I used it a lot in the seventies, made a hell of a mess though. ....... These days people are a lot more concerned about this sort of thing being done in public, and rightly so, we have to think of the environment. So please use in a responsible manner. |

Don't worry Julian, I was just being sarcastic, doesn't come out well on a forum though!! That's good advice though.Thanks for the compliment Malc. Russell, I used Jizer on the gearbox. Trick is to use a small pressure sprayer like this, http://www.belmoretools.co.uk/acatalog/ ... Litre.html Then let it sit for a while to do its work. I then just scrubbed it with a standard 'essential Waitrose' pan scrubbing brush spraying on more Jizer as needed. That was followed by a pressure wash with the Karcher. There was A LOT of caked on grease and muck on there. Kind Regards Russell |

Bill, Jizer is biodegradable and is not regarded as dangerous to the environment, which is one of the reasons why I use it. See the safety data sheet Section 12 for the product.To avoid runoff of the neat liquid into drains, I placed the gearbox on its stand over my large plastic crate to catch any neat liquid, oil and deposits, like so... I then strain this and reuse it, so it goes into another plastic crate where I can place parts to soak. - |

Biodegradable & recyclable, what more is needed. |

Ah-ha! That explains why mine do exactly the same on one side.

Free and plentiful availability from a self sustaining natural source?

Had a look at the spec sheets for Jizer, seems pretty mild, unless you eat it or make skin / eye contact, bleach is more hazardous. |

All these parts you've refurbished are far too clean and shiny to fit to a car - you should put them in a display case at home! |

Skip the display case, do this with it: |

It's when you look at pictures like all those brake part exploded views above that you begin to realise just how many parts there are in a Dolomite. I wonder if anyone, even those in the factory, ever managed to tot it up? |

Re=assembly of this car will be be a pure joy, a bit like being in a factory building new Dolomites! But I can't help feeling the finished article will be "too good to drive" - which would be a shame! Steve |

On the TR7 airbox comment James, I bought one recently thinking it would fit my sprint but the carb spacing is different between engines. Using my original backing plate and the TR7 cover it works so yours may be a hybrid too. I did wonder when I saw your pics previously if you had actually fitted it. I missed you at the show but saw your car on the stand, great project and a nice display too. Tony |
