LOL David

I am booked in for this event on 19th July. Promises to be great fun, and perfect timing for me. Two days before it, I get my tune-up with AC Dodd.

What about simply making the biscuit aisles narrower..

Many thanks for your help. I've used blue Hylomar to the gasket-rocker cover and a slight smear of grease on the head surface.

It may just have been the end of a Ford speedo cable push fitted, there is no big load to drive apart from the friction of the gears and cable itself.

Get another one and glue in with whatever bearing fit compound you have to hand?

We already SPEND AND WASTE FAR TOO MUCH on the religion known as the nhs.

Now some f*cking lunatic in NHS England, thinks we should waste even more money, by handing out freebies to scroungers, to encourage them to do what they should do for themselves anyway, without prompts or bribes.

No doubt taxes will rise to pay for ...

LOL. I remember people fighting over the last few bags if sugar in a supermarket in 1973. Punches thrown by middle aged women, split bags, and wasted sugar all over the floor. I just gave up using sugar and never regretted it since.

I have a steel rocker cover screwed onto the garage wall. I keep spare cork rocker cover gaskets slid over its outside to maintain their shape. It appears to help when it comes to fitting the gasket. The Old fashioned method of fitting is to apply grease to the mating faces of the gasket when fitting.

I use Blue Hylomar to attach, and hold in place, the gasket to the rocker cover but nothing between gasket and cylinder head.

What is the across flats dimension for the square drive on the type 9 speedo gear. I could measure it but just being lazy, would need to jack up car ,then put on axle stands to get access to it.
Although to be fair I will probably still measure it anyway- tomorrow’s job though.
