  1. Is there a special tool to tighten the locking ring on the fuel tank?           Ray
  2. Hi,    Does anyone know where I can obtain the bolt for the centre of the rear leaf spring?? Tried all the usual suspects but it's not shown as a seperate item                   Ray[face=Times][/face]

    overdrive

    I have an o/d box with o/d fitted but there is a noise when the throttle is "balanced".that is to say it's quiet under load and quiet on over-run but when doing neither or cruising the noise or rumble is apparent.Perhaps it would be cheaper to rebuild the box?           Ray

  7. I have a spitfire that has stood for 15 years and naturally I wish to drain and change the oil without starting it up Any ideas on procedure?                                        Ray
  8. Hi all, Anyone know what diam the clutch master cyl is on a 68 herald or spitfire .Need to order new rubbers Thanks         Ray Fry
  9. I checked the arm and pivot before assembly all seemingly OK and its a diaphram spring clutch ,not new but lots of meat on it ,it worked fine before .I only took off about 1/8th off the flange             Ray
  10. Hi all,        I've just swapped a 3 rail 3 synchro box for a 3 rail all synchro box from a mk4 using the original clutch slave cyl from the old box .I needed to grind a flat on the side of the cylinder to make it fit .there appears to be an extra web on the new box.I bled the system OK but the clutch dragged so much I could not engage any gear with engine running I had to reduce the depth of the flange on the slave cylinder carrier in order to move the cyl a little further forward . Now I can get the gears but the pedal is right on the floor to stop crunching.I there some mis-match between boxes and slave cylinders??                                     Ray
