Just sent the 1966 track cab for MoT to find out the whole chassis is rusted through in numerous places. The MoT man said it would probably not even pass with lots of welding, so I am looking at a new chassis I think.

The first question is - is it worth doing? all the effort? all the cost??

If not then what to do with the vehicle - apart from the chasis its in good nick.

If I do change the chassis, should I then rewire, re-brake re... everything at this time... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (1966 IIa boy) http://wittsendsystems.yuku.com/topic/5560 Mon, 03 Oct 2005 12:59:27 GMT <![CDATA[ LPG and Timing ]]> http://wittsendsystems.yuku.com/topic/5562/t/LPG-and-Timing.html Years ago it was recommended to run unleaded at tdc and I did this... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Thumper) http://wittsendsystems.yuku.com/topic/5562 Mon, 03 Oct 2005 12:39:34 GMT <![CDATA[ injector testing ]]> http://wittsendsystems.yuku.com/topic/5563/t/injector-testing.html Anyone know what this is in psi?

FWIW, my swivels are in fantastic shape, with proper preload and the swivel seal itself also intact. So, I don't want to invite trouble...

I'm talking about the little piece that bolts up to the flange of the swivel ball and keeps one from turning the wheel too far in one direction. For some reason I think it's the right hand side, but I'm not positive.

This is a NAS left hand drive 1967 IIA.

I have noticed that my oil light takes a few seconds to go out when I start the engine (Oil level OK on dipstick)
Any Ideas because I can't replicate the noise when the car is stationary or stick my head under the bonet when driving!

1) I have read that both the #1 and #2 prongs are the sense lead and the power lead. Which one is which, please?

2) The 16gauge 'switched' lead can go to a fuse or ignition switch. Where is the ignition switch pyshically located and which fuse is the 'switch' fuse?

3) The red power lead can go straight to the battery or to the ignition solenoid- which prongs on the solenoid... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (lukas75) http://wittsendsystems.yuku.com/topic/5561 Sun, 02 Oct 2005 17:36:19 GMT <![CDATA[ Rad problem ]]> http://wittsendsystems.yuku.com/topic/5571/t/Rad-problem.html
Yesterday i fitted a new rad from paddock,s it's a 3 core one but when i fitted it the bottem spout comes out of the rad at an angle towards the wing. On my old rad it was strangth. Hence the pipe won't fit.

Has anyone one come across this. And is it just a case of ordering a series 3 pipe.
