These chaps might be useful if nobody has a spare matrix kicking about.

I think the heater you are after is from an original series 2 landrover.

Hi,

Can I put a dibs on the primaries and collector (items 13 & 14 from your list) for Daz00004 please?

He's been looking for a while so I'll contact him and get him to drop you a blatmail.

All the best

Hi,

If Finmac doesn't want the Momo then I'll take it please

Can you let me know what the postage would be?

Hi Richard ,

Many thanks for the exhaust

I couldn't resist offering it up to my long branch manifold and having a listen to it before I cut it up 😬 and oh my word! when you fit a 4" crossflow silencer to a 1.8K Series noisy doesn't even begin to cover it

I'll have to take it for a quick spin when it stops raining just to get the full effect

All the best

Richard

Hi Andy,

I can act as courier if you like

I've just repaired a leaking heater matrix in my 2006 K series Roadsport, it's not difficult to do.

I bought a new one of these

As the old plastic one had deformed with the heat and the actual matrix was fine. there are a pair of O Ring seals behind the take off plate.

I hope this is helpful.

All the best

From my apprentice days (a long time ago now) I was told that if you wanted to solder steel to steel (or indeed to anything) then you needed to use an appropriate flux, a hard solder (commonly known as silver solder) and a flame.

the reason being that you cannot get the steel hot enough with an iron for the chemical reaction to take place between the solder and the metal (it's this that forms the bond) and if you tried to use a soft solder (like standard multi core electrical solder) then if the steel was hot enough the solder would boil away, or if the solder was the right temperature it wouldn't stick to the steel because the steel was too cold.

Nothing to do with me but this may suit someone in the club

Hi Steve,

I'm no expert but 195g is a lot of weight to add to a wheel.

Generally the accepted normal practice seems to be to stop and rotate the tyre through 180° if you get such a significant out of balance.

This thread reads a lot like your earlier post so maybe it's a Toyota thing....

I've never seen weights distributed like the ones in your photos.

The nose is still available!

Hi Simon,

YHM re the nose.

Nothing to do with me, but since it won't fit my car I thought I'd share it with the community

here

Apparently available in Ireland as well

 

http://cars.donedeal.co.uk/vintagecars-for-sale/caterham-superlite-r/5249687

That is very suspicious!

And it's quite a bit more expensive in Ireland too....

All the best

Richard

Hi all,

Nothing to do with me but I saw this and thought it was pretty cheap.....

I wonder why?

Assuming it's all in order then I guess it would be a bit of a bargain for someone

All the best

Richard

And as it happens a set has just turned up on Ebay!

Are these the same as the ones you have for sale?

All the best

Richard

That rather depends on where you buy one.

I just purchased a 52mm throttle body from the local scrappy for a friend and I paid £19.70p for it (granted I had to take it off the car myself) but a bit of a bargain I suppose

In terms of your throttle bodies I assume they are the original VHPD throttle bodies and the last set I was watching on Ebay went for around £250 as I recall.

All the best

Richard

Superlite Wheels have pretty much wound up their business.

I tried (without success) to get a set of centre caps from them 2 years ago....

Richard

Excellent!

Many thanks Richard, I'll take it please.

I'l be up to Ipswich in the next few weeks so will make arrangements to pick it then.

All the best

I'll have this please

I'll send you a blatmail later on.

Updated to add if anyone has an old silencer with the side exit tail pipe lying around that isn't damaged and they want rid, then I would be interested for the right price....

All the best

Richard

That's my back-up option, but if possible I'd like to use a standard tail pipe as it will just look "right" if you know what I mean....

Incidentally my car is a K Series so any passenger side exhaust will do

All the best

Richard

Ok so this is a bit of a long shot, but I'm after the exit pipe from a standard exhaust silencer, so if anyone has an exhaust that has been damaged (with the exit pipe still serviceable) then I'd be very grateful for it.

My plan is to modify an R1 carbon wrapped can to suit my 7, but the first thing I need is an appropriate exit pipe and hanger bracket, hence this post

Edited to add, it's the side exit exhaust that I'm after.

All the best

Richard

Hi folks,

Nothing to do with me but there is the above currently available on E-bay here

Looks like it could be a good buy for anyone wanting to dip their toe into the world of aero blatting

All the best
