thanks Gents- Dave have you been advertising your collection here? was hoping to move them as there is a lot-if there is no interest here i will do a bulk run to the local market- I appreciate the advice- cheers

I think that's highly relevant, Bernie - even Brake Man mentioned it the other day. I'll revisit that with him when I go back (possibly Monday) - shouldn't be hard to add holes if I'm stuck with using that piston. I have enquiries out with the usual suppliers at the moment, plus with Tony S.

I think the CPOA guidance was 10% +2mph, so Malc was very unlucky.

No but I'll ask Dave.

Very similar problem to the one raised by Les a couple of weeks ago. My speedometer inner cable has snapped off at the gearbox end, leaving nothing to get a hold of to remove the end bit.
In this case it isn't into an angle drive but direct into the speedo drive gear of a type 9 gearbox. I spent nearly 2 hours lying under the car this morning trying with various pics and devices trying to leve...

John,
Not sure how much it affects piston movement, but every piston I have ever seen has six holes in it, yours only has two. In view of the OD of your piston this could restrict fluid bypass on the piston return.

Battery charger? 😱

Do you know what make it was?

Sorry about that. I'd just refilled my glass.

Don't know if it a myth but I was told there is a 10% leeway on speed limits. That is 2mph in the new 20 zones. It is also the thickness of the needle in a speedo head.

With the tapes correct, the points of the cones were at the very edges of the holes.
I've had to make a slightly bigger gap at the back today, because, after days of lovely clearance, the bonnet has hit and damaged the scuttle. Very annoying, and another confirmation that nothing is ever the same, as our cars' stories continue to be written.
