Sounds painful mate, but you're lucky you didn't shove it up any further. You could have burnt a brain cell or two.

Just got in from day out, making most of the sunshine. I'll keep in touch and arrange a time best for you next week of whenever. If the head is in good nick I will have it. Cheers Dave.

Hi Craig, Very interested. i'm just looking to swap the old leaded head for an unleaded one and use my existing Kent cam etc. I could pop over any evening next week and have a look if that is okay with you.

Is the head injection or not. I'm looking to replace the leaded head on my 2.1 webber carbed lump.

How much do you want for the 2.0 unleaded head?

I,ve never seen one in the last 10 - 11 years that i've been visiting the kit car shows but that doesn't mean that one doesn't exist somewhere. I've never seen Rocking horse poo either, but some people swear its real.

I know this topic has been covered before, but I thought this may be helpful to others. I have a little amount of play in the steering column and have decided to do the mod using the pressed steel housed bearing as below. I found the bearing on e-E-bay for £5.90 inc postage which I think is a good price. SBPFL205 - SLFL25 is the part number. I simply entered "pressed steel bearing housing" in the search and got loads of results with lots of options.

Drumming up support is the best way, names on paper, face book etc. Is the land of any archaeological interest? This could be a delaying tactic if nothing else while you recruit more troops. Whatever happened to Swampy!

Okay, thanks for looking and getting back to me. I don't think its quite what i'm after. Good luck with the sale!

You need wheels with a greater off set. ie the wheel hub is deeper in the rim itself when viewed from the outside if you see what i mean.

Hello mate, do you know if the cylinder head is unleaded or not and is it an injection head?

Have you tried getting in with roof on, doors on and crash helmet on too. No, well I have, but I won't be trying it again. Luckily I was still on the drive and nobody was around to see. I usually just have the roof on if its raining and leave the doors in the garage. I.ve been up and down the m1 like this with no indication of the top trying to blow away. I do leave 2 of the fasteners at the back near the spare wheel undone, this lets the air/pressure release from inside.

I had the new gauge I fitted a few years ago reading the wrong way. This was a simple matter of swapping the wires round at the sender end. hope its that simple for you.

I think you should use steel tubing instead of the plastic stuff!

Look mate, this sound like a dodgey motor. There are plenty of genuine correctly registered legal kits out there. Take the advice and leave well alone.

Looking forward to the meet. The road works at the new traffic island near the Red Lion are causing some tail backs at peak times but should be okay in the evening.
