    What an excellent colour choice John - looks great. Something to get on with now. 🙂

    Great to see the progress you've made John. Are you using wooden drive couplings? 😉 Roger

    I've found a reference that suggests them being used on the 1975/76 2500 TC. Roger

    From a couple of Ebay ads in Germany and France its looks like a number of manufacturers used these - Volvo, Austin, Triumph, etc. See link below as an example : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/SU-Carb.....2:g:HcoAAOSw44BYLxJh Roger

    We had a similar problem with a 1937 Railton at the Shuttleworth Collection (a cork clutch running in oil). I know that the wrong oil was used and when replaced with another oil it worked just fine. I'm at Shuttleworth again on Thursday so will ask what oil was used. Roger

    Thanks for that Casper - seems I might as well stay with my existing dizzy then. Roger

    Its very early days yet with only 100 miles since the rebuild. I'll give a few more miles and report back Mark. Roger

    Nothing as far as I can tell Mark but I had heard that the 1500 dizzy was better suited. Roger

    The head has been mildy ported and is running a 10:1 compression ratio. The camshaft is a fast road one - 26/62/62/26 with a 4 into 2 into 1 stainless manifold and a pair of 1 1/4" SUs. Roger

    I've noticed a couple of comments in the past about changing the distributor on an uprated 1200 engine and the potential improvements by using a distributor from a 1500 but haven't seen any definitive comments after this has been done. Can anyone give me the benefit of their experience please. Thanks - Roger

    Thanks for the reply Pete - I had sort of got round to thinking that it may be the seal although the caps are new. (Fluid level was at the correct point). I'll check the seal tomorrow. Roger
