KA master cylinders have been used too.

A shorter v belt may solve your problem? Are you sure it’s the alternator or could it be wiring related?

I saw a nice green 2B this evening in Sandy, does it belong to anyone on here?

Hi John, I had replied to your message, glad you have found Andy though. Technically the stick on ones are usually illegal as they are supposed to be vertical, I knew someone who was done by a ‘keen’ law enforcer but it must be very rare.

I doubt if anyone apart from Richard Stuart will know but a good welder can weld it ok.

The standard set up with the manifold you have is from the pcv to a connection on the inlet manifold which keeps it nice and simple, works very well. Catch tanks are usually needed when a different carb set up is used. There is a good explanation on Dave Andrews old web site, look at water and oil control. http://www.dvandrews.co.uk/ Ps forget about connecting to the cam cover.

As a thought, I wonder if your coil is a 9v? one which uses a ballast resistor in the normal set up and the electronic one needs a 12v. This could cause the coil to overheat and break down after a while.

Throw it away! It’s not needed.

The Sierra arb is much too stiff for any RH, it prevents the suspension working correctly. Going to tie bars/ compression improves the handling no end.

There are 2 sizes of rear brakes, 8” and 9” with different auto adjusting mechanisms. The QH ones you’re looking at are the 9” but are yours 8”? The early Haynes Sierra manual shows both types.

Whenever I’ve tried adjusting float levels I’ve not noticed any difference in engine running.

The good news Al is that it’s two more than last year! Sorry I couldn’t come this year, I had a prior engagement.

Do a search on here there will be a few results, like this one

As no one has replied to this yet I expect there may be little experience of using poly. The Oem ones seem to last about 30 years, I’m sure that a bit of flex helps in the ever changing geometry of a semi trailing arm arrangement too.

If you give your location there may be someone local who could help?
