Hi Andrew (as you well know)..I recently changed them on my car.......whatever the size is I have the right socket.....I can check tonoght if you need to know.. I assume this is a good sign......engine mounts mean engine going back in ??? G Edited by - GPBox on 3 Jul 2012 11:43:44

Hi all, can anyone recommend the best option for the 'covered toggle' switch needed to completely remove the ignition switch when fitting the BR starter button ?........ also the 'thinwall' wire recommended in 7FAQ, where can this be sourced or infact is regular multistrand cable ok so long as its 20A rated ? cheers Graham

We are...thanks ! G

Excellent - can shelve the plan for a solar charger

Hi all, if I charge my mobile from the 7 battery (without starting the 7) once per day over a 3 day stay at LM.....will that flatten the 7 battery ?....its a reasonably healthy Banner...... cheers Graham

another for Sutton coachworks .....

Wow....thanks for all replies....G

Are there alternative suppliers for the exhaust mounting bobbin ?.......tx Graham

I have that from Dave in my 16SS....brilliant, completely changes the power delivery...much much more consistent and progressive.....enjoy !

Hi I have a 1.6SS ECU (I upgraded to an Emerald), think I also have a loom etc....Graham

Long long shot I know, looking for a pair for track day use, with or without tires......must be stright (of course)...thanks Graham

For sale a hood which I have had for 3 years but only used once (I cannot get in car with it on!), so switched to a half-hood. Hood is just three years old and other than one outing has been stored since.....also has zipped rear window....my car has FIA roll bar with double cross in middle.... so time to go...... offers around £130 plus PnP (South Oxfordshire area) or welcome to collect..or I'll be at Cadwell on 20th May also a set of hood sticks, 10 years old so not as new, but been off the car for last 3 years...around £20 + PnP ? here cheers Graham Edited by - gpbox on 6 May 2012 15:49:52

After a frantic week of trips to Road n Race (thanks Pete !) and frequent orders to CC (clutch, oil, spigot etc etc)...car put back together today......just been out for first test drive.......no leaks, good pressures.....little adjustment to clutch needed..........other than that SORTED *wink* PS - the 'Hydraulic' removal method for the spigot worked a treat, 2 minutes, 3 taps of the hammer...job done (thanks again to Pete for the old gearbox drive shaft)...worked perfectly for this job and as a clutch alignment tool !... and thanks to Simon (Shad) for the hoist....great bit of kit, and Andy (Grenpayne) for helping extract the mota' last weekend !. and another for Road n Race.....great service Pete ! G back to happy Track day action, Cadwell in 2 weeks ....

Hi are you sure you have the populated map in the k6 as the map the ecu is trying to use ?, ie k6 has 3 map profiles to chose from (i think)

I Wonder if the gasket is more about keeping road grime away from the motion shaft vs keeping oil in ?....either way, one ordered !

Thanks all, just when I thought I had a plan....I now need a gasket and a sleeve !!!

very neat, the K Spig bearing is very thin, was that the same of the Zetec ?

Hi all, planning to refit my engine this weekend (thanks RnR for fixing GB !!!) Questions: - Clutch cover to Flywheel bolts - do I use thread-loc ? ...what torque ? - Between gearbox and bellhousing appears to be some old sealant - does it needs any ? - How much coolant should a 1.6 K (without heater) take ? - When I refill with oil, Apollo will refill from Sump, should I overfill before starting ? - Spigot bearing...mine looks ok, but I have a new one (but no sleeve), does a 1.6K use a sleeve ?...best method of removing - does the flywheel need to come off ? thanks all ! Graham

thanks, Shad has provided all the equipment....hoist, leveler etc....just need to put it to good use now !..............

Now sorted.....thanks Simon (Shad)...next step extract the 'mota'
