No, its part of the assembly. If you are having a recon box done then acquire an OD box and have that rebuilt. The O/D units are normally long lasting.

Yes but not that impressed with it. For the Stag engine I built one that bolts to the sides rather than the endplate.

I know a friend who had a Herald bonnet blasted. Afterwards it was so rippled all it was good for was scrap. DA and or paintstripper.

If you start putting too much power through the drivetain you will have to consider upgrading, trasmission, brakes, suspension. If staying standard, keep the power around the 150bhp

Chris Witor sells the banjo bolt in stainless. I know he does reconditioned manifolds for the saloons. He may be able to help you out by getting your GT6 one done if all else fails.

A good old style monkey wrench may well work. or weld a nut onto the sheared bolt. The heat helps free it up.

Personally the only acceptable conversions are a Triumph straight 6 2.5 PI (plus abit of work will get around a Stag 3 litre power) or a Rover V8 (did I really say that? :-/)
-
Probably find it's rusted in place. Shear it, then try to remove it when the housing is off. New bolt and maybe a helicoil? :-/

Keep an eye on eBay. they do appear there S/H.

13/60, small bearing 1300 rev'er. Put a Spitfire MkIII cam in and it's a luv'ly little engine. 1500 Torque monster slugger (does not like reving, but will pull....) Whats the final drive ratio in the Standard? Spitfire MkIII is 4.11 Spitfire 1500 is 3.63 The 1500 will not like rev'ing long and often ask anyone who has had one in a Herald with standard transmission. Really needs an oil cooler, an overdrive and/or a low ratio final drive.

I can see side 'shrouds' attached to the bonnet but do they seal against the sides of the radiator? :-/

I think it brought down the bhp on an already asphyxiated US spec engine.

Yes :) I've seen them advertised somewhere, maybe Vehicle Wiring Products or some similar automotive electrical supplier. Looks like a tube with two small lugs to engage the ring. Also used on electric guitars so as not to damage the wood.

Shot blasting should show if they are useable or not. If they are heavily corroded then they may be scrap. What car (year and wheel size) do you need. Someone should have some lying around.
