  1. Local welding supply business should stock it - BUT - be careful with it - its evil stuff even if its brilliant at reemoving heat staining David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  2. TADTS Pack in dry sacs and sarry a couple of microfibre cloths 😬 😬 😬 David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  3. Agree re steering lock but also there is the joint adjacent to the clutch/ brake M/C David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  4. Brian This sounds more than a bit fishy to me. Sounds like the sump has had a clout and created a leak - even with his older car experience the buyer may not have been sensitive to the ultra low sump level. Call me a cynic but i don't think you should accept any financial responsibility here at all David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  5. Can we have a separate links page upon which members web links can be recorded - a separate issue from useful web sites where we might source spares, tools and upgrades so we can actively swap photos of Sevens and seven events David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here

    heater

    Heaters are for wimps ❗ ❗ ❗. There is enough heat transfer from the engine bay to keep you warm even on a cold day - unless you are using aeroscreen/ brooklands - shed the heater and the consequent weight - stick to the Chapman principle David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  7. Simple fix using the Chris W article. There is often - particularly in heavy traffic too much temperature variation if the thermo switch cuts in and out and i prefer to switch on earlier using manual over ride if the thermo switch has recently activated. Also need to watch heatsoak which can reverse back into the head if you've got headers wrapped - the tendency to warp metal should not be encouraged so a mix of manual and auto contol should catch normal overheating early. Myles - did you cut the article from the pdf version of LF about which all seems to have gone quiet recently 😬 *wink* David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  8. Did mine about 3 years ago with Caterham kit - no chassis mods just a couple of skin holes to cut which are ezpz. Suggest you speak to John at Millwood whose service is first class. Took me about 3 hours a side with the hardest bit getting the new taper joints on the TR ends done up. Well worth the effort as each piece of metal is then dloing only one job rather than the top link acting with the ARB to provide triangulation - the ARB is just providing roll resistance. Well worth the effort 😬 David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  9. Agree with the recommendation from K80Rum but suggest you mask off the whole of the dash so you can then decide how you want switches configured for ease of use. This will give you the option to draw out a variety of options before committing yourself to drilling. A bit of care needed if you want the switches in a bank as the back sections of the switches are different sizes - see webshots below. Make sure that if your cutting CF use a sharp hole cutter or new drill and drill slowlleeeeee David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here Edited by - Sootysevener on 6 May 2007 21:34:10
  10. Dave I got a home for them if you can blatmail me details of numbers and approx sizes - YHM David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  11. Driving up from portsmouth last week my temp guage was rock solid at normal operating temperature 180 deg F but the LED which trips when either the manual fan overide or the temperature driven switch was glowing - though not as brightly as when the fan is operational. I cannot figure this out as the temp guage is new and the lighting of the LED only operates dimly at sustained high speed, not at low speed urban driving. I suspect that the temperature sender is faulty but how do I test it. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed 🤔 🤔 🤔 *confused* David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  12. Just got delivery of Maxiflow 1A head from Steve at Vulcan - less than 24 hours from pick up to delivery and I'm chuffed 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here

  14. I mounted mine using 3mm SS bolts into rivnuts set in the tube frames and then put velcro in between to stop the vibration. Result is firm fix and no vibration David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
  15. Easi job and whilst the rear cover is a tight fit its certainly still perfectly useable. Some piccies on webshots - see link below David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here
