  1. It pays to heat wrap it if you convert to pinto. Mine came out of the clip and rested on the exhaust
  2. I had the same trouble with mine until i found a paint guy who had the original colour in a can off the shelf. He resides on the shore
  3. Yeh hes driven that for years and is a bloody good peddler. couldnt keep up with the cologne capri tho. did you see in the engine bay simon? will have to post a pic of that. looked out for you simon but didnt see you any where. Gave him a run for his money in the first race. (the one that was stopped because of the triumph crashing)
  4. That triumph was a mess but fixable. That escort of bruce manons is awesomly quick
  5. Just a little tab that you fold over to keep it in place.
  6. They have a little clip on the fire wall that mine is attached to. Im guessing thats what it is for. Anyone?
  7. If you are runing a type 9 sierra box and an escort speedo it will read about 20 ks out. The best thing to do is find one of those "your speed is" boxes on the side of the road get a reading and have your speedo re-calibrated.
  8. Insanely cool! Im guessing it won't be racing this weekend?
  9. Negative side of the coil by memory. My wire is green
  10. All good. Ill keep them untill you have more money
  11. Hurry up and buy my Side drafts!
  12. It has gone well. Clocked it up within half a thou just to make sure. Lathe isnt huge but it does the job. Have done rollsets and press tooling on it before.
  13. Just did the first one and took .10mm off each side and it cleaned up nicely. if anyone else wants this done in the auckland area give us a yell
  14. Yeap can do it. sorry if its late
  15. Hi, My daily needs new disc pads on the front. But unfortunatly the front right disc has been scored. Is it ok to clock it up in the lathe and take a lick of each side? Will this effect anything and will i need to "match machine" i.e machine the other side to the side thickness. Any help would be much appreciated
  16. + there is alot of them around and they are strong engines. Do it
  17. Or you can make some blocks/packers to space the box down a wee bit. Its what i did and it works fine
  18. How hard is it to get the Grit/sand out of nooks and crannys?
  19. Looks like a good project. Check the door jams aswell. Always plently of rust hiding in there
  20. Currently fitting some 40mm Dell orto Side Draught carbs to it but am having trouble with the throttle linkage. Does anyone have one (linkage) or maybe point me in the direction on one?
  21. Have seen this (or one like it) in manukau up from the courts. Same one?
  22. Was a wee while ago but where did you get the under bonnet stickets from? Burtons?
