Done I have a 1980 Dutton S1

. They do give a warning before they let go completely I.E. loads of vibration and even then it's not dangerous

What can happen is that on the sierra and similar cars is they pull apart when the centre prop bearing lets go.

Unfortunately it's what the MT75 gearbox comes with I know there's alternatives but they all cost more money

and because of the way the prop engages with the gearbox flange the prop cannot move out of alinement see photos

I have just found a source of these I had to get one for myself but there was a minimum order number so I have some spare, £20 including postage 2nd class royal mail UK only.

pm me if your interested.

I have a few of these if anyone's interested you can have them as they are for self assembly,

or I can make them up with tails to your preferred length and wire colour's.

Available colours are: white, red, grey, yellow, black, green, brown/black, green/red, black/yellow, green/black, blue/red.

see first photo for your wire colour positioning.

I'll be listing them on the bay @ £8.00 for as is or £12.00 with tails. including postage via royal mail 2nd class.

as a club discount I'll do them for £6.00 as is or £10.00 with tails.

the picture of the alternator is for reference only unfortunately I don't have any of those for sale.

please PM me with your order and I'll send my bank details for a bank transfer or my address and you can post me a cheque

cheers

I'm after having as little poking out from the bodywork as possible less to get knocked off and more sleek looking.

Hi all

has anyone any idea where to get flush fitting rear fog lights with adjustable lenses to accommodate the angle of the rear panel??

had a look around just cant seem to find any surely they must exist. SVA compliant of course.

also are led bulbs SVA compliant when fitted in standard light fittings, has anyone passed an SVA with them fitted?

thanks

Ivan

there is a section in the build video's on YouTube can't remember where exactly but in there somewhere worked for me HTH

Stuff should be banned. Just so that manufacturers have to make room and supply a spare.

it also keeps weight down and improves MPG figures, unless your VW and then you can do it with software!!

might have to get my local to install some of those at the bar!!

might pop in to Bristol pretend to be drunk and nick em for me car

As above but on a range rover more likely to be torx head unless it's an early one make sure you use the biggest one that will fit,

I've always put the bit in the screw and given it a good clout before trying to undo just ratles the rust lose. HTH

Hmm reg doesn't show on the MOT checker tried several manufacturers name's including triumph

Yes I've been looking at them bit expensive for a really good one could well be a possibility though.

Not going to Sweden now so might get a casting done this week see how that works out I've got a mate who is a metal recycler so materials cheep

where did you get the reversed impellor from ?

I actually used a slightly modified 2.0lt dohc 8v one I'm in the process of trying to cast some aluminium one's wont be for a couple of weeks as I have to go to Sweden for 10 days or so, work always gets in the way of fun!!

Watch this space!!

they are also available on the Bay for around £80 + postage!!!! I'm hoping to lower that cost considerably, as soon as I have any news I'll be sticking them in the for sale section , might be a while yet though.

finally got a reversed impellor and repeated the test have a look at the vid and I think you'll agree it does seem to work.

the only other modification I did was to remove as much of the web inside of the rear casing as I could see photo.

sorry now sold

Will they fit the 2b?

no that's what I have mines one of the last 2B's sold with the zetec engine.

I bought these from Richards lost garage find! thinking they would fit my car that was before I found out there are different super spec kit's!!

I paid £50 plus £8 postage would like to see some of it back so £58 ovvno including postage ,(normal posting restrictions apply i.e. highlands and island etc.)

I'll be putting them on fleabay at the weekend.

title should read covers at the end!!

Dont know if this will help but theres a piece on the build video's about fitting the hood I put them up on youtube a while ago,

cant seem to paste the link here??? but if you search YouTube for Ivan Sandford it's on video 15

good luck

Ivan

I've just returned from a 4 month stint in Toronto if I'd known I'd have popped round.

New pic's

no starter or alternator didn't come with them I'll have a look at the speedo tomorrow and let you know I'm pretty shore it's low mileage.

I have a sierra 2.0lt dohc engine for sale £100 collected. will be on the bay soon I'll ad a photo soon. came out of this car.

If it's not the cable then I would think it's the oil it's very common for people to just put ep90 oil in instead of mt75 oil, that is of course if it's an mt75 gearbox (should be). I would just change tho oil and see if that makes a difference.
