Amazing! Since fitting a used 1303 steering box & universal jointed linkage last week, the steering has remarkably improved. However, I'm still puzzled as to...
hey guys, it appears that some time in the past some sill fool has spilt brake fluidunder my front hood! it could have been a leak as its just underneath the...
Matt, This is all possible. What do you mean by "quite an area" Do you think it has run down the inner wing to the floorpan level? You should be able to get a...
As usual, I agree with Mark completely - but I would just add - often a brakefluid leak looks worse than it is - it peels the paint and then makes the metal...
When I checked my Super's VIN it ends in 1300, not 1302. Does this mean I have something different from the 1302s? Should I be looking for a different group....

Some friends just had their '65 Split screen bus set up on a rolling road. It cost them £220 all in and took all day. They do have a 1600 with twin carbs tho....
A good vacuum distributor WILL cure this flat spot. The 009 has an advance curve which is incompatible with the single carb engine and that long long inlet...
I believe it also depends on how you time the engine up. There is a strong thought that the 009 should be timed up ignoring what it is doing at tickover. It...
