    Greybeard,

    I'm aware of Lumi-weld but have never used it as I have had better processes available. The gas welding leaves a softer weld deposit which is better for metal finishing. A problem with Lumi-weld is the deposit is significantly harder than aluminium and probably wouldn't take additional forming well.

    Indoor Sprite in more or less daily use.
    Outdoor Sprite is a long way off being a finished project. Not good for progress, with winter approaching although the last few days have been the best summer days of 2024!

  • Daniel20 September 2024

    I don't know for sure but did have this on the engine block on my Sprite. It is looking for a new home and I haven't gotten round to putting it on ebay. The pressure sensor is about 20lb or thereabouts.

    Has anyone seen how BadChad on youTube repairs pin holes using a Mig Welder and a coathanger as filler rod!

    Yep, must be getting fussy and tidy in me old age. Lol.

    Probably had that choke problem for at least a year and not realised what it was. Don't suppose the carb has ever been serviced before.

    Weather turned out very nice. Woke up to chilly, then very dark, started pelting down, thunderstorms with hail, then gradually dried out. At midday a bit of sun, then boom, full on summer ag...

    Hi,
    I might have a single std XPAG piston for you or do you already have one.

    I think you need some clips - BAU1460

    You can see them, courtesy of paul4H, fitted here:

    I have modified my headlight rings as they can be a real pain to get off. I have cut a clip sized notch in the rings and then rotate them slightly away from the clip. A mark on the rim ( I used a dab of yellow hammerite) lets me line them...

  • Colin Parkinson20 September 2024

    I am just in the process of fitting parts to the latest project car and am having issues with headlamp rims.

    I must be missing something here!

    All parts were new but bought ages ago, metal bowls and the only rims that were available. They clip on at the top of the bowl in 2 places but nothing at the bottom to hold them on! I know some cars with standard 7in units have the rims held o...

    Car is looking smart for you Anam. It's even all the same colour! 🀣

    Even got colour coded jacking point bungs!

    And yes, to the seal. Probably. I remembered from when I rebuilt my Β£5 scrap yard HIF that it had something in there other than just a standard O ring. But that was 20 years ago! But a choke fault seemed to match your symptoms. Glad it's fixed. Indian Summer motoring? ...

  • anamnesis20 September 2024

    I'm on the road again; no misfires and no bangs on the overrun. But with the price of the new manifold, I got no money, I got no place to go. πŸ˜€.

    But there's always a choice. 😁😁
