Hi Alan

Thanks for your reply, I bought vacuum hose to do bike carb set up and was just going to use servo fitting a original non return valve, I was just seeing if anyone had one lying about as I was wary of cutting fittings from mine

Cheers

Harry

Hi Im after a pinto brake servo pipe if anyone has one lying about

Cheers

what switches have you got fitted tony because there are different ones from sierras, one is -ve earth on certain pins and different on others I have some good diagrams for ford stalks if you need them, also LED bulb in ign light savage switch was not enough to excite alternator, I had to put lamp under bonnet between  alternator and lamp

Hi Mate

I know Alan toon very well and he is very knowledgeable and helped me a lot ( and still does lol ) i'm in Sunderland if you want to message me  and see if I can help

Harry

Hi Alan

Where did you get the big head studs from

Hi Guys

After a bit advice on methods of fixing cycle wings, previous ones were pop riveted to supports but i want to move away from that with new wings, I have sikaflex but was after different methods to fix new wings on and how strong the fixings are

Cheers in advance

Harry

thanks guys, electric pump on order now

I have a 2.0L pinto fitted with a new OE mechanical fuel pump but I cannot get the plastic in line fuel filter fitted between the pump and the carb to retain any petrol. If car stands for more than a week the petrol evaporates and it takes an eternity of pouring fuel down carb chokes to fire engine up several times to pull fuel through, even then only spurts of fuel from fuel pump can be seen entering filter, is there any way to bleed fuel system

I used these taken from forums to successfully wire sierra column switches to mini wiper motor

where is your switch fitted? you may have to move it to get it to come on at right time ie NG on cooler part of system leaving temp to go right up

Has anyone fitted the propshaft catch plates from Danst eng. ? if so have you any pics of how they are attached?

To all my friends and their families in the NE RHOCAR group, stay safe, Fit and well, I hope to see you later in the year

Harry

And to all RHOCAR members around the country.

Bit of a longshot …. but are the grease nipples a standard size thread

Hi Alan 

Hopefully I’ll see you all on weds at the church mouse, all being well, I may have to rely on sarah getting me there    

Stay safe

Harry

Hi Alan

All the best to you and your family, I’ll not make the adhoc meeting this month and possibly not the church mouse meeting either as I’m back in hospital again since New Year’s Day, but hope to be up and about in Feb. In the kit. 
Take care and pass my best wishes on the members that turn up. 
Harry

See you there guys, 

Harry

Hi Elliot a couple of pics of my set up as above & runs spot on

Hi Elliot

I used to have a hole in my old bonnet ( my car has a 2.1 pinto with a twin choke webber carb) and I had a K & N filter fitted which was ok, but when I got my new bonnet with louvre vents pressed in it meant I would have had to cut hole where Louvres were for filter so I manufactured a mild steel airbox to fit on carb, using original filter mounting holes I then fed a ducted hose from this down into nosecone, and fitted a performance cone filter to this in nose cone, result better running and cosmetic finish

Ill be there in the kit ( with me roof on ), hopefully drier and warmer than last time we were out Alan lol

In reply Nelmo,

Yes I could stretch to a new one thanks, but having already splashed out on a new set of ETB gauges & senders etc which are basically in my opinion not up to job I thought I would try this 'vintage' piece of kit to see if it was any better having been manufactured in a decent period & not banged together

…… but thanks for your helpful comment

I have a Smiths 4cyl negative earth tacho I want to wire into my car but unsure of what connections go where, I have searched several sites and all say 4 wires to tacho but there is no spade for earthing casing ….. is my diagram correct? any help would be much appreciated

I was going to connect wire from -ve side of coil to No 2 on pic and No1 on pic to -ve terminal on coil then connect No 3 to permanent +ve supply
