    I Smell Petrol

    I've had the same problem with our attached garage, the smell went after about a day, but our floor is sealed and epoxy painted so any spillages won't sink into the floor if they are got up quickly. One other thing I found was that the fire detectors would go off in the utility if I ran the car for any time in the garage
  2. I used Car Builder Solutions edge trim number TRMSBU as it's self adhesive and follows a tight curve. I also gave up with the readily available rear view mirrors and fitted a genuine Ford one - no problems with vibration from that one!
  3. Are these the bushes on the rear arms?
  4. Shame! I would have been over for them if they were vented! Rob
  5. Do you know if these are for solid or vented discs?
  6. Can't see the images! All I get is adverts for stannah stair lifts, is someone trying to tell me something!!
  7. This may help if you need to do anything more to your carb http://www.classicfordmag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/classic-ford-weber-dgv-rebuild-instructions.pdf
  8. Check the column universal joints first as one of mine showed up as a notchiness and was worn. I had my rack stripped, checked and reset by Jay Gee over at Bilston 01902 404258 - didn't charge that much. He also said if I got him the quick rack parts he would fit them at the same time but he was concerned that the steering would be too heavy at parking speeds as no power steering and my tyres are quite wide at 205/40 x 17 so I never did it but sometimes wish I had!
  9. Original Camber - NS cambered in 10 mm, OS cambered out 5 mm. If they measured to the centre of the balljoint (drag link) then there would effectively be different length wishbones as there is 15mm difference between the two?
  10. Glad you are sorted. What was the castor angle did they set it to?

    Mk1 S7

    They are there, here's one: item 291846620180
  12. I polybushed mine using bushes from RallyDesign as my originals were worn out and soft.. it tightened up the rear suspension a treat.

    Stainless Robin

    Greg, my car suffered with the same list of faults yours has including the rubbishy bit of bent angle to support the rear coilovers and the rollcage mount. It's probably better for you to come over and see what's been done and you can take photos if you want. I've pm'd you a phone number Rob

    Stainless Robin

    Hi Greg, I went through exactly what you are going to do! I live in Aldridge in the West Midlands and you are welcome to come over and measure and talk. Rob
  15. I found a chap who did stainless weld repairs on excavators but also had small enough gear to weld repair my monocoque 3A. He was the only person locally who was interested in the work so if you've got someone like that near you they may help out. I had to fabricate the reinforcing plates and he came round to the house to do the job.
  16. As above,sounds like a dead cell
  17. I'm pretty sure that the car builder solutions catalogue shows the layout of a cooling system with an expansion and catch tank but I can't get to my copy
  18. My pressurised expansion tank vents to a catch tank. If any water expands out of it it gets sucked back in as the water cools when engine is switched off. The expansion tank vent pipe goes down to the bottom of the catch tank
  19. I've got a 3A and haven't got anything like the first 2 photos fitted on the car but I think the orate hats were for the indicator mounting. The bar is like IanS says and was fitted to mine but I removed it, cut a bit of the sides away and mounted a rectangular box section bar in its place but further back. That allowed my seats to go further back and let my boot enclosure panels to be secured to it

    Rewire

    I just carry a spare relay (all my relays are the same). Never had one fail but if it did then a quick swap is all it takes, quicker than changing a sierra switch and smaller to put in the tool kit! If the main ignition relay fails then a small bit of hard wiring would get the car going again
  21. Enjoyed that! Think I've spotted the parts you are going to use! Look forward to the next video.

    Led Bulbs

    The rear bulbs only draw about an amp, it's the headlights that draw the most and will benefit from the latest technology
