The Classic Marque

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.

I think I have a spokeshave somewhere too. Must check.

One day, WE will be deemed AI, by the then defacto 'I'.

Whay will it make of us?

No doubt they are made to a metric size now which might explain why they are loose.

A complete non-starter.
To put it bluntly it’s a fools errand. Heath achieved it back in the late 60s by effectively lying through his teeth to the British public, and the then existing EEC states having no experience of what a bleeding pain in the bum the UK was going to become.

Before even the UK could be considered as a candidate, it would have to jump through a ...

David, loved your photo of your mallets. Here's a snap of the two I have left of those I made. Both were made from scrap by hand to fit hammerheads I found "in the wild" with broken/rotten handles. I absolutely agree about elliptical handle profiles and both have them, along with elliptical spigot fitting in the heads. They were entirely cut by hand without any machinery.

Found another (complete this time !) original rubber washer as per the pic

The tube nut is a very tight fit through the rubber washer, it also has a reduced diameter that sits into the rocker cover hole, the recess on topside of the rubber is caused by it pulling into the cup washer.

So if the rubber washers are loose send them back !

I did wonder, my second time - I amazed at good the new MASCOT is, ironically after I left maybe 16 years ago, they moved the meet to a pub within walking distance of my house !
