Moss sells a mild steel one. TT 1740X. Much better than the Phoenix I had before. Martin

Hi Nick, if the radius arms are going spare, just give a shout. Martin
-
Thanks Nick, that makes it difficult with the angle. Spitfire 1500 radius arms have an angle as well. Have some surplus ones, but they are angled about 85 - 86 degrees. Thought I could use some of them. And I cannot go to Stoneleigh this year 🤔 Martin
-
Measurement highly appreciated. From the picture it seems that the angle is only at the long rod. Martin
-
Hi Nick, bush housings in a GT6 are square to the rod. My late Spitfire 1500 has a slight angle. Length GT6 are 90mm and 250mm measured according to your labeling. Mine have a total lengh of appr 400mm on the car. As adjustable radius arms are either expensive or totally corroded, I try to make some from old Herald ones , cutting them and welding in a threaded tube. Martin
-
Hi, what are the length of the radius arms? Please the front and rear arm each measured separately w/o the threaded adjuster. Thanks Martin
-
should I live with that pattern? Cheers Martin
-
A series, Aldon yellow distributor has such a clamp. We just put one in the Mini of my son. Screw head was metric 10mm in our case. Martin

if you give google " D89SPT Bastuck " you will be directed to the correct page. Number D89SPT quite down on the page. or In their shop you first have to chose "rear axle" on the left side and then under the menue on top ("please make your choice) you can chose "rear axle / differential". Then everything pops up. Martin
-
Try Bastuck in Germany. Koni for the rear end at present 78 Euros each. Cheers Martin

bought a new Vitesse headlamp panel last week when in England. So decision taken to "upgrade" the Herald bonnet. Thanks for your hints and help Martin
-
So this should fit nicely: eBay item number:181726891691 Honda CIVIC/DEL SOL/INTEGRA DC 92-00 Radiator Size: Core Size:358H * 350W * 56T MM Overall Size:422H * 364W * 69T MM Inlet/Outlet:32/32 MM And is 3 - core! for 63 GBP Martin

Thanks

Hi, does someone have the dimensions of the Vitesse 2 ltr radiator? Cheers Martin
-
topic is that it seems to be a challenge to get a decent Vitesse bonnet and I do have a very good Herald one.
-
Hi, putting a Vitesse headlamp panel into a 1360 bonnet. Does it work? Someone done it before? Cheers Martin

Hi, Moss sells as well Spax dampers for the conversion kit with shortened length. Important if the car is lowered TT3611. Work well on my GT6 with a 1/2 inch plate to lower the rear. Martin
-
Hi, the contact is at the very very low end of the tooth, say the lower 25% are only "contracted". So consensus is that I will reduce shims and thus move pinion away from the CW. Martin
-
felt seal mounted in the correct direction? Martin
-
Handbrake not an issue with TÃœV in Germany :) No different regulation. The GT6 had at last TÃœV in October 170 daN at the front and 160 daN at the rear. The handbrake produced 120 daN. New old stock shoes at the rear much much better than the stuff currently sold. Martin
-
Hi, after being unhappy with the Tandem brake master, since yesterday I do have a new brake setup in the GT6 with 0.7 master (single line) and a brake servo. It works very well. It´s definitely an upgrade. Pedal effort reduced and a very good braking power with 1144 Mintex at the front and original Girling shoes at the rear. Martin

:) :)

Easy to understand how to make the copper shims. Magnets ordered. Solid spacer, yes I have a small lathe :) . Will search for some raw material in the waste bin of a mates locksmithery. Thanks Martin JB Weld? No, Gaffer tape, its easyer to dismantle again
-
Some pics. Wear pattern withs shims as is and a nice output flange, surely sealing well I may be the one in Stoneleigh looking for diffs to dismantle to get two proper ones together Martin
-
Can I replace the collapsable spacer by the solid one? Or are further changes necessary? Found shim steel in fleabay uk .So a reason to go to the UK beginning March. ;) Martin
