I only use Payen gaskets and never had a problem, there are cheaper places to buy than Rimmers.

Cheers for the info.

Just wonder how many litres of juice should fit in a Spitty tank, 1979 1500 if it makes any difference as I filled up early from the gauge reading empty and it was full on 27 litres?

Could be an interesting conversion... :-/ Check the amount and spacing of the teeth and the length of the throw, I remember someone mentioning that the Honda SM wouldn't work.

How long is a piece of string, depend if you are using new, used, reconned , OE or cheap copy parts. budget anywhere between £100 to £10k. As for devaluing the car it depends on what the buyer wants doesn't want.

Does a Dolomite 1500 Fuel pump fit a 1500 FWD?
partsaver replied to Patrick Hatton's topic in Engine
A Dolomite pump will fit and work, plenty if used ones about. -
I was wondering the same myself as it does look wrong and if I put the roof up with the windows up the flap sits outside which means you then can't get the doors open.

Well at least I think that's what the plastic shield were for but I couldn't work out how they fitted and seeing your pics they might not be for the spit, I will get some pics of the plastic bits this week although the Ebay ones look a good bet.
-
Thanks for the pics. The ones I have are plastic but that at leadst gives me an idea or where they mount. cheers for the link as well.

Yes ferny the large black plastic splash guards, I won't be taking the car out in bad weather so getting the coil and ignition wet shouldn't be a problem.
-
I thought that would be the answer. Cheers chap.

Hi Folks, can someone please post some pics of the under bonnet plastic splash guards on a Spit 1500 so I can figure out where they attach. The online manuals are not much help Cheers

I have just rebuilt the hubs on my Spit and because didn't fit a water guard because it seems no one stocks them.
