Re: Intermittent rev counter
On my S2 the tach (in “Yank-speak”) gets its its tick signal from an ignition control wire running through a coil on the tach. My car won’t run if this wire’s disconnected, so if your car is running fine while this happens, I’m pretty sure the fault must be internal to the tach. That’s my guess.

Re: Rear light cluster
Got a nice compliment on my “Marek” LED brake lights yesterday. Led a cruise, and the guy at the back of the line said he could see my brake lights from 1/4 mile away. Bright daylight, too! The brake LEDs integrated into the reversing lenses are especially bright. Here we are stopped at a waypoint. ...

Re: Stromberg jet height
Related to this topic, can anyone confirm a source for the spring clip circled in Simons photo. I want to be able to replace the rubber o rings on the adjuster without having to buy kits from Burlen. Apologies Simon for using your photo, I hope OK. https://i.postimg.cc/W1QBzV8N/D873-ED5-A-047-B-467...

You dont need to send your carb to Joe. The adjustable jet is a screw-in replacement for the fixed jet. Swaps out and sets up in just a few hours. I can vouch for the quality and performance of the mod. Really woke up my S2. Note: I just looked and it seems Joe may be “between websites”. Joecurto.co...

Re: Boot Pops Open
Mine does that occasionally. It’s usually because the T handle on the opening cable wasn’t pushed fully into its socket from the last time I operated it. I’ve got in the habit of pushing the T-handle Firmly back in after I’ve opened the boot.

Re: New one wire alternator... removing unused wires
A future owner may want them. Otherwise, the car will be fine without them.

Re: Wind Deflectors
I have this one on my S2. It came from the UK, from a gent on this forum - can’t recall his name, though. Has a nice LED stop light built in. I changed the mounting to connect directly to the folding top, so it would likely work on your car if you did the same. Probably from Dave Kerr. I have one o...

Re: Stromberg Temperature Compensators
I took the compensators out of the equation by placing a "blanking" gasket under them. No air flow.
Addressed my high-idle-when-hot problem to a large extent. (Rest of the problem was the sticky bushing at the firewall end of the throttle shaft.)

Re: adhesive advice for diaphragms that hold headlights
Hello Bob,
Is the Sikaflex product you used the 221 version that most recommend for E Type Bonnet assembly?

I don't recall, I can only say with certainty that what I am using now seems to be working so far.
