i ordered a diff for a 13/60 herald the flanges dont match the driveshaft flanges ive removed the flanges of my old diff and they have a larger splined shaft therfore i cannot swop them over, looks like im taking the diff back out and returning it i also pressed new bushes into it which was a task in itself also time is tight as the house has sold and two and a half weeks away from a move booger

my 13/60 has oil leak timeing cover oil seal, after takeing it apart it looks like the pulley has done the damage to the oil seal there is a bit on it which is rough to the touch and if i emery cloth it away i dont think a new oil seal would seal it, and the timeing chain tensioner has two slots worn in it by the chain so i guess thats had it, is there anywhere i can get a replacement crankshaft pulley for a reasonable price its a spitfire engine the po has put in it FD endinginHE cheers billy

hi the hood bag ive had for years and fitted perfect has now decided to shrink somewhat, i can just manage to fit all the poppers but its tight, can you remove the padding that is inside which when removed might give the extra it is needing has anyone tried this opened one up to see whats inside and if removed would make it easy on my gentle fingers cheers
