If its a pinto it could be oil rings and still get good compression, when the pistons are out put a ring under the lip at the top of the bore and measure the gap and do the same at the bottom of the bore, if there is much difference get the bore measured it may need a rebore or you may be able to get oversize pistons.

Mine was a bit of hardboard fitted just inside the rim with cable ties Leaving the tyre exposed HTH jon

Dont think you can get the big tank in without removing some bodywork . Im not sure about the 30lt one (I may be shot down over this statement) jon

I used each end of one wiper blade. and sierra arms shortened and drilled. Each blade was held on with self tappers (wiper arms were hard to drill) HTH jon

The wiper motor shaft is tapered with a small keyway. Remove the arm from the motor and refit it at 180 deg and tighten the nut a bit tighter than normal to form a new keyway. HTH jon

We can meet at the layby on A19, east of the Holiday Inn at 10.10. Then Washington Services 10.30, then Beamish before 11.00. Driver and first passenger are free. jon

Sorry about this, the show is on on Sunday not Saturday as shown in the events. Weather not looking very good for Sunday jon

Hi Luke don't think so but there was one a few months ago that might have been the MG club jon

If anyone's interested we can meet up and go in together jon

Weather booked for Sunday. Meeting at entrance to County Hall Morpeth at 10.00am, same as last year We are taking a packed lunch because after Luke visited the cafe there was nowt left jon

Try and get to your local R/hood meeting, have a look at others peoples cars and ask them what they think jon

Morpeth's fine Lukes mad friend will be there, what time should we meet? jon

My 2b dash is s/steel covered with 1/2 inch foam and then vinyl. The dash is screwed to the car with self tappers and stainless steel washers, about 8ins apart and 1inch in from the sides. ( poss not the best but it does me, its been ok for 7years ) HTH jon

Belsay is 7miles west of Morpeth on the A696 I'll ask Steve to order good weather, anyone wishing to meet up and go in in convoy let us know jon

The outter cable is made from steel and plastic, if it gets hot, it acts as a concertina making the outer cable compresswith loss of inner cable movement. Cover with heat resisting matrial or move it from any heat sorce HTH jon

Must be inside before 10.30 But the weather forcast is not looking good jon

Classic / Vintage / Interesting Car Display Should we meet up and go in, in convoy ?? jon

I would take lots of photos, from as many angles as poss, and I would get a second opinion as to the cause, it might cost a few bob, but it may avoid anyone accusing you of not fitting it correctly, as there would be no proof after its repaired I may be shot down in flames but its "my opinion"! jon

Its all been said, Thanks Steve for a smashing day (we know who to see when we need a fine day. ) Margaret & John PS and thanks to Pam (I'm sure she had a hand in it too) see you all soon
