You need a dry sump. Like mine. 😜

That Nimbus product is really neat, I like that.

Could be Throttle Position Sensor - TPS - and its not picking up those small light throttle inputs. It would be worth taking off and seeing if the spindle is clean and is free to turn. Also look at resetting the TPS using the 7 full pedal deflections with the ignition on.

Can caliper paint be applied in-situ with masking of the disc/pads? I'd be half tempted to this to the family barge, but not enough to want to remove the caliper, break the hydraulics and rebleed a modern tintop.

Would anyone be interested in buying my drivers side side impact bar that I didn’t refit after my rebuild? It’s got some gravel rash & I’ve touched up with POR15 a couple of areas of flaking powder coat. This is for an imperial, Arch built car - mine is a 96 chassis with a through chassis A frame mount as shown in the photos, not the later slightly under slung A frame mounting position. £75ono, located Greater Manchester/East Lancs. Pick up or meet up preferred. Thanks Tom

He made it up on the spot just like 87% of statistics…Glad I’m considered rich owning a house with a drive. What about the 100% of people that don’t have a fuel station on their drive? Are they considered poor? In which case I’m rich and poor. I’m confused. 😕

Don’t bin them, they’re not making original K series parts anymore. I’m not building an engine or likely to fit new pistons unless I have a failure so not for me, but someone would be. Can a single piston & rod be bought from anywhere to make a set?

SZZ NOVA 😜

I have a little play in the gearstick on my 1996 type 9 box. I don't think I've ever given it a second thought or even noticed it - but now I know I want to change it!

That's the bottom line - its been used in a couple of winters, and now shows the after effects. Its hopefully a case of it looking worse than it is (wishbone aside). Rather than griping and talking about warranties, T&C etc, taking it off the road, buying a POR15 starter kit https://www.frost.co.uk/blk-por15-starter-kit/ and getting cracking on cleaning it up would be time & energy well spent.

That's been my philosophy for years, especially since I rebuilt the 7. They are just not designed with any sort of corrosion protection in mind.

I think you'd have to do a full strip down of the fuel system to find each O ring. Anything in the in tank pump apart from the gasket?

Are there O rings on the pump & fuel filter connections? If you do an order for the others let me know please 👍

And as a pair https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305009825578?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nbUfGDNkSn2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=M8Y4GNg3Tzy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Are you thinking for injectors and fuel rail? I changed all my fuel rubber pipe to R12 (I think) when I rebuilt the car, but admit I didn’t think about the O rings.
