Re: Cooling...

So, I trialed the new radiator during the recent nationals weekend. It went well with a wider power band and drove much better, keeping cool in standing traffic and no hint of overheating when stopping after stressful driving. I binned off the electric fan at the same time. With the original air cle...

Re: Cooling...

Quick update on the cooling.. So, pending the radiator fitment, yesterday I swapped out the twin pancake filters for an original TC version with a fresh filter and weakend the mixture on each carb by 2/3rds of a turn as it needed to be richer to run smoothly previously. This also enabled me to turn ...

Cooling...

Following the recent posts about the hot weather and overheating/fuel evaporation issues, I've taken a spare radiator in locally for a recore. Having examined the one I took in, the reconditioner says that it's double rowed and each tube is around 13mm apart. They're suggesting that a 10mm gap betwe...

Re: What to do about ancient brake calipers?

Do Spitfire caliper make any difference to braking performance? Or is it just an availability thing?

Re: New Club Mag

Thanks I wondered that but wasn’t sure as the Moprod ones I have seen pictures of ( never seen one in real life) have been shinier than the cast ones but this one looks like it’s been there a while.

Re: BATTERY

My battery, a Yuasa from 2012 failed over the winter from sitting. Usually I disconnect it and leave with it working fine when reconnected. This year I had to do a full charger session which got the car started for it to fail again after a month. I ended up buying an 038 Napa brand battery from my l...

Re: MORRIS MARINA UNIPART NOS FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER TOP ARM REPAIR KIT (GSV1122)

The arm can wear also. There's a thread somewhere on here detailing the rebuild. I have slight wear on my own set but with new bearings and regular greasing, they work extremely well and corners like a modern car. It seems that the LH steering rack bush is the big Marina wear point and that's the fi...
