Anglesey 22nd, 23rd May. by
Willy Eckerslyke
Anyone thinking of visiting the Anglesey Steam Rally (or Vintage Rally
or whatever it's called) this next weekend?
I'll be there on the Saturday with my Triumph Vitesse (yellow saloon
with white stripe), so say come over and say hello.
If you haven't visited before, it's a good show with a mix of machinery
from traction engines through vintage to classic cars, tractors
commercials, etc. It's...

Recommended lubricant for accelerator cable? by
S1500
Brand new accelerator cable(bought from a bike shop), on a '79 Spitfire,
Weber carb.
After doing away with the old ZS carb linkage retrofitted on the Weber,
I had to get a new cable. But, as being a new cable, it sticks. WHat's
the best way to lube it?
Was advised against wd-40. Have graphite. Weather's been bad so I haven'
t had a chance to apply it yet.

Paint inside an engine sump? by
Steve Musgrave
I've just cleaned years of muck out of the inside of a Rover V8 sump - and
stripped the black paint off most of it in the process. Now, do I leave it
as bare steel and risk some rust until oil has coated it again, or do I
paint it and risk the heat and oils dislodging paint flakes and potentially
clogging the oilways when the engine reaches working temperature?
Logically I suppose I should...

A Few Quid, on account of them being common names. Paintwork condition
is significant too.
However they're a funny size - I've never seen them that big before.
That's 3 jerrycans! Might have some extra rarity value on that account.

refurbing door seals on a "soon to be/modern" classic. by
Sleeker GT Phwoar
OK, so not strickly a true classic yet, but I'm sure in a few years all
the GT4 models will be, even though it is Japanese.
It has a problem. Although the door seals are in very good condition, it
is a frameless door design. It lets in a lot of wind noise.
Ironically to worst area isn't arround the windows, but at the lower
leading edge of the door (I can feel the breeze blowing up between...

Brake cylinder corrosion by
Asolepius
I know this has been discussed before, but I remain puzzled. The 15-year
rebuild of my Mk 1 Sprite is finished, except that the master cylinder has
gone rusty - again! First of all I honed out the brake and clutch bores,
assembled the unit, wrapped it up and stored it away in the house. When I
assemble the system I found the bores had rusted in storage. So I honed it
again. By this time I...

Wanted: TR6 mechanic in Edinburgh by
Tim Shields
Hi all,
OK, so the shame of my life is that i've left my TR6 standing for the
last year (not my fault - honest) - but now I have to get it moved (by
the 26th May).
Now of course that damn thing wont even think about starting. It
cranks's over, but no hint of it starting and I really don't know
enough about cars to get them going again!

Shorrock blower on a Frogeye by
Healey Man
has anyone seen one of these fitted? I have most of the parts in kit form,
but the bigger front pulley will be just touching the front crossmember by
the look of it, any ideas? I could cut out the crossmember like on the Big
Healey, but I'm not sure if that is wise.... or I could make some kind of
tie bar to hold the engine back a few millimeters. what is the recommended
way?
