  1. Hi Hogie, Yes i used a o/d Control box, details below,

    and yes as soon as the clutch is pressed it disengages o/d, I have two inhibitors switches so that I can't engage o/d in 1st - 2nd or rev, so no chance of o/d in reverse. 

    Here's a set on ebay with brkt https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224719844400?hash=item345258b430:g:ObIAAOSwlUhhnlsz

    and some info on the o/d controller https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr1001k/name/logic-switch-overdrive-all-types

  2. This is on my MK3 GT6 with a 2500 engine fitted, uprated J Type o/d, I used a Sparco Steering wheel with two buttons on, I use one for the horn and the other for o/d, If you fit o/d you should use the over drive inhibitor switches which disengage's o/d the moment you touch the clutch pedal, so you can never leave it on, I also made another brass contact ring to fit in the steering coloum as the photo shows, one contact for the horn the other for o/d, the steering wheel from Demon Tweeks, inhibitor switches from Rimmer's, This all  works great, o/d only on 3rd & 4thIMG_6133.thumb.jpg.7c95ad17d76e525efcd632deab2ba1fa.jpg1474863263_OverDriveRing.thumb.jpg.1bb3fd40fe6f66cad61be8753a5b8fd4.jpg1436505021_ScreenShot2021-12-07at16_21_15.png.06cf113a793efc6e2ce475a5101e706c.png1482969279_ScreenShot2021-12-07at16_29_19.png.c4344ea9ce6809747a21eebb5fdb51aa.png

  3. Just popped into my local Shell station for some VPower fuel, pop the gun in the tank started filling then noticed the price

    £1.61-9

    Blinking highway robbery, this is from Shell Ropley Hampshire ( just outside of Winchester )

  4. If your thinking of a Revington box , email Tim on,  tl_walker@tesco.net,  and tell him what you want and he will send you one, I think i got mine way back in January 2017 and it's worked great no problems at all, 

  5. When I sorted out my GT6 I added extra uprights to the front cross member to stiffen it ready for jacking, and on the rear I made jacking points under the beer can, these work very well, and of course a nice rubber pad on the jack plate

  6. Well after trying it every which way !  input at the top, output at the top, vertical or horizontal,  45 deg, it wont run full, if I start with it almost full a few mins on tick over and its half full, and there it stays ! so as Rob has said "nothing to worry about"

    thank you all for your views and advice

  7. I thought that with a pump that delivers fuel at this rate, it should keep the filter full

    Facet SILVER TOP Fast Road Solid State Cylindrical Pump

    Sealed, reliable solid state internals. 12 volt. Requires separate earth connection to pump body via fixing bolt.

    Less than 2 amp current drain.

    Will self prime up to 1 mtr lift.

    Footprint 140mm x 82mm x 85mm high (without unions).

    2 bolt fixing at 65mm centres.

    Removable, washable internal nylon filter.

    Weight 760gm.

    Operating temperature range -60 to +43 deg C.  

    Will pump from 5 psi to 6 psi. Flow rate 132 ltrs/hour (35 US gal/hr.) Union thread size 1/8" npt.

    There's no way the engine use's 132 ltrs an hour, I have also checked the filter on the sender unit,

    Rob am I just getting my knickers in a twist for no reason ?

     

  8. Should the fuel filter always be full to the brim when the engine is running ? I have noticed that mine sometimes has only 1/4" of fuel in the bottom, The fuel pump is new only a couple of weeks old along with the filter, Both were replaced when the old pump stopped working, for some reason the coil burnt out, and I noticed that the filter was only half full, a friend said that the pump was sucking air and over heated, the old filter was a glass unit that you can unscrew to clean out, so this time I opted for a plastic throw away unit, the tank is clean inside all fuel lines are new, and yes the filter is the correct way up, the pump runs at 5 psi to a regulator and down to 2.5 psi for the carbs, any idea's please
