I think Simon Kelley is about to start selling them Broady!
I can vouch that the gsf brazillian ones are crap- rubber is too soft!
I think you can also buy type 2 rubbers that are much more beefy

It's worth mentioning also that you must use the copper bellows type of thermostat, NOT the newer waxstat type, which fails by default in the closed position!

Although the normal fail position of the thermostat is for it to expand, it's perfectly possible for it to fail not fully open & for the bracket etc to get fouled up with oil/road grime etc, making it sticky. The spring ensures that the flaps open fully whatever the condition of everything else Just...

Yes Kaddy, It's vital!
Small hook on spring goes through a hole in Right hand flap, Bigger hook goes onto the relay lever (fairly self explanatory when you see how it lines up)

The copper tail normally goes to the moving plate

That other clock jumped out at me Yesterday, & It's 77mm again

You wouldn't be able to blow through, unless the white tab was depressed by being in the neck of a bottle!

I never push mine back in properly, as its a pain to get out again! I measured 2 this afternoon for You- Both 77mm from front face of bezel to back of mechanism- didn't measure the further protrusion of the spade terminal though. 1 was fasty's, T'other came out of Dave's squareback MUM I've got a gr...

Although you might have guessed that I've been toying with the idea for quite a while, I blame broady entirely for my decision this morning to bite the bullet & buy one! There's so little difference in price between the 6L & 10L versions that it made sense to buy the bigger one! I may have been slig...

Have you got a Brown Bentley?
Section 6, P 29!

FYI Rear screen & eber relays are under the back seat

So do you literally chuck the parts in & they come out sparkly? or is further manual effort needed?

Well done Broady!
Brilliant idea for a discussion thread !
What brands/sizes of tanks are You guys using?/ Would recommend?

For Your next trick Mike, How about making the bushes more readily available?- I've got some, but they were a bugger to find & Other people must be in the same boat?

At risk of stating the obvious, You can wire brush the spindle at the back of the housing too
First having ascertained that it's a 12V fanhousing!

I dealt with a seized one recently, on Dereks Razor Wire brush the exposed ends, make sure you've removed the circlips at each end, then a little gentle heat/not so gentle swearing & copious whallops with a hammer Measure the cooler galleries & let me know- I have a couple of spares with diff size g...

Yes!
I initially said No, they weren't the same, but couldn't offer any recollection of where I got that from

Asking for a friend! Koen, (Starsky from Belgium) is building a race car & wants to know if Type 3 Headlight bowls (ie the metal bowl in the wing) are the same as Type 1? I've tried the argument that race car= non working headlight & therefore doesn't matter, but He wants it to be right! Can anyone ...

If all else fails, I've got a folding engine hoist, which is what I use to move engines around- You're very welcome to borrow it for a few weeks!

Bloody Hell Simon!
Now I feel very guilty for not having messaged you to check you were ok!
My knee isn't really up to helping lift it out, but I'm sure Sarah or Jeff would pop over to help You

Please put Me down for the moment & We'd better assume that Dave will be coming

Theres an auto gearbox on ebay at the mo- supposedly removed from a working car, so might be worth a message to the seller?

Yes!

pics aren't showing chaps!
