I have no idea if they are competitive on price mind you. I have used them for engine mounts though and they are very helpful....

Hi,

Some good info there. The ebay link has yielded some interesting stuff.
So out with the tape measure tomorrow.
These are approaching half of the cost of our custom jobs for the ASM but of...

Hi,

I have noticed on a couple of occasions that there has been some nice looking alloy radiators suggested for various applications on this forum but as I think they were hidden within other...

MGBhive would be a good bet.

My corvette has Toyo‘S but I can’t remember the model.
215/60/15 I think.
It had an all season Michelin set but they were not in the first flush of youth as the side wall caused a flat one day...

Many years back I took my old Dax to a track session shortly after it was commissioned.
I was very disappointed with the amount of understeer I was getting. In fact I pretty much killed the front...

I have seen flywheels out of true by quite a bit but I have not experienced anything like you have there.
Have you checked the flywheel is mounting correctly and it's surfaces run true?

Having been trained in and then eventually teaching agricultural engineering I used to get occasionally arm deep into gearboxes.
I actually used to really like the work but that was quite some time...

Second look after a proper read and I can see what you mean now.
That looks like a ‘fence’ plate to prevent over travel of the selector dog. Presumably nipped by the other pair gear teeth.
So...

You can apply the mid ordinate rule on these type of settings.
First establish the range of adjustment then set midway.
Test and make a decision on which way to go.
Half the remaining amount of...

Try them on the other side of the upright.
Ie move them forwards.

This is not gospel and will need checking but I think if your seat is fixed then you can get away with fixed pads.

I can tell you that there are two diameters of discs available . EBC have most options I think.
The callipers are the same but the mount frames differ in width for the vented option and the original...

Hi. I import T5 z spec gearboxes from Modern Driveline in America.
They modify them for my application but have a whole load of useful info on their website.
I went to them for the forward shift...

My old Dax developed a creaking noise. Turned out to be the front side pipe brackets breaking off due to engine rocking.
I removed the front mounts and fitted an engine steady bar.

That depends on how you do it my friend

A quick and inexpensive option for reducing the rear brake would be to grind away pad material.
This then reduces the surface area in contact and it is the friction that does the job.

Some designs of pilgrim exhaust can be awfully restrictive. Particularly the underslung systems I have seen. There was one instance of an engine being barely able to run due to back pressure. This...

Yep, Demand have expander kit and they are very helpful.

Hi,

We had a batch of universal joints a couple of years ago that were very poor. They had to be sent back and we switched suppliers.
They exhibited a small amount of room from new in the cross...
