I might be wrong, but I think the early Herald indicator is different to the others. My understanding is that that if the sidelights are on; when you indicate the sidelight flashes on or off. This is because both sides of the bulb get 12v, same as an ignition warning light. I believe the bulb has two poles on the base, but only one filament. Earthing through the bonnet and then the hinges is problematical. If either function is used on its own, then the bulb earths through the other bulbs. Anyone got a working 948 who can confirm?

Thanks Wendy, that explains it. Its a double pole bulb! No earthing through the case.

Does anyone have any pictures of an early Hearld Front indicator unit please? I think it works by one wire to the bulb coming from the sidelight feed and one wire coming from the indicator feed. I am just a bit confused how the bulb does not earth through the casing to the bonnet. Jessica has these on her Coupe, and wants them wired up 🙃

If that is on idle, then great. You should see 45-50PSI at 2000RPM.

I don't need the whole assembly, just the strut tube. However, I'm happy to take it all if it is still assembled.

Anyone know what fluid to use? Used to be ATF-F, I was looking for the Carlube one pictured below. My local autofactors supplied a Dexron Type II - III fluid, is that ok?

A But usually at the time of supply discuss; do you want it back, would you like a replacement would you like cash.

"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual." — Dan McKay, Fargo, ND Please keep replies to this clean, but this made me laugh!

I can't find the photos, but Pete gave the gearbox the once over and we replaced the bellhousing with an aluminum single rail one from Moss. It is lighter to refit... 😅

I think my daughter Jessica has found the problem with her clutch...

Also, a bit tarty, but I bought some S/S bits from Chris Witor. The original dust shields resemble a colender after I cleaned them with a wire brush on an angle grinder.

Also Hilary cleaned the vinyl of the door trims, and I re-dyed the carpet parts, replaced the hardboard with new and new plastic backing to keep the damp out.

Roller bearing strut tops, Eibach springs from 'Shacktune' and Konis. Although I may well be upgrading to Shacktune Konis on the front of this car.

I bought some off of eBay. Did have some trouble finding the correct size. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163831832883
