Re: 8" front brake drums
This makes me wonder if any of the 'transitional' Minors made during that time were fitted with 948 engines and 8 inch drums as standard... something else to look out for at shows... I'll make sure I wear my anorak as I lay down to look underneath the car

Re: DATE FOR YOUR CALENDER - 5th November Footman James Open Day
This is a shame, I was trying to rally the troops!
Means I can probably make it next year though. An event just isn't the same without a nutter in an argyle jumper is it?

Re: Car show theft - E type
Surely the main club has some sort of list/database of cars that have been reported as stolen that could perhaps be shared amongst the members?

Re: drive chain or drive belt
The timing chain I fitted a couple of weeks ago (which wore really badly, really quickly) was making what can only be described as a hollow knocking sound. As it was so slack it seemed to be hitting the timing chain cover. Never heard a noise like it before but as it was the only part changed recent...

Re: Poor Quality Parts - Please report your experience
To add to that I have invoices and I've even kept the dodgy parts! The supplier did say that they could potentially offer a refund is I sent the parts back. They would have to send them for inspection though apparently before a refund could be given and the cynic inside me says that any results from...

Brake cylinders... replaced all for pattern parts after two failed (I know, I know but I was a poor student at the time) had one pop 2 months ago so replaced for lockhead ones. While fitting these the threads stripped out of two of them when only doing them up FINGER TIGHT :o 2 weeks ago I replaced ...

Re: Timing Chain Purchase
Yes, and it has become very expensive in recent months. Regards Declan I noticed the price! It's BMC's fault for recommending it all the time :lol: It just annoys me that the simplex chains aren't any good (though what can you expect for ~£4?). Wish I had left the old chain on there now with its sl...

Timing Chain Purchase
Anyone any recommendations on where to get a simplex timing chain? Not a couple of quid special like I bought from one of the well known suppliers as couple of weeks ago as part of a timing chain kit. I'd only done about 500 miles and it developed a rattle! (Actually more of a hollow knock as there ...

Re: Spotted today.
Been away on the Norfolk broads for a week, saw a few classics but Minor-wise I saw a bright yellow pick-up (GYM 589J, I think) with what I think was a jaguar mascot on the bonnet parked up along the broads not far from Norwich. Also a tatty traffy blue saloon (TAX XXXG or TAR XXXG) driving towards ...
