Ah, I guess sails need pretty high quality ones Jim.

I had a couple of grommets pop out of the seats a while ago. Yesterday, I came across this 'Tarpaulin repair kit' at a gardening show, which is a fair match for what is on the seats. Worth a try. Dave

Hi Kev, I'm on a mission to get this done by August:) Ok, so I have a Davies Craig Electric Pump, so thermostat is out. You can catch up on that saga here Water Pump So the two water outlets just need to connect directly to the main return pipe. Dave

Very sad, and I agree with Ryan the car looked very nice, hopefully it will be repaired to the same standard. With regard to the Ship of Thesus thing, I firmly fall in the doesn't matter camp. Since all of our cells are replaced since we first joined the forum, should we be made to re-register...

Bracket for Toothed Wheel Sensor. Since I found it impossible to measure, this was a trial and error exercise. A few stiffeners welded on to avoid vibration / contact of the sensor tip. Dave

Whats all this talk about cake, I thought I heard someone mention cake. mmmmmmmm delicious. Oh Happy Birthday Keef! Dave

Today I installed the rear air bleed connections in the intake manifold. It didn't quite go according to plan, but I think that it was ok in the end. The last time I did this, I had a little bit of difficulty with the 1/8 - 27 NPT taper, finding it much more difficult by hand to keep the tap...

Return connectors installed in tanks. Easily accessible through the level sender hole. Dave

Ryan I think its from Holman Moody, a 4x2 Weber intake manifild for Cobra | Intakes | Dave

Here is the current system, there is no room to use the Y pipe which sweeps down into space I don't have. What I need to do is go sideways to pick up the current outlet ( blue hose leading to stainless pipe at the side. So at the moment I can make up from bits, or buy a cobra cast manifold, make...

Thanks guys I appreciate your help, at the moment my outlet (from the old thermostat housing) goes to the RHS at head level then down, looking at this original layout it seems to go more or less straight down. It will certainly be easier if I can find something to fit the current routing as it...

No joy yet, so I will look at alternatives using one 90deg bend, one T piece, and aluminium joiners. Dave

Thanks Ian, but I suppose Y hose is a bit misleading as the two outlet pipes are parallel. Pictures show the manifold and the cast aluminium piece which I would prefer as a silicone hose. Dave

I have a 48 IDA inlet manifold with twin water outlets. I was looking for a Y hose to fit, but can only see the cast aluminium pieces on sale in the US. Are there any uk sources for a silicone hose to fit? Dave

John, brilliant in it's simplicity! Not sure about using the wifes' steak knife tho:uneasy::laugh:

Tonight I cut the centre of the toothed wheel out, using my best apprentice skills to file it to my marking out until it tapped onto the pulley. The id of the outer ring just happens to be the same as the pulley hub od which helped. Next I will finalise position, weld then true up the teeth if...

Welcome back Trev! Dave

Bill, I engineered my brakes around Wilwood 4 Pot fronts and 4 Pot HiSpec handbrake caliper rears. 310mm discs in 15" 3 piece spun aluminium wheels. (Might be less room within a cast or billet wheel) rear brakes front brakes Dave

This weekends efforts. Made a bracket for fuel pressure regulator. Fits neatly between trumpets with plenty of space below for the outlet pipe. Removed LH fuel tank and removed the rear vent pipes, and cut them short to reroute them to the front. I was also looking for a silicone y pipe for...

Thanks guys, I'm way below the expertise shown by many of you on this site, and I value all your advice and comments. Next tasks are to mount the toothed wheel on the pulley, and place the pump and filters, ecu and sensors etc. Dave
