A whole day has been wasted today getting nowhere. Let me recap my setup.

948 flywheel drilled to accept 1275 clutch.

1275 slave, new seals fitted a few weeks ago. Not leaking now.

Master cylinder sleeved down to 3/4" with brass tubes, to suit both clutch and disc brakes.

Roller release bearing.

I have had no problems with this clutch in 11 years, apart...

Some time back I was given a pair of what look to be correct spot/fog lights from a friend who was having a clear out. They look OK apart from needing a good clean and polish but I never got round to fitting them.

I don't have the brackets and reading old posts it seems that the ones on offer didn't fit. Does anyone know if this is still the case or are decent ones now available?

I have at last fitted the new driven plate. While I was at it I fitted a remote bleed kit from Peter May, but it leaked so I am back to grovelling in the footwell. But the insoluble problem so far is that the clutch will not disengage, despite repeated bleeding. I have 1-2mm clearance at the slave pushrod end, and I have not changed anything else. Yes I did check that I had installed the plate the...

Guy, while I get your point, when it comes to EVs I think it over simplifies them. I accept that I am in the minority and most of the sheep think they are wonderful, but to me as well as huge problems for many to charge at home they are too big, too high, too heavy and just downright ugly in most cases.

I think most of us have largely lost the Free thinking ability when it cones to deciding on or even discussing these sort of dichotomous subjects. For or against Brexit, Trump, EVs, Wind farms. Those arguing their preferred option totally ignore any facts that don't nicely fit their view. It's what you might expect but it doesnt favour good decision making and doesn't allow for structured mitigati...

For the record - I did solve this. I used an IF formula with > than and < than to identify the coordinate number ranges I wanted and used this formula to place a 'Flag' in a different column. Using Hide and Unhide on that column then displays only the required entries. It gets 5000+ rows of data down to around 30 (a screen view full) and is much more manageable. To select I just enter a max...

When I met my wife over 50 years ago her family lived in a place called Culcheth near Warrrington. Close by was the headquarters of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. It was spread out over a large area and had laborities, advanced engineering workshops, research facilities and offices. It employed thousands, so many that new housing estates had to be built. Every other person you met app...

Yep, TATA. Hence my "British steel (hopefully that means something these days lol)"

My hope is that being made here and not in India, good quality steel is used. 🙄. But I guess it's just as likely or unlikely, crap here as well as in India. For all I know, made in India is a far better indicator of quality than made in Britain. Probably is these days. 🤣.

I've been three years restoring TC7801 and as a result haven't been on the TD side of this forum. It is now complete. Now I an on to a another project. I have a couple of TD's one of which is my driver. It needs to be freshened up. I don't want to completely install a new interior but I'm not too keen on the duct tape that is holding my seat cushions together. Aside from the cushions, the interior...

I've seen so many dodgy material test certificates during my working life in the nuclear industry that I always used to request a couple of tests on the actual material supplied. These could be carried out for around £50 with results in less than 24h usually resulting in rejection !
Often with approved suppliers I used to request certification and select my preference for above checks to be ...
