Re: Forum Update
I could just about use the old format on a mobile, but it was a pain. New format is great. I'd say I'm 50:50 mobile vs laptop.
This format works GREAT on both.

Re: 1850 fueling
If it was me I'd start looking for fuel flow problems. If you can jerry-rig an appropriate low pressure electric fuel pump in place of the standard mechanical one. Also if you can - get a fuel pressure gauge in the feed to the carbs that you can see as you hit the 5400 "limit". Check for i...

Re: West Yorkshire Meetings
Bit of a moot point as I'm now all the way over in East Yorkshire these days, but not far from the Brickworks is the Bobbin Carrier, which used to be a decent place. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bobbin+Carrier/@53.7357354,-1.7233652,81m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x487be09727410c15:0xe94a249c...

Re: Sprint additional top end oil spray / feed
Top end oil feeds usually tee off the galleries via a blanking plug on the block. Thus they MUST be restricted otherwise they'll starve the front mains of oil pressure. IMHO not needed on a road car and of dubious benefit even on a track car.

Re: 1850 Register launch
Hi Sean, I took a look at the form - from my point of view I got as far as "Model" and as a bit of a pedant I got stuck. My cars is a Dolomite and it has an 1850 slant 4 - factory fit. But the model is neither 1850 nor 1850 HL. The model is technically "Dolomite" as it's an earl...

Re: Best learner welder options?
I would highly recommend doing an evening class on welding tech; I was part of a small group from work who enrolled a few years back at Farnborough ( Hampshire ) technical college. It was 2 hours a week for 10 weeks and the lecturer was a very experienced guy from the local army camp. It's a really...

Re: 1500 running woes
Not saying it's not guilty, but Ei systems usually either work as advertised - or don't work at all! There's not usually any middle ground. But I could be wrong, it has been known! Steve 90%+ would agree, but... last time I had the Spitfire rolling road tuned the EI was intermittent - I was embarra...

Re: Best learner welder options?
£1500? I budget I could only dream of. I started out with one of these (not mine, but same model in similar condition) second hand off ebay for about £80 many many many years ago. It's done a lot of faithful service but is a b1tch to use on thin body panels. https://i.postimg.cc/ct74dhjG/clarke-mig....

Re: Steering lock shear bolts
Largely irrelevant here, but for those interested, on Spitfires even up to the 1500 model the sheer bolts on the lock/ignition assembly are recessed into the lock housing and are UNC. This makes the use of cap-heads tricky. So I ground down some button heads to make something similar to the original...
