If you’re in need of a viscous coupling I have a brand new one plus a new tolerance ring for sale. £69.99 posted to your door. I bought it recently from Wins so (it’s a decent one) and no longer need it because I found a complete new; boss, coupling, and fan. So fitted that instead. it’s on eBay if you want to take a look at a couple of photos.

With regard to the carbs, I had similar problems to you until I fitted the club solid mountings. My rubber ones didn’t look too bad until I took them off and found how perished, and obviously leaky, they really were. I guess you’ve given them the WD40 leak test though already. Just a thought.

All the best, Bish.
I've what is supposed to be a good VC and boss in the garage waiting on me making my mind up. But since I got a better leccy fan for £20, I've fitted that for now.

Yep, done the WD40 test and passed it. Other than the gRimmer gritty rubber mounts I bought in the late 80s, which literally fell apart, I've not actually had one that leaked. But I've seen some that looked dreadful.

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).
