On the front studs you might need to grind a flat on the heads of the M12 studs you will see why when you come to do it. On the rear you "might" either have to remove hubs or cheat and drill a hole in each brake backplate. On my roto Gt6 I drilled said holes but on the Sixfire I did not need to. Laurence

Rack or steering coupling.

Not forgeting early Austin Metro before they went to metric tyres. Laurence

Get an axuiluary charging relay. It is made for this purpose, charges van battery as priority then charges auxiluary battery, used for caravans. Should be available from motor factors, auto electricians and caravan dealerships / repairers, will come with wiring diagram. Laurence

Gt6 imperial calipers use 1/4 in pad pins, the later metric calipers use 3/16 pad pins. Laurence

Thats not standard, that's a decapacitated waxstat. And not even done by my pennies method. Laurence

Simple fix, when horn toots and people look round just wave at them. Leave them wondering, who the feck is that ?

You will need to build a hybrid spring tho, a swing spring with roto main leaf, too much neg camber otherwise. Also if using rotoflex coupleings you will also need to remove the outer clamp brackets. And as far as I know you can use your Konis with the Bowler Jones Conversion. Though I do remember being wrong once before. Laurence

thebrookster wrote:If you are planning on selling the car, then yes Wheeler Dealers were right. The average punter looking for a cheapish first time classic will be caught by things like this. As has been said, watch for excessive seat wear, you'll easily notice it as you find yourself constantly tightening the tappets. First off I would not trust a word that moron Mike Brewer said. If you go to buy a classic car can you really trust that the unleaded conversion has actually been done ? On the other hand if seller says it has not been done you can take that to the bank. With valve seat recession you LOOSEN the tappets. Laurence

Never actually done one, but aparently you tap the new bush in on top of the old one pushing the old one down the colum and that is where you leave it. Laurence

Usually when a single DCOE is used on a Spit it is a 45. Ideal weber setup is twin 40's tho twin 45's have been done. Laurence

Do'nt mean to piss on anyones parade. But ! Single 40 DCOE Weber ??? Think a pair of HS4 SU's would be more effective than that, a Weber for a Webers sake I think. Twin HS4s have certainly a more direct induction setup. Laurence

Hope you are right Nick. Just ordered a set of saloon ones intended for Gt6 then I noticed he has kits listed for Gt6 Vitesse. ANYWAY, If they need machined so be it that's what I have the lathe for. Laurence

Was just wondering last night. Is there enough throttle spindle potruding at the end to cut a notch to drive a throttle pot ? If not they will be next to useless as they are, with the original big butterflies. Laurence

Now that will be interesting.

I removed and refitted the J type on my big T boxed Gt6 in situ, no issues. Laurence
