Well recognised Phil

IMG_20240316_121357783.jpg Hopefully the image will post. The difference between old original and new replacements is quite obvious. It's impossible to fit the spring with the longer "hook". I junior hacksaw a piece off to make them the same as the originals. No problem fitting using a pa...

Bill That is the main seal of the slave cylinder. The dust seal of the slave cylinder is much larger. See link below. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395196380647?itmmeta=01HWJHXB2ZACMZY64D4Z2EZYR9&hash=item5c038a35e7:g:tqcAAOSwMSxfw-yI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAIDWhzUbgU1dnMmsRKEcC6yPzURyL3dTxxv4Tt...

Would help if we knew what it was, I'm guessing a clutch slave cylinder? If so the indentation in the piston is for the pushrod to sit in so faces outwards. The rubber looks like dust seal and should be concave outwards.

Mine was fitted in July 2021 just before I owned it, hopefully it's one of the reliable ones. The invoice states fit genuine SU fuel pump and original pipe to carburettor I have cleaned the filter, connections and ground as routine maintenance. It did have the black tape around but I removed it when...

Thanks for the correction about the humped cover and the info for the op.
How did you identify mine is a recon pump? The documentation with the car has a garage receipt that just says replacement pump fitted. Is the aluminium tag that says electronic not SU/ Burlin original?

AKD530 Manual is available to download from Internet for free and contains a section on fitting belts to the various models in section R

If standard the pump is under the bonnet, passenger side on side of battery compartment. It has no fuse with ignition on 12v to terminal and make sure earth is ok. With ignition on give it a tap and see if it starts clicking, it has points that maybe stuck. Mine is electronic type as it says on labe...

A response today to a 22 year old post, surely a record

The only place for electric cars is Scalextric track

Have you checked you are getting full throttle, it can rev out at part throttle with no load but not when under load.
Also is tank breather clear, try with fuel cap loose

Or here is the T into original switch position, not as accessible maybe, although my vacuum advance position doesn't help but it could be repositioned.

If you use the search, lots of posts about fitting oil pressure gauge, either T at oil pressure switch or remote mount T piece.

Nearside checked, only one washer so the left hand threaded nut was tightening on end of thread but still had bearing play.with two washer fitted, same as off side, the taper bearing now adjusts normally. It was this that made it feel like parallel bearing, as fully tightened nut did not adjust the ...

Phil posted some excellent info on bushes

I don't know if still available but vinyl weld used to be the go to

Some cars if you left indicator switch in either left or right and switched off the ignition the front and rear side light illuminated on one side only. Marking parked car without having 4 lights draining battery. I believe parking lights were required on unlit Road.

Thanks Phil the castellated Marina locking ring is what I have but fitted over a castellated nut that has possibly been ground down to give the right depth for the locking ring to align with split pin hole in stub. At least I now know I have minor stub axles, in the winter I will pull a hub of compl...

Hi Phil finally got to remove outer wheel bearing and would appreciate your comments on what I have. You were correct the bearing are tapered There are 2 washer, one slightly thicker between adjusting nut and outer bearing. The castleations look quite shallow but the nut has a push over cover for th...

Drilled through chrome triangle in front of quarter light, it's still useable. Could do with passenger side having slightly longer arm, it's fine driving but would benefit when reversing to see back wheel.
