I Have this photo dated December 2018.................................. it is a SCAM

Chris is correct , SCAM, I have that photo on file, photo dated 2018 !!!! Be careful Johan , best wishes, Peter

Not this year James, hope to next year. Good to see your car progressing now. Mel and I , 2019

Hi All, My Morris 8 restoration was missing a door handle knob made from Ebonite. So I bought enough to make a GT40 knob too.

Hi Scott, Super performance use Bilseins. Thanks, Peter

Hi Scott, I tried Koni first, No help at all !. Yes very expensive

Hi Brian, Quote from Motor Sport Magazine: In 1959 Koni began its long relationship with Ferrari in F1, the 8211 competing in its first Grand Prix at Monza that year with Belgian driver Olivier Gendebien at the wheel of the Dino 246. A twin-tube design, the 8211 had a steel body heavier than...

Hi Andy, I am told there is a price increase at the end of the month so I'm going to "bite the bullet" Just want to confirm the sizes

Help Please, Anyone know the KONI part numbers for the front and rear shocks on a Mk1. They are 8211-13?? Thanks, Peter.

I ordered a full set last week.....

To help pay for the investment in this project I am offering a few donuts for sale, £ 600 for a pair, inc postage within the UK. Will post abroad by arrangement. Thanks Peter.

Hi Paul, Thank you for the very interesting input. I am intrigued to see a photo of the "plug" and what does it cover ? If you have removed the printed circuit board you should be able to trace all the connections to to make a diagram. Reading your thoughts above maybe there is no original...

This has turned up on e bay and I think it answers my question original coil, C5FF - 12029-A

And was the original coil an Orange/ yellow top, 12 Volt ?

Hi James, No apologies required. The opening question was faceted , and I am pleased to say I have received some useful info. I have the detail for the original set up and now can explore how to graft in a modern system. It may not be possible to graft something into the original Amp box, I...

Thanks, Graham, I suspected it was an electronic component. When you can. would you be kind enough to send photos , I would be grateful. Peter

Hi Jim , That is my thought, to put modern circuits in an old regulator box, I believe they were unreliable. and over complicated with the relay and double ballast resistor ! As James says above, the original parts will be there for "the look" However I am interested in how it all worked...

Hi James, Pertronix seems to be the favoured option. However I doubt if I will find a XF distributor, hence the idea of using the Hi Po one I have. Still curious as to what the "plug" on the outside of the amp is ? Peter

Hi James,, Yes, back in the day my Dad paid for my subscription to Practical Electronics, made similar circuits back then ! Nice box of bits, Will you use the regulator with your alternator ? I agree best to use a modern set up, I thought I might be able to make it look original by...

Hi James. Thanks for you input. I do not think I can acquire an original distributor or internals, it would have to be a modern set up. The amplifier would be easy to reproduce, the circuit is basic. The diagram has been simplified, there are a couple of capacitors, one large one that can...
