  3. Hi Doug, Thanks for letting me know Johnv, I've found this photo on the web but I'll try to take a better one of the connector on my ear defender pit crew style headset and send it to you. http://www.advrider.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=24206&stc=1&d=1057768214 All the best Richard
  4. Hi Johnv I'm afraid I have no idea about the pin configuration for the Starcom. Hi Doug That sounds great thankyou All the best Richard Edited by - skeetsy on 12 May 2012 20:25:40
  5. Hi Does anyone have a helmet headset for an Autocom system that I could borrow for a trip to Rome between the 9th and the 18th of June? All the best Richard
  6. Ahh I see I'll have to investigate.... All the best Richard
  7. Would you be better off with Canon prime lenses then? Not that I have any, but I do have a 20D and I wouldn't have thought of using Nikon lenses with it... I have toyed with the idea of using some older M42 screw mounted lenses as you can get adapter plates to convert them to EF mount quite easily. All the best Richard
  8. Hi Zetec, I recently bought a Laser heavy duty pop riveter and rivenut setting tool from Machine Mart. It was this one but it wasn't cheap! It works well though, and I needed it in a hurry All the best Richard
  9. Hi, I've just seen these and thought they might suit someone on Blatchat.... You'll have to be quick mind you as they only have about 25 minutes to run.... All the best Richard Edited by - skeetsy on 7 May 2012 09:00:49
  10. Hi David there's one here almost 4 days left to run and currently sat at £72.00 All the best Richard
  11. Hi Paul, Can I put a dibs on these for Daz0004 - I know he's been after a set of 8" rears. I'll give him a call now and get him to send you a blatmail All the best Richard
  12. Hi John, I'll go and have a look in the garage to see if I can help. Speak to you later. All the best Richard
  13. Hi Following my incident on Saturday morning I am now after a replacement outer rim for my rear Superlite Ultralight wheel. It's a 2.5" outer with 18 bolt holes if anyone has a stock of spares lying around, or knows where I can get one.... A bit of a long shot maybe, but you never know All the best Richard
  14. Hmmm, a couple of thoughts.... My alternator light comes on occasionally and did so quite often when I got the car, initially I thought it was down to a dodgy connection within the loom at one of the connector blocks which is strapped to the diagonal brace below the inlet manifold (mine is a 2006 K series) as when I wiggled the block the light would often go out. However, since having purchased an Oxford Oximiser 900 and used it religiously the light rarely comes on now, only when I've been using the battery at bit for lights, so I'm thinking that perhaps the battery is not in great shape, or the alternator is charging only just enough. In terms of heat lagging for the exhaust primaries I was considering this, but having read various threads on Blatchat I decided against it - apparently the K series doesn't cope very well with the additional heat soak from the exhaust pipes which would normally just radiate away but is trapped by the lagging. All the best Richard
  15. Hi You were heading west on the A31 just approaching the St Leonards roundabout. It was about 2:10pm. All the best Richard
  16. On my way home tonight I saw a gaggle of Ferraris (sadly not in convoy) on the A31 and the A348 heading away from Poole towards Ringwood. I may not have the exact details given that they were going the other way but roughly the cars were as follows:- Red 308 or 328 GTS Red 308 or 328 GTS Yellow 355 Red 355 Red 308 or 328 GTB Red 360 Convertible Black 360

    40 dell auto

    Hi, I hope you don't mind me saying, but I wasn't sure what you were selling when reading the title of your post (I wondered if it was something to do with computers ) You may get more interest if you change the title to read:- "A pair of Twin 40 DHLA Dellorto Carburettors" All the best Richard
  18. Hi I'm now having a few doubts since I see the comments in the thread regarding 3 hoses for the heater kit..... I think I would actually need 4 hoses, i.e. the 2 strange elbow hoses which connect to the heater and two straight lengths of hose. Does the kit assume that you have already bought the other 5 hose kit to make it work? I think I've got four of the hoses from Caterham already, so can a special four hose heater kit be obtained? All the best Richard
  19. Hi Depending upon the cost I'd be interested in a set of heater hoses in blue All the best Richard

    Twin Cam engine

    I agree, I would now put money on it being a Donkervoort.... http://www.coolhunting.com/tech/assets/images/080128donkervoort.jpg

    Twin Cam engine

    Well the cylinder head is legit 😬 and although I've never studied the alloy bodied pre-litigation Westies, if that's what they look like I can see why Caterham got a bit peeved.... All the best Richard

    Oil

    Quoting James_Russell: (the oil viscocity increases as it warms up). Is that correct? I had always assumed that the viscosity decreased with a rise in temperature, which is why the oil pressure in my K Series is good at the time of initial start up and not so good when the engine is hot (I should say that I have the crummy electric oil pressure gauge still fitted ☹️) All the best Richard
  23. Hi When I fitted my second hand four branch race exhaust it didn't come with any instructions, but the method I used was as follows:- Mask the side panel with copious amounts of masking tape Insert primary 1 and bolt up as tightly as possible without putting stress on the side skin and then I used a large repair washer to help draw a line around the primary on the masking tape back to the existing hole (edge of washer runs around the pipe and a pencil is in the hole at the centre of the washer) Remove primary and cut the side panel to the line drawn on the masking tape. Re-insert primary and repeat the process until the pipe is fully fitted to the head and there is a gap around the pipe the width of the repair washer (from hole to edge, which in my case was about 15mm) Then repeat the process with each of the other primaries in turn until all four are fitted with a nice even gap around them. Cutting the side skin neatly is tricky but I found that a hand nibbler was pretty good... If you can see my signature strip (with the photo of my car) then click on the link and you will see a before and after photo. All the best Richard
