    When I still had a ribcase box in mine, I found it quite easy to replace the propshaft.

    Jack up the rear end high enough to be able to lie comfortably under it.

    I'm left handed.

    Laying on your right side, feed the propshaft into the gearbox tunnel.

    Insert your left arm into the tunnel. Grip the prop yoke in your left hand and feed it onto the box output shaft. O...

    Tv news today at 10am

    Watch as Starmer tries to save his arse with a speech.

    I hope he does save it, for now.

    Because his replacement, is likely to be a disaster of truly looney tunes socialist proportions.

    Why not just overhaul the original.
    I have had my TF for over 50 years, It still has the original fuel pump.About ever 10 years I strip it down fit new diaphragm and points and set as WSM. Never let me down.
    Mind you I do carry a rubber bung,rubber pipe and pump ball off a blood pressure monitor to pressurise the tank. Used once only to get a friend home.

    Thanks Alan, that would have been a good idea but I managed to refit the slave before sliding the engine/box back into place so got any way with it this time.

    Note to future self: There is enough slack in the clutch hose, should I have to do this again leave it and speedo cable connected.

    The solid-state SU pump is over $400. I was hoping someone could recommend a cheaper after market pump. The location is over the rear right wheel.

    so I fitted the s/s twin box system from AH Spares and I am really happy, before the car was noisy at idle and got worse, at 50 mph and above it was all exhaust noise, now the idle is a bit quieter but from 40 mph I can hear the engine now !

    So much less tiring than it was, I would love to have tried/heard the large box maniflow system.

    But thanks !

  • C Mee10 May 2026

    Thanks for your suggestions Willy and Greybeard.

    Willy, the bell crank is for double throttle cables and the cable is fitted in the lower mount. It's a soldered on barrel nipple that slides in OK with things oriented to let the cable slide in via the slot you can see. The nipple then needs to be able to swivel so the cable sits in the groove on the the bell crank. There being nowhere for ...

    Many thanks, Stuart.

    It seems I am possible missing a mounting bracket on my chassis crossmember...

    Many thanks for the picture !!

    Sincerely,
    Woody

  • Les Robinson10 May 2026

    Yes, another question!!
    What brake pads are best? I currently have Yellow Stuff pads and I find that these fade if do lots of downhill braking and yesterday while on a 100 mile run made loads of dust on my wheels.

  • Greybeard 10 May 2026

    This is the kit that I have used on five different cars now, although it has gone up a trifle in price since I last did one.
    There's more than enough length and more than enough different brass termination nipples to cover virtually any application and it's super easy to use.
    I found the adjuster had a metric thread which I didn't think was in keeping for a Spridget, Mini or 'Tina but th...
