thats the best way as david says...<br>
1200 grade wet n dry used wet. Give it a week or two to harden through in case it tears. Then use a rubber backed flatting block and carefully flat the drips off. Quick T-cut or farecla G3, polish and it will disappear...<br>

you have some ignition problem somewhere. I also had a sudden breakdown on a perfectly fine running sprint once that turned out to be the rotor arm shorting out to the spindle...fine spark at king lead but nothing from dizzie cap, which given the nature of sprint leads is a bit hard to daignose cos ...

I strongly suspect its been like that for ages and there is actually nothing wrong with it.<br>
You probably didnt get the compression tester to seal properly and in a depressed state of mind beleived the worst.<br>
Its .... the bakllast feed terminal at the starter. I've lost count of the times my ...

does have an affect on valve timing as Mart says.<br>
Its best to time the cam accurately and a vernier pulley will accomplish this at a price. Best to check that TDC is accurate with a dial guage too if you are going this far.<br>
Then set the dizzy timing up when the cam is right as the dizzy ...

Later GT6's had 5.5J wheels, which do fit a Spit okay.<br>
Not sure if the bearings were uprated becuase of this.<br>
<br>
Dolly and Spit hubs look very similar and the bearing fit method is identical but the discs have a bigger offset on a dolly so thinking about it dolly stub axles must be longer ...

would repair this easilly but you would need to source new chrome trim and bumpers. I have spare lights, as does everyone else....<br>
<br>
I would get the best offer you can and make sure you retain the car. I haver had friends recentlty who lost their cars to the insurance company without being ...

I find these old rev counters sometimes need a tap on the glass to get them to wake up, especially after a long period of lack of use.<br>

I'd replied to this last night...but somehow the post got lost.<br>
The wiper park mechanism has its own seperate power feed, which goes direct from the fuse box and bypasses the wiper switch. Its a green lead from the fuse box. Have a look at the wiring diagram and its obvious. Clean the fuse ...

the rubber fuel pipe support bracket grommet is in good condition. Its at the back of the head and sometimes is left out allowing direct contact twixt pipe and bracket.<br>
Other than that its just a matter or careful routing.<br>

Another joint dolly and spit owner...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ...

With the SU's the jets, needles and discs are relatively cheap to replace. If these are the later type return spring, which most 1500's seem to have, I'd say thet the spindles arent so likely to be worn. Heat shield is also very important n the ohv cars. Even unknown second hand ones make good money ...

Spitfire ones? They look very similar, take the same wheel bearings and a very similar if not identical brake caliper...<br>

Static timing without a light isnt that accurate. There is always a bit of slop, stick and backlash in the distributor drive and advance mechanisms, be they vaccum and centrifugal or combination. Best to set the timing with a strobe light at 800 rpm and then check that both vacuum and centrifigal ...

You have mail but I cant reply at work so if you reply<br>
to mine I'll see it later tonite...<br>

Dave can you email me about the wings in cullompton in devon?<br>
I dont want to fight you over them but as these are so close to Garies I wouldnt mind a clear shot cos I have fairly immediate plans for them for a car you may even be interested in...<br>
<br>
We can talk more off the board...<br ...
