Gt6s

Genuine ones did not last 50 years. I was Mr B90. Fit an alternator

£50 Take a chance

Same fitment but USUALLY halogen

Have had a hunt. Only one very scabby bulb type. Must have fitted the halogen ones to the Toledo Sorry. Laurence

I just might have a pair, Halogen bulb type. New originally supplied c/o a local bus company. I did have plans years ago to fit them in a modified Toledo. Never happened. Will have a look for them. BTW in Northern Ireland so will need to be posted. Laurence

3.27 measures the same. Laurence

Nick I have just measured a Quaife Black line and A  3,63 measured all three at 31,535. mm Laurence  

Krap got me concerned now Nick !!!  I will measure my Blackline up later. I know the Quaife mates up straight into a 3.63 But will the Blackline ? Surely a bearing can be got to combo your unit to the 3.63 housing. I recall Quaife USED TO DO two versions maybe these do too. I have not started to mine yet. Will be done within the next 240 years tho. I need to live to 300 to finish off my current projects. Laurence

If It is not rubbing no problem. As said just bend the pipe a bit.   Laurence

As usual, in full agreement with Nick. You need the 330 lb 10.5 in length. MAKE CERTIAN THEY ARE 10.5. Some sellers will try to palm you off shorter ones. DO NOT BUY SHORTER. Laurence

Going to be really unhelpful here. I have one, IN NORTHERN IRELAND tho. Laurence

I disliked mine so much I cut it up and rewelded it. Shortened primaries 1&6 rearranged secondary's (One full pipe ran below chassis level) welded on the 3 to 1 collector. Now a one piece manifold. Not quite as horrid as it was. Laurence

All depends how loose they are If still in contact with both upper and lower platforms you are okay. Std lowered 330lb springs. If spring drops away from the top seat completely then they are illegal. Laurence

I apologise for trolling a new poster. But I do feel that in twelve years the original poster has this issue well sorted or could even have died. 

Wow A post dragged through time all the way from 2007.     Laurence

Correction. Power runs to the bulb. Then to the alternator. Not from the alternator. Laurence

Usually 5/16 UNC

Update Thanks to the bay of  much evil. Got me a pair of sandblasting gauntlets with mounting flanges also 10 screen protectors. A mate is going to cut me a piece of glass plate to suit. Then the plasma cutter will get brought out to cut some holes in the feed bin.

Saloon box.   Laurence

Inclination of the overdrive solenoid ? Laurence

I would suspect it is the same as on a Gt6 5/16 from tank 1/4 to carbs. Laurence

So much for my coal bunker blast cabinet plan. Looked at it today only to discover the arse and back are rotted out of it. Too long new. On the up side my brother in law has offered me an aluminium feed bin, not as big but it will work. Laurence

A tale for those of you down on Hammerite. Sandblasting my 5.5 0val hole steel wheels today. Okay will need to start at the beginning. 1991 when I got my original Gt6 she had 4 Wolfrace wheels and an oval hole 5 1/2 steel spare. Anyhooo I cleaned up the steeley wih a wire wheel and painted it with Hammerite white smooth. Forward to 1997 I acquired another 4 freshly sandblasted 5.5 steels and these I painted with silver wheel paint, my white spare I overpainted in silver too. Fast forward to today blasting these steel wheels it came to my original spare. Took the tyre off found it had a tube in, other 4 were tubeless and the beads on the said tyre were rusted onto the rim. I started off blasting the rust off the bead areas of the rim, VERY VERY EASY three passes of the blaster and the rim was down to clean steel. Started to blast the centre. Was at that a solid ten minutes and wheel still looks like a spotty dog. So anyone who tells you Hammerite does not stick to steel I can testify different. It welds itself to steel. Finish it off Friday. On the cabinet front I remembered today That I have a rather large galvanised coal bunker, no longer in use. Will look into converting that into a blasting cabinet Friday too It is EASILY big enough to use for blasting Spit Gt6 doors, boot lid, tailgate. even Herald /  Vitesse doors, boot lid. Or the like, even 5 wheels at a time.  Laurence

BJEASUS And I thought 20 odd quid for 1/2 cwt bag was dear.   Laurence

Looked some up on Gumtree. You are still talking IRO £1000. £1000 buys a hell of a lot of sandblasting medium. 50 bags or more. At motor factor price. It can be got cheaper.   Laurence
