That’s superb! Love it

Hot starting and poor economy are signs of a failing coil if your confident it’s not fuel vaporisation or very rich running

Ha ha - love that. Mini Easyrider

Using the old water pump and will find someone angled pipes to make the EWP fit. Cut a few bits off the pump housing I think I don’t need to make more space - now just need to find someone that can weld some holes up! Also ported the inside ;)

It was just that that space is so tight as the flow in to the old pump comes out towards the chassis (rad is forward already). I prob can get round it with a Heath Robinson pipework set up. Was just wondering the flow in pipe direction of another setup but seems you’ve plated yours anyhow. No...

Hi all, been a while! So happy NY if not too late. I’ve just started playing with fitting a EWP from Davies Craig (fan already installed). Doesn’t look like It’ll fit in with the current water pump and thermostat combo - I don’t have the most common one for alloy head motors. However in my...

Same here, been out a while with kids getting the way - great job done. That colour choice is spot. Can’t wait to her her in the flesh

Amazing overview

I guess you know this if you work on cars but make sure the bleed nipple is at the top of the slave too so it bleeds properly - have seen them upside down! as Panky says it’s most likely the fluid getting hot from the exhaust. I actually wrapped my slave cylinder when I had an exhaust that ran...

Broke the bank a bit! Surprised they say it shouldn’t need mounting with how heavy it is! Will see how it pans out once fitted.

Got a new toy to fit this Winter to go with the Davies Craig electric fan. Yeah!

Wow my post was a long time ago! I did find one in the end and played for a year or two before selling it on. Defo earned its keep in that time

Yer a sounds like I’m teaching you to suck eggs then :) Reg exhaust - been there all the way to La Rochelle and back :) Bit stumped in that case bar adjusting further. I’m fortunate enough to have an ally head engine and SU carb so goes very well up hills usually. Live in the Peak District so...

Maybe worth checking there’s no play where the gear lever connects to the selector rod (bolt that’s wired up). I’d had this where it was a little loose and it struggled to spect some gears, this is under the floor box that the gear level goes in to. Next - it may well be those 2x bushes that...

As a quick fix and might sound daft but maybe try switching the drums over to see if it helps. Sometimes it does with pulling left and right. Maybe chamfering the edges too?

Amazing what people throw out nowadays

Yorkshire fix - snapped my classic fog light switch right at the base and couldn’t find a suitable replacement. Melted a pop rivet into it and works/feels/looks lovely At least I think so :)

My favourite joke of all that one - not to be used in front of Chris Eubank

Delving deeper - ok it seems they do always make a noise

It’s a facet but the black plastic half cylinder type rather than cube. Good to know that yours does that too, maybe it’s a feature :D. Online people seem to talk about them going quiet once pressurised and mine has probably once or twice in 5 years! I’ll maybe put up with it then Ta again Mr P
