Re: Engine hardware

If you want forvever lasting shina get Aisi316 bolts. Remember, you can't use magnets to pick em up, so don't drop. https://gyazo.com/14898cb473142a4b45188f3d9ba61247 https://gyazo.com/16e1a5dd9a52fc9a15f90608471aed5d https://gyazo.com/715a82de07cebcd8adf095ad21d0d997 https://gyazo.com/e6dda778211a5...

Re: Rear wheel arch rust

I have pretty much the same problem. I was thinking of doing same thing, but maybe a small wideing at the same time, so that tires won't throw dirt and sand at the same time. Problem is all widening stuff is glass fiber.... and that can be forgotten right a way.

The round heads on the ones I've seen in the shops are quite a bit bigger than original and would be too noticeable I think, especially by me hehe. I don't expect that you got yours from a...

Re: Starter motor strip down and refurb

Lucas model 2,2kw model had metal gears and bosch one had plastic ones Plastic gears? I`ve never seen that before. I can see it would be quieter, but wouldn`t have thought they`d take the strain, esp. the shock loading? Yep, white plastic, that starter was like 40 years old still working so, that s...

Re: Starter motor strip down and refurb

It can be done but, prepare also for failure. I have done it but it was totally pain in the ass. Alternator is much easier to do. https://gyazo.com/b683d565bf58e474e37ee1d060c26b31 https://gyazo.com/52b61cb8ad00341251307be6040ff721 If i don't remember wrong V6 starter motors had minor differences.

For example, they mistakenly sent me 2x 5 litre bottles of oil when I'd ordered 3...

One thing bigger/better brakes are better at is better control at the point where the tire looses traction and skids . S...
