Alex Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Yup they worked really well,the stretch from Goradano to lands end they were an absolute godsend....if only youd remembered to put the bungs in the floor ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedmonkey Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 the valeo ones come with adaptors (I couldn't find valeo in 11" - the Taxi is 14" )in the box -so do some bosh ones I had a box full of adapters as I never throw stuff out these are for "hook" arms keep the plastic adapter from your old ones take the hook adapter off these ones and fit yours straight on - I think ours are H1 fittings?

shedmonkey Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 not sure I have a spare in a bag will go look- I used it as it was modern and had a nice spring loaded bulkhead fitting -but any cable will do that you can crimp or screw you own ferule to -lots of people on here seem to be using push bike brake cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 My local Motex does VR1 for £20.50 per gallon. I've bought one this morning for the oil change. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice new head unit too. I dont usually listen to the stereo in my Triumphs. But I think the constant boom of the exhaust might put me to sleep so now I can break it up with some Led Zepplin If I can get my Spice Girls collection back off Radders I'll bring it along.

CRAJ Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The drawing is of SUs on a short manifold so is a little different from HS6 on a long manifold in that the cable pulls on a bracket further towards the rear carb as in the photo I have just taken out on the drive.Hope they help Doug.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJP Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 damn - been out in the Stag this afternoon for a final shakedown, got home, reversed into the garage, pulled down the roller door and knocked off a front rubber overrider - grrrrr, so its out with the evo stick and masking tape. It'll probably drop off on the RBRR, or even on the way to the Plough, still it'll spur me on to replace the other tatty one as well! :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32valves Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Replacement axle is in and brakes bled this afternoon. New VC went on yesterday and I put a fresh bead of sealant around the top of the windscreen. Spare electric pump is fitted with the correct connectors and ready to go in. Might leave it at that as it's only a 5 minute job to swap it out and the one on the car hasn't given any more trouble. Now it's on to the rest of the ordinary servicing and checks that I haven't already done while fixing other things.Road test tonight to check that the axle is OK (fingers-crossed !) and headlamp aim correct.Spares and tools on the list I sent to Rob are already in the boot. Last thing will be a quick wash, Rainex the windows and fit the stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
