  • Mike Dixon07 June 2026

    I have fitted an overdrive switch to my gearlever and it has worked fine for several thousand miles.

    I included an inline 5A fuse on the white feeding it -just as well, as it has just started blowing.

    I cannot see any bare wires/chafing in the obvious place round the bottom of the gear lever or the wires around the gear box OD switch that I can see with an endoscope poked in ...

    👍. Looks bloody nice Guy.

  • paulh407 June 2026

    Some that used a sensor in the hose had a 'saddle' with a groove for the tube, but I looked for them a while ago and found none.

    For a pal's kit car I suggested a turn of self-amalgamating tape (obtained from the village car spares shop!) and that worked well, but does need enough space. Overlap (it only sticks to itself, not the rad port) by about 1/2" and lay the tube on that section. ...

    Taken yesterday, Mike.
    Pretty standard to look at, though bumper less as you see. The paintwork is not that good though at least it's all one colour!

  • Tim C07 June 2026

    Well, lesson learned. An old duvet cover cut down the sides provides a suitable dust cover from now on!

  • Dave O'Neill 207 June 2026

    I had the same problem when I fitted a Kenlowe sender to my top hose. I never did manage to stop it, so I had a boss fitted to the radiator top tank, in order to use a modern fan switch.

  • Brian Davis07 June 2026

    Bit of assistance please from somebody who has solved this problem before.

    I’ve got a Kenlowe electric fan fitted to my MGB (1980 roadster). The thermostat has failed and as Kenlowe have stopped trading I’ve had to fitted an alternative. All works ok except I’ve got a small leak (drip) where the probe goes into the top hose. All nicely tightened up (and a new top hose for nice an...

    P.S.

    Sorry for the hijack.

    Anynody wanna buy a Spit? 🙂😉

  • anamnesis07 June 2026

    This Spit needs spit and a polish. It got into this state without a battery even in it.

  • anamnesis07 June 2026

    I don't disbelieve the charge theory.

    But you don't need a charge to attract dust.

    The dust on the top of this tank is stuck fast. None on the sides.

    The bike is smothered in dust. No battery in it. Ypu can see where I wiped it clean on the headlight pod and the front mudguard.

    The filth and dust on my uncles Spit is plentiful too. Battery hadn't even been in it for a c...
