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.

Re: Mirrors

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.

Re: Hub identification disc brakes

At least I now know I have minor stub axles, in the winter I will pull a hub of compl...

Re: Mirrors

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.

Re: Knocking from engine on medium revs.

I will try to post a video. This morning I took car for a short run to warm up. Rattle noice still there. It seems to be within a fairly narrow mid rev range. I can get rid of it by modifying speed and / or changing gear. With the engine warm I pulled off each plug lead in turn and reved the engine...

Re: Knocking from engine on medium revs.

Perhaps post a youtube video so we can listen very difficult from a description. Have you tried pulling a plug lead off and try with each cylinder not firing in turn to see if one makes any difference? No harm to rev up on 3 cylinders :tu1: Does crank pully seem secure as you mentioned you thought d...
