The Daytune Fiat 500. Built by Peter Day, it had a 2 cylinder BDA in it. Thanks for posting that. I remember that Engine very well, it was the most odd sounding mini at the time, but it never performed to its full potential, all the 8 port minis and imps drove around it.

I feel a bit stupid asking for one of these, I'm certain I have one, if not two, but after 2 days of searching I cant find either..... I'm looking for a bit of the plastic timing cover that fits around the crank and carries the timing marks, it doset have to be mint, just good enough to bolt on and check my timing, Many thanks Ian

Somewhere in my fuddled mind, I seem to remember that new MOT rules had some covenant regarding LED retro fits, might be worth checking out....

Thankyou,Ill give them ring on Monday, but I may have sort of found a possible solution using a aircraft style hose clamp, I only need to retain the plug as wherever I run my crank sensor cable it is very close to running belts.

What does Ford 8s and 10s mean? The 8, and 10 designations were Horsepower Ratings, a bit like more modern cars were designated 1200, 1300, 1500,1600 etc, the 8,10,12, hp were Tax breaks, which were lately changed in the 50s? to an all encompassing fixed rate. hence the HP designations were sort of deleted from sales promotions, and the more "sexy" capacity sizes used....

Hi, I always thought they shared the same screen with the UK built dodge/Renault 50 series. I know these are hard to find but you do see them time to time. I think they do too, we have people searching around Europe at the moment. Cant justify the prices some dealers are asking for screens, got stung when shipping in from the states screen arrived broken, ..... at purchasers risk!! and looking at the screen we think it was shipped broken too........ hence the request on here.....

Putting my engineering hat on here, I would have got the flanges to an interference fit, and heat shrunk on, pinning/scotching is a way of stopping things rotating, I'm of the opinion a drill will walk off drilling dissimilar hardness metals, options, get a machine shop to mill the the holes undersize and ream to a good fit, or get them spark eroded.

How precise does the phasing have to be, I'm about 1/2 a spline out of 32 spine shaft, personally I think it will be ok, its only a gnats out.

Did wheels day, I have been attending wheels day for over 30 years, when it sort of started in the cattle market in Guilford, TBH not overly loving it, for me, it seems to have stagnated, and talking to a few old mates they are of the same opinion, and they have been attending for about the same amount of time as me, and stayed away, even the auto jumble was rubbish...... Saturday, we did the Classic saloon racing at Brands, thoroughly entertaining, augmented by Big Truck Racing, which I thoroughly enjoyed too

Unfortunately, I will be selling my 2 door Classic 315, No3 of 3 ongoing Projects.....I bought it about a year ago, , it was going to be my Cafe Racer, it already has striped out interior, lowered on wide steels, New Expressed Panels outer sills, repairs to the floors, all coming along nicely. and looking pretty good, Several big downers for me is the garage I was promised has failed to materialise, and I'm now working on the car on a shared drive I went to fit the recovered dash pad today, taking the trim off to get access to the fitting points I found rot at the root of the screen pillar, not masses, but will need to remove the screen to fix, neither my Neighbours or my Wife will stand for hacking bits out of the car any more on the drive, especially as I have 2 other projects laying dormant. Front wings are F-Glass In reality, it needs both corners of the screen post sorting, a bit of the boot floor seam sorting and a spare wheel well putting right, in reality, its a 62 year old English ford thats been restored before, Its never going to be a minter in my hands, it was going to run it about ratty, for no other reason than I have had really clean and tidy cars that I'm paranoid about leaving parked and being dented or scratched. Running gear is stock, it says 1500 in the log book, a box of spares including Mk3 capri headlights so you can fit halogen bulbs, good top mounts, A new owners club throttle pedal, As it sits at the moment it looks as cool as a Penguin on an Ice cube, I'm not asking much, compared with a 2 door mk1 or mk2 Cortina, in fact its dirt cheap @...... £750.!!!....... but I want it gone ASAP I have had this car parked on my drive for about 9 months + and not moved, if you are interested, I would say a trailer will be needed.I have only ever driven it onto my drive,
