Ouch!!

Thanks Denis. Out of the depths of my brain I suddenly remembered I’d bought something from Wipac many years ago and they are in Buckingham, not that far away. So first port of call is to contact...

Anyone suggest a source for these? Lenses are ok. There is a number on the lens 014030 and think they might be Land Rover but not sure which model. The lenses are 70mm diameter. Thanks.

I’ve been thinking about your comment a bit more Graham. A smaller bore master cylinder might result in insufficient travel of the slave cylinder to disengage the clutch? Is there a reliable method...

Thanks guys.
Dek

Thanks Graeme and Jon. A new master cylinder could be the answer. It would certainly make the car more driveable in traffic.

Thanks Aaron. Like I said every day”s a school day and I didn’t know you could get brake fluid safe ptfe tape!
Dek

That’s exactly the technique I had to use Jon, a combination of positive and negative pressures. I couldn’t draw a drop of fluid using the vacuum pump alone which is why I wondered if I had a...

I did try a pressure bleeder years ago but could not get a good enough seal. Probably wasn’t a Gunson. I did get a selection of different fittings with my vac kit but found just sliding the tube...

Thanks Graham you’re probably right. Putting some grease on the nipple threads is probably tokenism. I don’t know if anyone has had more success by taking the bleed nipple out and using PTFE...

Thanks Myles, I’ve never heard that. Every day’s a school day!
Dek

Thanks Roger. Pretty sure I wasn’t drawing any air through the threads as I could see the thick walled tube collapsing as the vacuum increased. At the risk of being dumb what do you mean exactly a...

Noticed that it was getting more difficult to select some gears and the bite point of the pedal to the floor was quite short. So thought might be air in the system and should bleed it. In any case it...

POR15 gets good reviews.

I use my infra red thermometer to measure the temperature at various points on the engine when trying to assess the true temperature to set the electric fan. It’s also useful to check the reading...

I can recommend Tanya Batteries to get it from. Many types and specifications to choose from with good prices and excellent next day delivery. I chose a Varta Silver Dynamite because of its high...

A cranking voltage of 8v seems low to me Paul. From memory I think it should be at least 10v. If the battery is always on a charger before use it might be masking a weak battery. Halfords do a free...

Any photos, especially of the Daytona?
Dek

Will do Chris. Should have booked earlier with NMS. Can’t get me in until July! At the rate you’re going it should be finished by then!
Dek

Thanks Chris. Since posting I found a contact email address for Edelbrock in the States but didn’t really expect a reply. Not only did I get one it was within minutes! They have confirmed it is...

The Daytona which has a Ford 302 has got an Edelbrock carb which I’m trying to identify and understand a bit more about. There is a number stamped on the front of the carb. on the offside which is:...

Not me either, thankfully.
Dek

That’s fine Graham. Pleased to help.
Dek

Sorry Graham, didn’t mean to step on your toes but heard that numbers were needed so that a suitable area could be allocated. Also it’s always useful as Club members to know who we’re going to...

Add your name to the end of the list please.
