LOL - thought about that (well - but not the trying to make a profit LOL , I doth my cap) A chap at Moss(shipley) told me - they occasionally have people buying tools and then returning them a couple of days later saying 'they not the right tool' ;o) Cheers
-
Cheers AndyF - that's excellent news (just read it and replied) - cheers

On me tod. thou my neighbor occasional helps - but he's cracking on a bit - and I don't want to break him. I've lifted 4 pots before using an iron bar and rope (when younger) - but being older, weaker and more menopausal - I feel safer with something more secure. LOL Cheers

Just wondering if somebody fancied earning some beer tokens - lending me an engine hoist - Yorkshire area Just thought it worth a try before I part with real money , being a yorkshire man Cheers Jon

cheers gent, The 'crack' is just the light shining on the well-polished metal - thank god LOL I washed the gear box last night and found the two ends - they must have come off years ago - buried in a mountain of oil and muck at the bottom of the bell housing. I'm hoping that once its all back together - the arm stays in place (again) - held by the bearing and servo - but its a swine that I'll only know once its back together . I'd thought about welding (Ive a mate round the corner whose dab hand) - but then thought - what if if welding jiggers it worse. Might have to just cough up :-/ cheers Jon

mmmm, just found the right phrase to google it - yikes ! Rimmers quoting £73 for a secondhand one (no new ones) and non in uk on ebay. Does anyone have a cheap fix or suggestion ? Cheers Jon

Evening, I'm wanting to swap my GT6 mechanical fan to electric ,, Ive got most of the bits and some of the know how - but I can't figure out where to buy / what I need to measure the water temperature so as to trigger the relay. (?? thermo resistor ??) Also instead of pulling the air through the radiator, can I not push it through ?? (ie fan in front) - I can't for the life of me figure out the thermodyanic difference :o) Jon

cheers Nick, time to put my feet up - wiggle my toes, tootle merry tunes and arrange a re-MOT. Thanks Jon
-
right - despite the weathers best attempts to keep me in doors - job done ! Quick question - should there be any play at all in the 12-6oclock direction ? (I followed your advice and that of the spitfire manual) and I'm getting a mi-nute knocking - is that ok?
-
Cheers guys, Much appreciated. The MOT chap was of the older bloke type (40+) and said he'd had a GT6 before,,,, thing was that he spotted loads of things that their (Halfords) younger MOT chap hadn't spotted last year,,,,, and conversely - he didn't spot some of the things that their younger chap had spotted last year (which I'm not gonna write on here till it passes - in case he's a member lol). Car's only done 600 mile in the year - so rust/ wear and tear is no issue. Good point about wobbling 12-6 oclock - their was I being a numbty wiggling it 3-9 oclock and muttering - 'but its just the steering' - I'll check today and confirm. Also my mates got back to me with the Spitty Hynes instructions - remove the brake calliper and tighten till you feel a slight resistance - then back of a flat of two - sounds good. 90 degrees -does sound a little too much. I seem to remember with my old student Chevette (in the 80/90's) - something about tighten it up to x lbs, then back of using a set of feeler blades - but can't find the damn manual - think its so old and abused its like hamster bedding by now - festering around in my mums loft. Right back to it before the rain starts AGAIN . Cheers again guys.
