Trump says 'a specific threat' saw US withdraw its bombers from RAF Fairford after 'foiled terror plot'

Must have been significant. Iran? Who else?

Yep. Iranian drone attack warning.

Dunno about football, fucking war is coming ho...

Thanks Willy and Malc for the info, they are definitely produced by ARP as their name is on each bolt, nut etc. and there's a fair few on this car.
Good to hear they are the correct socket to use and will hopefully avoid ordering anything incorrect.

I think more is being made of this by the press than is actually the case. The B52s left a while ago and the B1s have only been doing training sorties to keep current for a quite a while now. They have been there for several months now so the crews are probably glad to go home, so if they are not doing bombing missions there is little point in keeping them there. Also the two U2 spyplanes are stil...

US removes all its bombers from RAF Fairford.

Some only arrived at the base very recently.

The decision was a **military** one not a political one.

Something's seriously amiss, -- wouldn't you say?

Tim--ARP and others use normal 12 point (double hex) sockets etc. so to answer your question ,Yes that socket set would be fine--it has a full range from 3/8" through to 15/16". Some sets have some sizes that match metric sizes missing like 11/16'(17mm) and 13/16"(21) so yeah go for it--

And- the bolt on the end of that engine steady is an ARP bolt so yeah your manifold studs/nuts are mos...

My Sprite was owned by a guy who worked at Rolls Royce Aero Engines in Derby, I think he called them "bi-hex" as in 2 x hex ie 12 point, the f**king things were everywhere.

But you don't have ARP bolts, they look like nuts and studs.

The same tools are available from Workshopping - a good place IMO - https://workshopping.co.uk/products/socket-sets-sockets/sealey-ak2672-premier-i...

My top trunnions from Superpro were the original yellow colour ones.

Will have to summon enthusiasm to get under the car but difficult to muster!
Hopefully replacement wont be too difficult as the springs should be rather more used to there residing position than when new - just don't want to have to fight them again !

Keep thinking its time to say goodbye !
That would be a sad...

I fitted super pro blue bushes to the front upper trunnions earlier this year - so far, so good but I won't know for a year or two if they're good quality.

Other after market rubber is cracking like that on the rear radius arms (Moss). Track rod end gaiters ok so far (Moss).

But, like Nick said in an earlier thread, "they really don't care, do they".

Any of you used 12 point ARP bolts on your Spridgets?

The previous owner used ARP bolts on the Lenham I purchased earlier this year, can anyone please confirm if these Sealey sockets are the correct ones required in the photos?

Mebee so. But if there's enough pressure under the rocker cover, even the correct sized rubbers will leak oil.

Les, I'm not sure what your car/engine is.

But you've changed the crankcase ventilation from an earlier version, to an invented hybrid version; -- and I think, that was to solve your earlier problem of bad idling with the mushroom type pcv valve.

Earlier, with t...
