the volt drop across the fuse via the two test points on the back of the fuse, you can calculate the current (ohms law) In theory you can do it on the glass fuses, but I'm not sure the resistance is as well documented or consistant?

JohnD Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Is there an agenda/list of problems that people would like to discuss? I'll come ready to demonstrate my hobby horses, ELoO, Laser toe testing and TDC by Piston Stopping, if anyone wants those. Multimeters also mentioned - anything else?

Anglefire Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Setting up the carbs? I have a very good idea of the theory but the practice is less reliable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I’m contemplating bringing the Spit. Problem with the carb settings if anyone wants to help ? Still bunny hopping in second when trying to maintain half revs. It’s a pain round town. Obviously if anyone wants to test drive her that’s fine with me.
