  1. Jamie, I have a few hundred photos and want to build a website, blog or photo bucket however with work, family, fostering amd more work and don't forget even more work I don't get enough time in the garage don't worry about building a useful site. Maybe when the car is finished I'll have time. I have posted the photos when hoodies request information. Where's our IT genius - can we have an extension to this forum to include a off the shelf page that we only have to enter out name, build site name and add photos with comments? Mark
  2. Matt, That's the problem have a brandy and lemsip cured.. have a happy birthday. mark

    New Dash

    Really smart - how do you intend to fit it, without having visable screw heads which would wreck you hard work?

    Rad Mod

    I have been looking at a few remote header tanks Burtons do some nice shiny versions a bit pricey but looks the business.
  5. I think Gary is most probably right with that mileage. However it could be a number of things have you or somebody got access to a compressor it might be worthwhile doing a pressure test with a old spark plug and a welded air union. (you can use a electronic tyre compressor with the same results, but I have never made the union to fit) Remove the valve cover make sure the valves are in the closed position i.e compression stroke. Use the air fitting in the spark plug hole and add compressed air (carefully and slowly. Now listen for a loud hissing from one of the following: 1. Crank case 2. Intake manifold 3. Exhaust pipe 4. External cylinder head/block interface 5. Header/expasion tank. Wherever the hissing is coming from will tell you where you are losing the compression. Hope this helps. Regards Mark

    I agree the stand up one will get more air flow therefore increasing cooling efficiency. Is that metal or carbon down the sides? Regards Mark

  9. Matt, You can have rivets every 25 mm your choice you will most probably cover the back during the IVA. It will not affect the IVA. Regards Mark

    Mechanix Gloves

    I use CAT mechanic gloves from Screwfix £16 does the job. Wife handbrake was stuck on last week and I used them with all the frost and snow, nose was frozen hands OK. Mark
  14. Matt, Yes or even better use clamps to hold against the chassis and sides, measure to ensure everything is equal between left and right then start drilling. Use clekcos or skin pins first then rivets. Regards Mark
  15. Matthew, John's covered the main point "DO NOT be tempted to rivet the bottom of the side to the underside of the panel!!!" I didi and had to remove the rivets and re-drill not in the build manual!!!! It easier than it looks get somebody to help. Regards Mark
