  1. The bar/pin obviously runs through the centre, so you need to make sure you don,t hit that. The best way is to remove the wishbone and do it off the car, otherwise you are going to leave swarf inside the part you are trying to protect.

  2. As Big Jim say above. Do not just tighten the nuts on the stud. This will distort the mountings and stop the top wishbone from moving freely. If you are going to Stoneleigh this weekend you can have a look at my car, and others to see what we mean.

  3. Do you mean the tube that runs just in front of the nose cone and down either side. If so isn't that all part of the structural strength of the front end. On my 3A this bar runs down either side of the nose cone and then goes up and into the front cross brace where it is fully welded in. On the 3A, you need as much strength in this area as you can get. This is just my opinion of course.

  4. I,ve had my 3A for 12 years and never had to replace the clutch cable. Its the shorter type that runs between the exhaust manifold. Its got a piece of heat shield material covering the part of the cable near the hot pipes and has never been a problem. The problem, as you suggest, may not be with the cable but with the clutch itself.
