Re: Sidelight/indicator earth

I would guess 'B' stands for Body e.g. as stated above, connection to 0V occurs when the lamp is screwed to the Body! Dave H. Guessing? Clearly electrical diagrams are not your forte.... B is for BLACK, the wiring colour for Earth Cables. The highlighted item 55 is the illustration for no cable con...

Re: How many of you can weld, and how did you learn?

When I left the Army in 1972 I was enrolled into a government mechanics training course. It had been a hobby for several years previously including maintaining small generators as part of my army life. So, First day at the training course in Leeds we were given a 6" length of 1" diameter s...

Re: Purolator - how tight?

Thanks for the link however given the current issues I think if I did go for another head I'd try through one of the restorers that sell second hand parts as opposed to risking eBay again. During my restoration (ongoing) of my Traveller, I converted to screw-on type oil filter. This leaves me with ...

Re: Combining Accuspark and Sparkrite.

How magnetic points work and why you can't set-up static timing with them. The object is to provide the correct 'pulse' to give the best 'spark'. So, a static Hall effect sensor will be used along with rotating magnets. The problem here is that the output of the Hall effect sensor will not give the ...

Re: GPO ladder

Maybe a few more details: Length, width, number of steps, distance between steps and material would help.

There a lots of step ladders on sale - whether or not the age and ties to the GPO/PO and Morris cars have an influence or not - ??

Just in case . . . I had a 'similar' issue with a Hillman Imp which turned out to be a loose cork sender gasket in the fuel tank. Started OK ran OK but then would stop for no apparent reason. The cork gasket was being sucked down over the fuel outlet. Vacuum slowly dissipated - gasket floated away a...

Re: 12G202 Head. Beyond salvage?

I've seen similar heads where the 'rust-holes' have been filled e.g. welded, and then skimmed. seems a shame to abandon such a head!
