Another possibility.- There have been reports that some of the adjustment arms don't have as much thread on them as others, causing this problem.

Lovely car, regarding your indicator / tafficator arrangement are they driven by the same switch or have you got two different switches?. Also are you using the white front sidelights as indicators? Regarding the headlight peaks, I suppose that some people may find them attractive but as BMC points ...

Thanks MarkyB That is a great bit of information, I don't have a clever phone but the wife does have an iPhone, she won't for much longer!! So you can zero on the level of your garage floor and then measure vertical degrees from that. I can see that it would be easy to use this to do the tracking as...

Speeding - going to fast there!!!, its amazing how I can read my posting on preview and not see the error, DOOOO. :oops: Correction 'load spreading'. I was looking on the web and there are many ideas on how to measure the camber with DIY devices so I will go that way, at least initially. Thanks for ...

ok, so in summary: Make a plate to spread the load on the chassis leg, this in itself will introduce negative camber, then add washer as required to make up 1 degree of negative camber. (5mm = 1 degree) Then: Do one wheel at a time measuring the camber since the spacing required may be different on ...

Thanks, will do that.

ESM washers are: Thin.- 1.5 mm
Thick.- 3.0 mm

Ok thanks,
ESM seem to do a thick and a thin washer but they don't quote the dimensions, I will give them a bell and maybe take a chance and fit one, do I feel lucky?

Cheers

Hi All, I would be grateful for some advice. I am assembling the front suspension and would like to know if it’s possible to determine if the eyebolts require washers to give the correct camber without the wheels being on? It would be quite a lot of work to assemble the suspension and then have dism...

Excellent!

Thanks, I continue to assemble the front suspension, followed by the rest of the car.

Hi All. I have a 2.6 mm gap between the damper arm and the washer on the upper pivot pin. The castle nut that is tight and the split pin can be inserted, I doubt very much that the damper arm will move further onto the pin since there was considerable rust around that area and will probably be very ...

In defence of Halfords. I purchase quite a few item from our local, as long as you don't have to ask the youngsters that work there the service is good. The youngsters probably are a lot better than me at blue tooth thingies and very large stereos, they are also very capable at changing the light bu...

Thanks for that, now to find a greyish silverfish colour to paint my bumper and grille, fortunately the grille is not rusty but looks a bit naff, grey tarmac colour. Maybe it was designed that way because being a workman's vehicle it would be normally dirty, mine is very dirty I blame that saharan d...

Hi All. Having removed the front grille assembly (Austin type) which had swimming pool of salt water and the corresponding rust in that area, I have decided to paint the actual grille. Having looked up images of vans and pickups it seems that they have been painted in various interesting colours and...

If the head is good, ESM do a rather handy exchange, it would probably come to a total of £500 with VAT and shipping the old block.

Thanks, now to make some decisions.

thanks for your answer, I have the original system, rocker cover to air filter casing, did clean it all using air gun but no significant change, I think I will contemplate rebore and pistons, maybe fit a brand new 295 head that has sitting around for a few decades wrapped in a scum newspaper dated A...

Hi All Looking for opinions on my engine problem, it‘s exhausting fumes from the crank case breather tube and from the oil filer when the cap is removed. Assuming a good low compression engine has a compression of: 7.5 : 1 aprox. 130 PSI My readings are: Cylinder 1.- 140 PSI Cylinder 2.- 150 PSI Cyl...

Ok thanks will try that when there is some daylight.

Did try messing with mixture but had no effect, but will make it a bit richer. I dont want to go out now its dark so will have to take a day off work see if I can sort it during this week. My spark plugs have always been apale colour, Would low fuel level in the carb be sorted with bending the float...

Engine has been working very well so done nothing until this problem started, the distributor is electronic, this is my spare, made no diference when fitted, I suppose I could fit a normal points one just to make sure but it would be surprising to have 2 distributors exibiting the same fault. This i...
