Not unlike the "Will the last person leaving Seattle — turn out the lights" after the the Boeing layoffs in the 1970s.

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant Dave. 👍

IIRC Les mentioned earlier that the coil didn't get hot which made me think the EI may be constant energy (variable dwell) so the coil would run much cooler than with a CB system. Probably good as it's fitted in the dizzy and so subject to engine temperatures and best to minimise the heat generation from the switching device. I didn't find the H&H website (under construction) or facebook page at a...

lots of cars ran/run 1" rear cylinders Holdens did in HQ's Rodeo's If you've got a brake repair joint near you they might have some old cylinders you could nick the springs out of, even 15/16 or 7/8 would be ok, all the springs do is keep the cups/pistons out against the shoes.

Les - The dots are there for doing a rough startup ignition timing----The idea is to have the engine set on roughly 10deg btdc and fit the dist and line the dots up for an initial startup-- but--the instructions are vague and don't tell you which of the four possible positions to fit the trigger wheel to the points cam.
forget about that it doesn't really matter which position it ends up in as...

All gone now! I have some space to gather more...

So on the hunt for a pedal, before hitting ebay I wondered if anyone on here had a spare that wa...

It can only get worse.

It says it's for LHD, so may or may not be different. Rather annoyingly, my MGOC reprint of the parts catalogue doesn't give a number for the pedal, presumably as it was NLA when printed.

One sold on ebay just over a week ago for £30 & free postage. I was tempted to get it 'just in ...
