Re: head gasket

Re: head gasket

Hey Tony,

That's a mean looking piece of equipment :D

Briefly, what's the principal behind it? (I'm sure I must have read it somewhere but it escapes me atm)

It's my head we're trying to remove btw.

Cheers

Re: Fuel pump

Hey Dave, thanks ever so for yours and Clive's efforts. Great to hear it running even if.....

Re: Electronic ignition advice

I've got a lumenition set up on my 1850 - on it when we acquired the car- and touching a rather large plank of wood (with the Round Britain coming up) it's worked fine for 7 years!

Round Britain Run 2018

Well, it's drawing close!

Have done all I think I reasonably can to the Dolly, just a fuel filter to fit. A slight exhaust manifold blow but the bolts won't tighten up so I am advised we'll just have to put up with it as its probably unlikely to get much worse and not likely to be a catastrophic ...

Re: Tilford Classic Car Show - Rural Life Centre

We're planning on going.

If you have a spare pass, would we still have to book in, as I note the closing date for direct bookings is tomorrow (31 Aug)?

Thanks

Having got the GT6 looking pretty, we are now considering getting HOH in shape for its next 37 years in the reasonably near future and are looking for some recommendations for someone to do the job, maybe within 1/2 hour to 1 hour of NW London. (I had a quick chat with Dale at Moordale Motors a ...

Single or tandem ?

Brake master cylinder required!

A late (1980) 1850 so I am assuming tandem?
