I hate Ebay but it seems its a necessary evil these days, Look for a specific part, the you know will be there and you are inundated with 5000 items, with only perhaps 2 pertaining to be what you actually needed, do I need 4998 generic not what I asked for pieces of Chinese carp that have come up because they have absolutely no relevance to what you are looking for

What dissy are you using? 35DLM ? , they fail due to antique electronics, and another problem with RV8 distributors it the rotor arm, the majority made or available today are for the P5 engine which was a points engine, and are the wrong height for the later distributors, too low, I got so frustrated with this problem I converted my front cover to be distributorless but ran the oil pump, and went to coil packs.

Vague question time here, the old wreck I am working on at the moment has been undersealed in places with a rubberised type underseal, sticks like sticky stuff to a blanket, I would like to find out what is it?, Its Black, its Brush on, very shiny, not dissimilar in texture to sikkaflex, Any thoughts to what it may be?

Silly one at the boot fair, TBH it was carp, all kiddy clothes and toys, BUT I spotted this, printed on glass, for a lowly £1. I was having it for my den

Arminghall autojumble today in Norwich, got a large tabletop saw, a mk 2 Cortina drivers sill and still came home £150 up I love days like these......😀 Sounds like a good haul, I even managed to have a good day last weekend at Aylesford Priory Car show and AJ, never been before, so I left home far to early, and got in before it opened!!!, not on the lookout for much, BUT came out smiling, Came across a fella selling his words "Old Cr-p" from his rallying days, nearly filled my bag in ten mins of looking, Magard style Alloy twin webber throttle linkage, complete £2.00!!!!!, 3 genuine Ford red plastic clutch pipes, 1.00 !!! each... New crossflow engine mounts 2.00 each, and lots of other "smalls" for pennies, and he knocked £2.00 off cos it was early and he had no change, Happy days Walked round a bit more, theres a stall holder selling what looks like more like boot fair fodder, everybody was walking past, but I stopped, as I usually do, for a good scan around, the man started talking to me, asked me what I had car wise, looked a bit blank when I said Austin A35 Van, but Paid attention when I said Ford Classic 315, "Oh the Ford Classic stuff is in a box over there, OK I was initially a bit disappointed when the stuff was Not for a Ford Classic 315, BUT was highly delighted to find bags with Rally Design all over them, there was what looked like a full hydraulic concentric clutch release kit for a type 9, not sure if it was all there, but it looked complete, no good to me, as I have just converted my Type 9 to hydraulic, (BUMHATS) saw another bag in this box, said Quaife all over it, had a quick peek inside, A brand New Type 9 quick shift lever, How Much mate? is £40 too much? give you £30, ended up with it for £35. got home and checked the price, from Quaife, £185.00 plus Vat and Postage...... RESULT!!!!!!!!

Good dampers are a good start, not over springing the car, I had a mk2 cortina with a rover v8, I ran that on 180lb springs, it drove lovely

I have a couple of Good mates, known both them for 35-40years, Both have Austin Devon Hotrods, Your running gear and Chassis are very similar, It would not be hard. ask what bits will upgrade, ie Brakes, etc, Steering box is a real pain IIRC from my Devon days, sort of dictates you need a engine with a passenger side exhaust, What about a big lazy straight 6, as long as the chassis X member is not in the way?

I had a Good weekend, must confess its the busiest I have seen the place in years... Good to See, and the weather stayed DRY, and warm, all except for Friday evening, Sunday was Marred by a POP going over at the top of the strip, a few too many oil downs and clips with walls etc, but still a brilliant weekend......... Well done to all Involved............, Roll on the next meet..........

I guess I'm lucky, drag what you want (read don't want) metal wise down the drive, give it 48 hours and the fairies have taken it, God Bless the fairies

On my engine, Ford ST170, I have, what I am led to what I believe is a smart alternator, controlled by the ECU. I am also led to believe its a self regulated self exciting alternator, and can be run by connecting the single large wire to a battery source..... OK so far? if this is so, I don't think I can wire a charge light wiring the alternator like this, can it be done electronically?
