The time has come when I have had to get a second car (Something practical) which I pick up delivery of next week. So while I have a sensible car I will be doing a complete strip down and rebuild of the 7. What I am looking for is any blogsphotoshintstips regarding the stripping down and rebuilding. I will do as much of the work myself to save on costs as I can already see the bill to rebuild her is going up and up! I will be keeping the 1700 XFlow and will also strip and rebuild at the same time.

I was the cyclist waving at you. Nice day for a blat.
-
You where heading north, I was the one on the bike - don't think you saw me waving.
-
You where in traffic about to come out of Brickfield Road, I was the one on the bike waving at you when I went past.
-
You went past me near the cop shop roundabout this evening about 18:45 - I was the cyclist just about to hit the roundabout.

Thanks guys, several options to go for then but I think I will pick the tool to do the job as its only a few quid. I will most probably do both sides at the same time just to be safe. Bricol - Mythbusters busted that myth so not a problem about hitting one hammer with another.

The 7 has just past her MOT again, however she did an advisary with "Slight free play in n/s front top ball joint" What are my options to fix this myself?
-
Yep Yellow! And it was bright yellow at that! Just spotted you again GFW - mind you it was a little closer to your home. Good weather for it as well.
-
The direction you where going I think you where on the way to Wakehurst Place - was about 11:45am
-
I'm pretty sure it was you on Issacs lane just before Bolnore Village - I was the one on the push bike in the bright yellow top. I was just coming to the end of a 40 mile cycle ride.

My boot was full to the brim. Was thinking of Goodwood but weather will be really rubish so will be staying at home. ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW

Spotted you while it was chucking it down. Not sure where I was mind you, I was driving a school bus at the time. ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW

Right I am about to adjust the tappets on my X/Flow but the instructions in the manual are rubbish. Now normally I would do something like this with my Dad's help but he is on holiday, no problem I thought but how wrong am I. OK I understand that I need to check the clearance (not a problem) for each valve when a particular valve is in a particular position (OK so far). But how do I move the engine round to move the valves? ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW Edited by - Chaz23 on 5 Jun 2010 21:07:41

Windscreen is now off. Got the brackets to do and a lot of drilling to do. Any photos of how people have their areo fitted with the mirrors would be much appreciated. ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW

New toys arrived today in the form of carbon areoscreen. Now does anyone have a template on how and where to put the holes for the mirrors? Instructions on how to fit it as well might be usefull as well (what is happening with this wiki? Thanks in advance. ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW Edited by - Chaz23 on 18 May 2010 21:34:30

Mad Hatter, Just spoken to them and they can make a couple of cables up for me if I get them the broken one - thankfully I will be in Basingstoke tomorrow morning and so could drop them off on the way back - slight detour but might be sorted before the weekend. Turns out that they used to make the cables for Caterham. ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW

Many thanks to Jonathan Lee (I found his number on my phone). The fault: Short answer is I am a short 🙆🏻 Longer answer: It seems that the cable that started to snap is slightly longer than the replacement one and because I moved the pedals to a new location 3 years ago the new cable was pulling the throttle wide open. Temporary fix was to move the pedal back to the original position. The down side to this is that it is now difficult to get to 4500+ revs (so no chance of blowing the engine up). All I need to do now is find somewhere that can make a throttle cable the length I need. 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW

Mad Hatter, Just spoke to Seven Speed but unfortunatly they don't have any in stock at the moment, but I think they might have sold me something else which they are looking at getting. ----- 1993 De-Dion 1700 X/FLOW
