Just a general question, following a discussion I had with someone.
If converting drum brakes to disc is the 7/8” master cylinder retained or replaced with a 3/4” one.
Thanks

I might just do that, Paul - be interesting to see. Will report findings.
This is what I like about this forum - it's well suited to more depth, which helps those of us who are not trained, but keen to wield a spanner and keep on learning.John.

Adrian, I agree this type of lift is an overkill for our light cars but the smaller lifts with four arms look much flimsier and you'd struggle getting to the gearbox and exhaust with the way they are designed, but at only around £1300 still a good buy.

But you and Jeremy have hit a very good point, where to find an old seat or chair on rollers that rises and falls down to the required heig...

Bud. Remember solder is your friend.

Interesting outcome there John and good story!

I would take one of your spare meters and wire it in correctly and then see if the deflection differs.

If it does not, then maybe there is a fault in your control box in the engine bay.

If it does deflect correctly (goes to + when you rev) then you definitely have an anomaly in that gauge so I would fit the correct on and mark the...

Thanks Michael, it's keeping track of guys like Chris that keeps it going. I've ordered the cutters and now is the challenge of learning to solder the cable. No luck in past tries. Perhaps Chris will tell me about the tricks. Bud

or a fully reclining chair, on powered rollers with an automatic rise function. That should just about do.

Roger that. Good conversation as always. John.

Just in case you need to lift 4 or 5 spridgets at once?

Joke, I need to look at my diff and such a device would make that much easier. Next step would be a semi reclining chair on rollers.

Yep, fairly basic old gauge--absolutely no harm can be done reversing the wiring----Maybe the gauge was assembled incorrectly new and has always had to have had the wiring switched---rest easy young man there will be no smoke from there.
