  1. No such tube on H type carbs (which is what a 3A should have) Bob
  2. The column switch connects the real to earth, not 12V. (Normally), so could be loose earth somewhere, or just a bad connection. Bob
  3. Nice use of bike inner tube ! Bob
  4. Depends how you use the car, I started off with uprated ones on my TR3, but found them too harsh for normal road driving. Changed to standard ones, much better. I do have uprated dampers on the rear which are helpfull. Bob
  5. Don't try this with a sidescreen model !!! Bob
  6. I use the 86mm gasket (as in above photo) on my 87mm setup, it does cover the bores ok but would not go to 88mm. I use Wellseal on both sides everywhere where sealing is required. All good after 5 years & approx 8K miles. Bob

    Is this the difference between the insurance policy, & the breakdown policy.? Bob
  10. +1 for simply removing the wheels. Bob
  11. It will make a difference to bump steer probably, but so will the height of the rack, the length of the track rods etc. Best is to assemble it all with the springs removed so you can raise & lower the suspension easily, then see how much the horizontal angle of the wheel changes with vertical movement. I used a cheap laser pen attached to the hub, pointing forward onto a vertical cardboard sheet, raise, & lower the hub though it's total movement, & mark the laser spot on the cardboard every inch or so. you should get the top & bottom at the same horizontal position, & half way up will be an inch or so away from the car (to follow the movement of the hub as it pivots on the wishbone's. Center one was used in my case, the numbers are spacer thickness used under the (Racetorations modified TR7) rack Bob
  12. You are correct, but if you have a 3/8" socket set, it is just possible, with a couple of extensions, to get a socket on the inside nuts, passing them up behind the spring. I did that when I was fitting (& adjusting) the adjustable fulcrums offered by Bastuk. Bob
