Hi Peter, Having done as you have (removed the vertical section), I liberally used WD-40 around the glass, letting it soak in and then gently using a small flat headed screw driver worked the chrome away from the glass to start it moving and then pulled the chrome away slowly using my hands. I worke...

And here is the combustion chamber volume being measured for my engine. Very interesting!

Hi Richard,
Maybe we need a version that runs along the lines of ‘...brake system is filled with silicone brake fluid....’

I’ll get my coat...

Can’t help...but enjoying the read!

Ah, OK - thanks Angus!

Evening all, Just starting to fit the engine looms and think I am possibly making a mistake with one of the grommets. In the picture below, you can see the ‘alternator harness’ grommet seems far too loose around the harness once fitted. I can fit a finger along side it. Also in the photo is the only...

Thanks Robbie and Bob, most helpful! I’ll get the S3 rubber seals and see how the perform. I’ll definitely use plenty of masking tape and report back as to how I get on and if anything useful for us all to learn. On cleaning all the parts this evening, I’m pretty sure there has been no damage to my ...

Hi John, Many thanks for the reply. I think with the rack installed, the ‘splaying’ of the spindles all then lines up/fits correctly. The rack is also a U shape in profile, so really quite strong and I think unlikely to have been bent previously without a visible mark....but that is of course a gues...

Hi Steve,
No, sadly not
That link refers to a series 1 car again and so a different design the the series 2.
Any series 2 restorers out there please?
Many thanks,
Rich

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. I may well be wrong here, but unlike the series 1 ( in Chris Vine’s blog, which I always check first!) in cross-section the series 2 rack appears to be a more substantial u shape of steel and therefore it doesn’t seem like a viable option to bend it in order to tempor...

Evening everyone, I am coming to refitting my wiper rack here is a photo showing how the spindles are spayed outwards, making me pause before trying to go further. I believe the the spindles are peened into place? I don’t particularly like the idea of pushing a spindle out to then have to peen it ba...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone from me too!
Likewise, with a car in bits ( just having ‘fun’ with the heater and vac pipes behind the dash ) expect plenty of questions from me in 2020!

Hi Andy,
Next week! Can’t bloody wait!!
Already staring to lay out the new wiring harness and labelling etc and comparing to the old...
For me the real, actual fun, is about to start!

Very interesting technique Andy, for those of us working alone in cold workshops! I am sure your method will be very useful for me when the time comes. Page bookmarked

Hi Steve,
Yes, I have one. As you can see the water pipe is a bit corroded - as you can see from the photo.



pm me if you are interested.

Cheers,
Rich

Yes of course Stu - this is quite a different design, so I am quite confident that it will fit :-)

Yes please Darren. pm on its way

Love it - so well done!
