Well done on getting it on the road.

Next Wednesday 25th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL. Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. Everyone welcome, see you there.

I agree, from my time on the committee I know how difficult it can be to get members more active. What I find had to believe is that members aren't coming forward to take FREE MONEY FROM CLUB FUNDS to put towards local events. It will only takes a small amount of organising to set up a run out or meet up for half a dozen members and you could get your lunch or entry fee paid for. What are people waiting for?

Next Wednesday 28th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL. Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat. Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. Everyone welcome, see you there.

This is the wiring for the GBS plug and play loom. GBS_harness 051516.pdf

Is the carbon brush in the centre of the distributor actually touching the rotor arm?

Last V5 issued December last year, either he's sold it or he's moved house.

Good turnout tonight, thanks to everyone who came along. Special thanks to those who bump started my car after it failed to start even with jump leads. Got home ok but looks like the battery is shot because it wouldn't restart when I got back.

It's close enough. You'll probably need to adjust the position slightly to get the exhaust to miss the steering shaft.

Next Wednesday 30th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

This is the panels sheet supplied with the 2B kit.

I'm bumping this thread in case anyone else needs a cheap alternator or wants to keep a spare on the shelf. Still available at a bargain price. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/rtx-alternator-401680812

Can you add Jackie and me please.

Hope to see you soon Mark. I will start organising some runs out in April so maybe I'll see you then.

Always used the 90 degree twist method on Pinto cambelts. The more modern stuff usually has pointers on a spring loaded tensioner that have to be lined up.

Should be correct then. The real test would be whether you can get the locking tool back in but personally I wouldn't worry about a bit of slack between the cams when it's not running. Any slack soon disappears once the belt is moving.

When you fitted the belt, did you lock the cams and slacken the cam pulleys before you tensioned the belt?

Right, I'm going to have to cancel the meal due to lack of interest. The monthly meet will still go ahead for anyone who wants to come along, 7PM onwards.

Depends on how much needs painting. I had the 4 arches and nosecone on my 2B wrapped in 3M vinyl for around £200 including the material. It was probably 7 years ago and still looks pretty good. Ok it can't be touched in like paint but I think it's a good option on fibreglass which does flex and crack.

You don't need to prove it's fitted, if it's required for the test either it'll pass or fail when they do the emissions test. The IVA manual gives the exact emissions requirements depending on the age of the engine and how you plan of registering the car.

It's nearly that time again, the annual West Mids post Christmas meal. The date is Wednesday 29th January 2025. Same format as previous years and at our usual monthly venue The Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL https://maps.app.goo.gl/P7mBK68FBauW2q6C6 Be aware that the roads nearby can be busy due to all the pointless work for HS2 so make travel plans accordingly. To keep the table bills simple, most people normally opt for the carvery but other options are available: https://www.tobycarvery.co.uk/restaurants/midlands/stonebridgeislandmeriden/carverymenu#/ Meet up from 7PM onwards and aiming to eat around 7-30. I like to give the pub a rough headcount in a week or so and then give them a more exact number a few days before the event so if interested parties can pencil it in their diary and let me know as soon as possible please. Everyone welcome (including ladies and kids) and new members (or those thinking of joining) are especially welcome. ATTENDING Richard and Jackie

It'll be the last Wednesday of January, I'll post details nearer the time.

Basically fit belt, tension, the tighten cam pulleys.
