    I suspect that the oil seal has gone on one of my half shaft bearings. Does anyone have the part no for these bearings? Many thanks John.

    My mondeo has a sheared sump plug which is a pain as I need to change the oil. I plan to drill out the old plug in the summer when I have time, but I need to pump out the old oil. Does anyone remember the name of the garage chain that used to pump the old oil through the dipstick hole? Any other suggestions? Thanks, John.

    Casey, try Julian Godfrey engineering in Heathfield on the Ghyl estate, a very competent bunch. There is also Martin Storey engineering in Crowbotough. Regards John.

    I have a very large amount of Knex building kits, at least 12 boxes worth. There is enough for four children so I am willing to split. Hardly any use and some still wrapped up. £100 or willing to split. Regards, John.

    I have a 1.8 '97 mondeo deisel. When first driving after being left overnight the steering seems to have got "stuck". The wheel requires a hard pull to initiate movement for about two miles after which it frees up and works as normal. Any ideas where to look? Regards John.

    Just a thought, what would be the limiting factor that would stop you using a caliper from a large capacity mtoorcycle? Would it be down to the strength of the mounting bracket? Thanks John.

    I have a ford rear axle and would like to convert to a disc setup. I have seen the new calipers from Rally Design but they inform me that they will not fit inside 13" wheels. Is there anyone that has converted to discs, can you give any info on what calipers you used etc. Thanks, John.

    I have just changed the top link and anti roll bar on my live axle car. I now have adjustable camber angle options. What is the best way to set up the castor angle and tracking? Is there a way to set the castor in the garage ie. with known square edge and then get the traccking done at a garage, or is it best to have a garage do the whole lot? What type of garage will have the equipment to measure the castor. Many thanks, John.

    Alan, I changed my Ital axle to ford and had the half shafts re-drilled to Ital pcd 😳. The old holes were closed with a steel insert which was tack welded in. New wheel studs were pressed in, worked a treat (so far) Cost was abott £16 each half shaft. Regards John.

    Thanks for the reply, I have come up with Hispec Motor Sport as a company that seem to make larger disks for the triumph fitting, has anyone used them? Regards John.

    I am looking to put a set of four pot calipers on the front and I have the triumph calipers currently. Is there a company that manufactures a larger diameter disc thaht has triumph fittings, ie PCD and offset etc. Any ideas on the largest diameter that will fit in 13" minilites? Thanks John.
  23. John Gaines
    Thanks for the reply Matt. This is for a top wishbone conversion which I have not yet completed, but I am sure that a standard length bar will work. Regards, John.
