Be very careful of exchange Magneton starters i had one from the people who took over from the  supplier to Caterham Magnetron starter.

It had the wrong number of teeth on the pinion But also turned the Wrong way,  as these where made for front wheel drive VAG cars.

Hi all, My 7 was supplied as kit late 1987,

I wanted webbers but was told not available as all webber production was reverted to supplying replacements for all Fiesta BB carbs which were crap.

This was early 1988 so may have been 1987 also, so bought Dellorto"s.👈

At about 45,000 miles carbs started to leak onto battery🙈  It was the all metal needle valves leaking and overfilling float chambers.

For needle valves use the Viton seal type.

I would have though 45 perfect for 1700 bdr, i use 48s on 2ltr bdg.

Think i loose a bit of top end over webbers but smoother drive low end.

The  problem with trunnions apart from servicing is that they BREAK where the flanges meet the wishbones, so check very carefully at his point for cracks at side of weld.

Hi, Jw gave me this tip a gazillion years ago you will need Mole Grips for this. Gently squeese together from side to side to take out all the slake.

This company is in the us.

Hi All,

A nice young lady drove into the back of my car, and it is a total loss.

So i urgently need something to get around in.

Either a bangor about 1k  or a mid size  estate/hatchback about 5k.

The higher car goes back 7.April so need to get sorted very soon.

Please have a look in your garage to see if there is something suitable.

I am near Guildford so anything around this area would be good.

Do not really want to have to vist a dealer.

Thanks Richard.

Could some kind person please tell me the thread on the presure line in rear caliper.
