Ken, to assist with visibility, you might consider installing a high level LED brake light too. Dave

Happy New Year Romain, excellent work and looking forward to seeing your posts in 2018. Dave

George, two other things which I didn't see mentioned, both with a propensity to break the roll-pins; 1 As suspension moves between bounce and droop, the distance between the inner and outer cv joints changes, so the shafts accommodate this by sliding freely in the splines and must not bind...

A friend is getting together a group of cars for a 'club stand' at the Argyll Festival of Performance on 2nd and 3rd June 2018. Based on the Cobra Drivers Club format of GT40s , Cobras and Sunbeam Tigers, if anyone is interested in bringing their car, staying for the weekend with free entry to...

Distortion of inner race could be the issue based on your description: A couple of possible explanations based on a small spindle diameter or large brg bore; Resulting in a slack bearing inner race, which could explain the noise if the bearing did not seize totally and continued to rotate...

Great stuff Ian, reminds me of a video I made a while ago :) GT40s at Goodwood 1966 well 2004 actually

The noise you heard does sound more like debris but Impact due to accident or kerbing or harsh assembly technique? Look with a magnifying glass for indentations on the raceways. I had an instance where my road car was hit while parked. After body repair I heard a droning sound which turned out...

Keep it up Brett, this looks like a milestone now. :) Dave

Well done Nick. Starting in 3rd, been there done that, I don't feel alone now, seems that there is a club :) Dave

Thanks Andy, I managed to do one last night. The most difficult part is getting the lead to turn the corner in the boot which is where a piece of wire helps to pull it through. I will post the technique with some pictures. Dave

Thanks jac, I think you are right about the last few words as there is a ridge at one end of the sleeve and looks like a matching cavity in the boot. You reminded me that I do have some silicone spray too. I see that one fitting aid is to tie a wire or piece of string to the lead to draw it...

I cant find any info on how to assemble these. Has anyone done these? Getting the lead through the plug is a major challenge but after this and crimping I am not sure whether the brass plug ends up with a 90deg bend in it and exactly how the white plastic sleeve goes in. These are for the ford...

Hi Ian, if your tanks are the same as mine, you can remove the level sensor, which accesses the open chamber at the back where the pickup tube is located. Dave

I removed the additional filters from before the LP Pumps and rechecked the flows, but still less than 1 litre/min. Didn't have time to check the pump inlets so I will do that later, but this doesn't seem to affect the car under acceleration, bearing in mind that I haven't been over 100mph at...

Some great pictures from this years Classic Car Tours event at the Rest! Rest and Be Thankful 2017 Check out the polished alu Cobra! Dave

Aah well, I placed an order for an LA1 but was notified that it is no longer available while Tech Edge are making changes to it. Up the ladder and down the snake! Dave

I see that trigger-wheels.com have a Tacho driver module for coil-driven rev counters Suitable for Megasquirt, Megajolt and many other ECUs the tacho driver allows you to retain your existing coil driven rev counter. If you have a more modern rev counter accepts the 5 volt output of most...

Hi Peter, what Ian said, mine is rod change, but I was considering change to cable. esp since my rear bush is disintegrating. I will be interested to hear how you get on and what your comparison is if you had rod change before. Hopefully no issues for next week! mmm double de-clutch 2nd to...

Anyone have the answer to this? If not I'll just have to try it

I have an Icknield rev counter which was connected to the old distributor contact breaker. Will it now work with my Emerald K6 ecu which gives a 0-12v pulsed output? Just in case the answer is no you will kill the rev counter. :stunned: Dave
