    First MOT Question

    I took my tin top in for it's first MOT a couple of days before the end of August and the expiry date shows as 31st August so I would think you should be OK taking it early.
  2. Just bought myself a ticket - I'm hoping I've got the car sorted by then, otherwise it's a very long walk
  3. I had Gaz units on my 2B, supplied by GBS but still available from Kit Spares. Having just looked on their website they list a set of Gaz shocks for the Sub K - might be worth a chat to them to see what advice they can give you on swapping over, what brackets to fit where etc. Link to Sub K coil-overs - https://kitspares.co.uk/collections/suspension/products/sub-k-shock-absorber-set
  4. The brackets are usually an option when you buy the coil-overs, otherwise there are plenty of places selling them (search on eBay) but make sure you get the right size to match the coil-overs.
  5. Those are the brackets that go into the bottom ends of the roll bar on the 2B but I don't know if there are any suitable chassis tubes on the Sub K to fit them in. The bottom end of the coil overs would fit onto the sierra arms with brackets something like :-
  6. Sorry, didn't read the title properly did I ! My brain ignored the Sub K bit. Rewinding then ............... you would need to make a top mount for the coil-overs and then the bottom ends could be fitted as per a 2B. Someone on here may well have more info. on doing this but I would have thought the chassis would be up to it with a suitable bracket.
  7. Hi Thomas, are you sure it's a 2B ? I thought all the 2Bs had coil-overs as standard. They were attached, at the top, to the bottom ends of the roll bar with the other end bolted onto the rear swing arm in the middle of where the original Sierra spring fitted. Of course it all depends on the fellow who built it originally. The attached picture shows the "normal" set up. Hope this helps, Steve 2B_rear.pdf
  8. I know I'm repeating myself but ......................... Welcome to you all, I'm sure you'll find something useful within the club. Ask those questions and we'll help if we can. Hopefully see you at some of the shows or meets. Steve
  9. You'll find it on the right hand side of the type 9 gearbox as well, right about where the gear lever is on the rear extension casing. Steve
  10. My opinion is that electric would probably be easiest. VDO used to do a gauge and matching sender for the pinto which had 2 connections on the sender. One connection to the pressure gauge and the other one to the original dashboard oil warning light. I think they still do it - have a search on the web for VDO gauges and senders. Steve
  11. Hi Jim, Just looking at the reflection of your pump's ground wire in the video - it looks like it's going to the top of the rubber mount, not actually to ground ???? Difficult to tell properly from the video but could this be your problem ?
  12. That pump should do the job no problem but I would really recommend a filter between it and the tank. As Ian says these pumps really don't like any dirt. Good luck, Steve
  13. I've just sent the form off, still got to get the car back together though ! Steve

    Seat

    Hi Phil, Some of the Robin Hoods (and other kits) need pretty narrow seats so best to say what they're going in, or what width you need. I found this out the hard way !! Steve
  15. Just had a quick look at it and I'm impressed - great job. I'll have proper read through in a bit (when I've had my tea !)
