I've been using 1mm discs for some time, a quicker cut and greater accuracy. Like you, I was able to let in chassis repair sections that give an almost invisible repair... I get mine from Toolstation, £13 for a pack of 10.

I put Saab 900 seats in the estate. Bit of a faff to fit, but v comfortable.

G20 at my local festival of transport..

Please, please, please keep the Thread going...!

Yep, I've got the Moprod one as well. Also about 30 yrs old and still going strong! (thank heavens for Google, I was missing the instructions and had recently forgotten the sequence of forming a double flare...Internet was my friend)

Back in the day, I cut out apertures for side windows in a Mini van with these.......Blisters. The offending item is still in my bodywork tool drawer, unused since that job about 40 years ago.

Hope this helps.....someone has welded where they shouldn't have...

Bit far away in Eastbourne.... Would have to collect this evening though, as I'm away tomorrow.

I recall dismantling a strap type shaft to find that the O-ring (part 4 on the Canley diagram) was non existent and had let water work it's way in with subsequent corrosion and wear... Swapped out to splined Vitesse item when I fitted overdrive.

Classic Fiat 600 and 500 had transverse front leaf spring...

Used to be able to get those fused ones at Halfords....Don't know if they still do them.

Been there, done that.....Three times, the result of enthusiastic acceleration on 15" wires..... -
it's a bit like putting a petrol engine into a steam engine and then asking "Do you like my steam engine?" 1.13 mins in....Ugly thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=genH-wi5JmM Sorry, thread drift. Would always keep Triumph engines now but back in the day I fancied a Fiat twin-cam....

Over reading speedo maybe diff related. Maybe a higher ratio item fitted? (or would that under read...? (my brain hurts))

I wouldn't use 48 spoke wheels, I don't think they are strong enough. I had 60 spokes on my 15" wheels when I had my Midge. They replaced a used set of 48 spokes which felt a bit frail. I believe the 48 spokes were standard on 50's sports cars like the MGA etc.

I was given my ringbinder volume out of the blue by an old gentleman who saw my estate parked up near my workplace and dropped it in at the office. He said that my needs were now greater than his, as he had given up driving some years before...I gave him a contribution to a charity of his choice.

Group 5 in mine...

Alton Towers?.....

I used to keep several of those gaskets when I had the proper 1500 manifold in my Midge.....For ever blowing Eventually fitted a 1300 single pipe manifold and modified down pipe, problem solved. I have continued that set up in my 1500 engined Herald.

Check that you haven't got a damaged tyre... I had a bulge in an inner sidewall that gave this effect.
