Hi, does anyone have a spare 1500 pedal going ?

Thanks

MED very low "RAM" pipe. There is no interaction with the K & N filters. Problem is the price...

What paint type is it? Old style cellulose especially red colours can be quite soft, more modern paints are usually 'harder'.

You don't say what you have tried but I'd start with a solvent such as white spirit, not cellulose thinners if it's cellulose paint. After that car polishes which vary in abrasiveness, starting with something like Mer, then Autoglym, then Turtle, then paint resto...

This. BBS absolutely thrives when someone has a genuine Spridget problem to discuss! So much more response and involvement than on lengthy rants over British politics!

It still amazes me that this, now ancient, form of internet bulletin board persists. All thanks to Mike I think.

A couple of days ago someone in a shopping centre decorated the side of my red MGB GT by driving down the side of it, leaving a black rubber/plastic mark about a metre long.

You deserve a win-

Well having got the carb apart I thought I’d have a look inside !
The smaller hole doesn’t appear to go anywhere and the larger hole above actually seems to be the vent as far as I can make out.

Maybe changed as design developed ?

But what did surprise me was the lower say 20mm of the needle had a thinish layer of green verdigris sort of stuff on it which I cleaned off.
