No screw. Hmm. Looks welded. Other threads say its brazed on.
Guess its staying and I'll blast and paint it in situ.
Thx

Brake bleed Screws
Hi, The bleed screws that came out of my 67 S1 are standard tapered. Is there any advantage replacing with the ones with the ball bearing. I have never seen or used them before. Do they act as a kind of one way valve? I was going to opt for the Goodridge speed bleeders but they are not cheap. Thx Ed...

Bolting up Metalastic Bushes. Dry Shafts or what?
Hi, Quick question Rubber bushes fitted and ready to go on the top and bottom A-Arm shafts. Preference? 1. Leave the shafts dry 2. Small amount of anti-sieze (copperslip) to stop shafts rusting (but bushes could spin on the shaft) 3. Clear coat (I have POR15 clear coat spray) to stop rusting. Any th...

Removing steering Rack
Hi, Ideally at some point I want to remove the picture frame and bonnet frame and also polish the ally steering housing in the engine bay. Could anyone please let me know how to remove the steering shaft from the UJ splines in the footwell and rack and re-install in the same position? Do you mark th...

Re: Radiator fan didn’t come on
Many thanks for this thread.
Great tip to take the relay "+" feed from the fan supply.
I was going to run the "+" feed from the coil
btw cheapest prices for the Lucas relays (one advantage of having a Commando). Andover Norton supply them for Mk3's.

Re: Sense check on timing marks for electronic ignition
Thanks. I'll pull the oil filler cap and check for that too. I did pull the distributor so good to check its not 180 out.

Sense check on timing marks for electronic ignition
Hi, Just a quick sense check on fitting electronic ignition (Luminition) to my '67 4.2 engine: Crank timing marks aligned for No. 6 cylinder (nearest radiator) and rotor arm aimed at front left of the car (when standing facing the engine). Checking for spark at the marks for 10 degrees btdc static t...

Re: Lucas 11ACR Rebuild parts
Thanks all for the information. Really helpful and covers all of the options. My 11ACR has the early W shaped pulley so not sure if its a straight swap on the newer alternators. I guess there is also some fabrication required to fit the later alternator lugs to the early bracket. Sounds like I defin...

Re: Lucas 11ACR Rebuild parts
Many thanks, Thought I was just going to whip off the alternator to degrease the block... Original V reliable always a tough choice. I'll probably get it repaired and live with it till it lets me down. Thanks for the tip on the Ford version, if you have any info on brackets and fitting S1 4.1 pulley...

Lucas 11ACR Rebuild parts
Hi, 67 S1 Thought I would remove the alternator but the threaded terminal and nut is completely corroded to the attaching wire. I had a quick google but can only see brushes advertised. Any suppliers for whatever the threaded part is attached to? Looks like its toast. Thx Eddie https://i.postimg.cc/...

Re: S1 Front Brake Caliper strip and plating
Must be a way! Seems a waste to plate all the parts on the suspension and then use caliper paint on the the part most easily seen outside the car through the wheels. Anyone tried brush on zinc plating? How do the firms do it when they rebuild and re sleeve them? guess I had better ask them https://w...
