I did the same as Bob on my Haynes Roadster, it looks great when covered with the rubber matting that I used for the rest of the floor, also added a heel rest. (Personal preference I think).

E Bay is an option for service parts plus water pump, timing and alternator belt etc.

Would love to come for the day or possibly both days to meet people, won't be camping however, Huntingdon is just 10 miles from ours.

Just looking for some info, does anyone out there insure their kit for the summer period, and who with? ( Summer used loosely!)

Sorted, as suspected/suggested a bad earth, had to go all the way to the bulb holder itself though, simply soldered in a new earth cable. Thanks for the help chaps.

The right hand headlight on my Haynes is brighter than the left, it's difficult to tell bur it seems just the dip beam, the headlamp bulbs are the same and I swopped them over to make sure it wasn't anything silly like a faulty bulb. The wiring loom/fuse box/relays are from the Sierra donor car.0

The fan controller kits as suggested by IanS are readily available on Ebay and most come with a wiring diagram which is pretty simple to install and wire up. Would like to see the pictures of the fan/radiator installation, may possibly be able to make further suggestions to help.

Like most things these days "GOOGLE" it you will find free PDF downloads that may well do the job.

Pretty much all the track rods I have come across are right hand thread (conventional) if there is any thread visible a visual check would confirm the thread direction.

Don't really understand why the readings are so different on the toe's, however I would suggest a setting of parallel to a small amount of toe in (toe in will help with steering stability) and front camber of 1 to 1.5 degrees negative, excessive toe out would cause inside edge tyre wear. You also have to consider that adjusting cambers will affect the ride height and vice versa and will also affect toe's so they must all be checked in conjunction.

If you want to keep it simple and cheap simply set up two bars of equal length on axle stands front and rear and string them with fishing line pulled tight at the hub centre height, centre them by measuring to the hub centres and measure to the front and rear of the wheel rim to determine the toe, doing it this way means the rear toe can be checked at the same time, hope this doesn't sound to complex it really is simple once you have done it.

My Haynes Roadster currently has 1.9" X 8" X 200lbs springs on the rear which are too soft, I am looking for a pair of coil overs 1.9" x 9" X 350lbs ( 8" long would be ok but looking where the spring platforms are 9" would be ideal.)

Never known 4 points to slip off, are the shoulder strap fixings at the recommended distance apart?

I am currently running the standard 28/32 Weber on my 1.6 Pinto, my question is will the 32/36 Weber fit my standard inlet manifold?
