Re: Ideas for making the curve at the end of the gutter?
Have a look at "Japhands make it Kustom"on you tube. I have been realy suprised at how this guy explains things simply, shows how to make useful tooling/machinery out of the junk we have lying around and best methods to achieve what we want to do. :) https://youtu.be/Myhwb1LmMqE?si=sfUEf8v...

Re: Carb Float Needle Valve
Has the little mesh filter been checked for debri at carb fuel supply.
Also give the distributor caps points a clean and double check that all leads are in fully.
My lead from coil was in but not fully engaged, this was gibing me a bit of misfiring.
Just adding to Maxstu's list..

Re: Rear suspension wishbones: a cautionary tale
In Feb 22 I had an advisory off my mot to replace the rubbers on my drivers side wishbone.
Grabbed it to try and loosen and my thumb went through the side of it

Goes to show things aren't what they seem.

Re: Brake bed-in?
Correct me if I am wrong, but iirc there are 2 bleed nipples on each of the front brakes. Did you bleed all 4 ?

Re: Coolant leak
I too have a small leak and often top up the reserve and check the tank. When topping up the main tank there are always bubbles in it. To remove the air I use a straw with a strong copper wire shape like the letter J in it. Cover the top end of straw with thumb (not to let air escape) insert in bott...

Re: What should I do with these hubcaps?
I had 4 in slightly better condition.
Took an upholstery hammer to the inside while resting cap on hard rubber mat,buffed them up and was surprised by the outcome.
Right is how they looked, Left, just like in Blue Peter, the one I prepared earlier.

Re: Rear Brake Adjusters
Is it the fact that the plate with the bolts on is coming off with the drum?
Does look odd, ( correct me if I'm wrong) but the nut has been removed so both can come out together ?

Re: Rear Brake Adjusters
Iirc the adjuster arm pulls the cog up inside the drum, (down plate side) to tighten brakes. Therefore the cog will have to be pushed up to release from the hole in the dust plate. I have used a large zip tie from inside the arm out around the pipe and back through the hole, the locking mechanism ke...
