  1. That's the special bit of this special build.
  2. No, keep the 32/36.
  3. I have some NOS tyre-air for sale!
  4. Did he test all the available fuels?
  5. Shell has V-Power, Total has Excellium. I fill the tank in Belgium, € 1,70 / liter for V-Power 😀
  6. AI did that.
  7. Baarlo? Organised a few Ford RS meetings there (RSOC European Event).
  8. PS: biggest task will be changing the wiper mechanism.
  9. For those parts that are a mirror image (RHD to LHD) you can, but for the parts that aren't like alternator and ignition you might have to lengthen a few wires (also dependant on what engine).
  10. Received an email from them this morning.
  11. Maybe they are too busy restoring cars to look at incoming emails .... 🙄
  12. Thanks, just send them a new email.
  13. Tried contacting them via website and email but no reply.
  14. Any know if Historic Motorsport South West is active with respect to answering queries made via their website / email?
  15. Cambelt only turning 1 cm or so, so startermotor kaputt or not meshing properly.
  16. Well, over here it's very similar. Just replace UK with Netherlands and Keir with Mark Rutte (former prime minister). Except for the fact that Rutte doesn't have a wife nor friends ...
  17. Looking at the photo and reading the description of the rear axle on the Anglia it is a well-modified axle. On a std English axle the things that breaks when you have too much bhp and/or do burn-outs are the half shafts.
  18. We all know that OSF's can go sideways, but planes can do that too! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0yvCXZ_vvB8
  19. It was BaileyMex who commented on the fuelpressure. Jeff: if the engine was running ok on this carb before then check for vacuumleaks around the inletmanifold / carb. Spray a bit of brake cleaner around the manifold-gasket area. If the rpm / running changes you have a vacuum leak. Also check the vacuumhose to distributor. 0.015" for both inlet and exhaust is a good starting point. So is a static ignition timing of 14 degrees BTDC.
  20. How did you measure that, as that is very low? That's for a Pinto, this is a XFlow. And delivery fuel pressure does not influence running as long as it is high enough to keep the float chamber full.
  21. That's an easy fix ...
  22. It's an English axle with modified (enlarged) diff housing. Sometimes used for stock car racing.
  23. Link? As far as I can see the Ventus is not available in 13 inch, the Hankook Kinergy is. (more shocking spelling?)
  24. Whilst watching a re-run of the Brokenwood Mysteries (NZ) I spotted a blue Mk1! (if there already is a topic on this please move this post)
