Come to think of it the Ka did a diagonal split. One front and the opposite rear on each circuit which would explain 4 ports on the master cylinder. It is up to you if you do this rather than the more traditional front / rear split.

Yes 2 front for front brakes, length does not matter as whilst braking there is little fluid flow so presures the same at all ports. The singleton goes to rear brakes. This way a fault leaves you with either both front brakes or (worse) with both rear brakes.

I have 20.6 bore from a 2.0 pinto 83 sierra.

If they are SU carbs do not forget oil in the dashpots. Cutting out is a symptom of lack of oil.

Dont Know about a beach towel on the display but one on the camp site will be nice⛺

Looking at that plan block 59 is going to be crowded. 22 clubs in one block

The wire to earth the guage will be for the light to read the guage at night.

Have you tried Burton Power? https://www.burtonpower.com they cover most things for old fords, square end sounds like the normal ford cable.

Hi Darrell, About 10 to 10:30. We could meet at the stretton fox pub which is at junction 10 of the M56 if you are interested. Ian

I am thinking that my next trip will be Sunday 1st of May, returning Monday 2nd May. Camp over at Stoneleigh😀 Warrington A49 to Tarporley Tarporley A51 to Nantwich to Woore to just short of Stone. North of Stone A34 to south of Stone then A51 again. A51 Rugeley to Lichfield, A51 through Lichfield to Bassetts Pole then A446 to Coleshill then Stone bridge. A452 to Balsall Common to Kenilworth to crossing the A46. Berricote Road to Stoneleigh Road. Kit car show. If anyone wants to join me let me know

I am still working on it.

Needs to be done with the engine running so that the alternator is producing electricity.

Sensor wire to the adaptor indicating max temp certainly is good, that leaves damaged sensor.

If removing the tape did not help check the earth wire from the adaptor is still connected both ends.

Before I did anything else I would check the actual voltage at the battery terminals. There are so many possible points of high resistance that could cause this of which the alternator earth is only one. If the voltage is good at the battery then the problem is in the wiring to the voltmeter. (including its earth) If the voltage is low at the battery then the charging circuit is suspect. If charging is at fault then measure voltage from alternator body to Battery -ve which should be below 100mV if not check voltage alternator body to engine block. Be methodical in running voltage checks before fitting random wires.

I am sorry to hear this news. My condolences to Sylvia. We had some interesting discussions at Stoneliegh.

All S7 kits were sold long before SVA/IVA. Most would have been complete and registered before SVA/IVA. Registration in those days (before late 97) was a bit hit and miss depending on your local registration authority and most did not understand the rules and were only interested in it not being a ringer so would be easily convinced that it was the first kit of that type. Allocation of VIN for amateur has been officially from the DVLA from the set up of the DVLA but this is not checked. So most probably it was the first build by the original builder. Bask in the glory🙂

PTFE is a good electrical insulator so you have probably found the problem. The question is why it ever worked, I am guessing that the original PTFE did not fully cover the thread leaving a bit to just about provide an earth.

I am in Warrington so a few miles north of you. We recently had a run out round winter hill near north of Bolton. I expect that we will do more run outs but am looking for a route for the next one. PM me if you want to talk. Ian

I also use firefox and its is there

Could your alternator not be repaired? I have had good repairs from my local auto electrician, MC alternators in warrington, tel 01925 415275. This is an old fashoned 1 man operation so no web site but good service.

Dakar kit car might not be your ideal but appears to be a 4WD kit that is available. Being land rover based might be a bit heavy for you. http://www.dakar4x4.me.uk/
