Just clearing away the tumbleweed on this topic..... We currently have one set of results being submitted for 2023 Any more please?

Graham - you have a message regarding this.

Agreed, no washers under the mains cap bolts. I just went and checked the half built 1500 on the stand in the shed.

Excellent. Thanks Sam.

That's perfect - thanks Tim, and thanks very much Wendy for going to the trouble to copy those pages; it's much appreciated.

Has anyone got a wiring diagram for a J type overdrive?, specifically the wiring at the rear end where the inset gearlever knob switch is? I've looked in the Haynes manual but can't find it there? Thanks.

Sorted now.

Thanks Colin - I'll be in contact.

I am looking for a basic, period, car radio that just has knobs for tuning and volume, and therefore does not need to have a "standby" live 12v feed connected all the time to save station settings. It must have the FM frequency though, as I want to use it with an iPod transmitter as well as listen to live FM radio. It does not matter what it looks like as it will be concealed. Thanks for looking, Mike

I buy quite a few bits in Halfords and nearly always use them for consumables, and wondered how easy it is to get a trade card when I'm not exactly "in the trade". Can I use my "status" as a Club Triumph "official" do you think? How have others approached this and found an acceptable to Halfords "occupation"?

This might be complete nonsense, but in the foggy depths of my brain lurks the thought that a late Morris Minor van plate will fit ok, and that I used one in an early Mk3 Spitfire. I might be wrong of course, but worth checking with someone who knows for sure. I also think that it is the same plate as used in the early BT Marina vans, as the one given to me was a mechanic who worked in a BT garage workshop.

I have a spare J Type O/D gearbox that was running for quite a while in my Spitfire some years ago. It was working fine but after after a bit of a general rebuild of the whole car it ended up with a newer box out of another car I'd bought and has been sitting under my bench ever since then, wrapped and greased/oiled. It all looks good and ready to go, but I wanted to get some opinions on how much up and down (and side to side as well I suppose) is normal. I don't remember it being a problem when it was being used, but would like an opinion on what amount of play is normal. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Well done Darren and Wendy; that is one superb looking car. Very nice indeed.
