WOW!!!!!! You must be really excited :)
|
That's a nice box...:icon_smile:
|
Well that box has certainly travelled a very long way to reach you. :eek:
Good luck putting it all together. Cheers, Paul. :) |
Ha thanks guys it's not here yet!!

This should take care of the fuel oversupply. A fuel pressure regulator:

ohhh shiny! :)

Proper oil for the SUs now. And a fuel pump spacer, the last pieces in the engine puzzle...
|
Proper oil - what is that? I thought "3 in 1" so what have you used? But sounds like the final pieces, so are you near to the end now?
|
Hi Marc I should, I suppose, have been more specific... Last pieces of the engine puzzle meaning after this I can tune it properly. I'm still a way off receiving the body and finishing the actual car!
Proper oil for the SUs is straight 20. I chucked the same motor oil in them (30w50) as I'd used in the engine and it was not happy! I'll let you know how it all goes when I put it in on the weekend. I'll post a vid on friendface as I dunno how to do that here. Catch you all later |
Tim , if you go to www.vesselfinder.com or one of the similar websites , you can track a container ships movements , if you know the vessels name , which should be on your shipping paperwork.
It won't get you the bodyshell any quicker or add anything to your project but it is quite interesting to follow. I have imported a couple of vehicles from the states in the past and its interesting to see boats being diverted to Europe on route etc. |
Thanks El p, I've just yesterday received confirmation the crate has been collected and have a Sydney eta of 29/6/15. I've got the ship name and using liveshiptrack to see it. It's not yet docked in England but very cool!
|
29th of June... So that gives you loads of time to strip the donor, refurbish it, change your mind, re-do things and then buy tons of bits you don't 'really' need from e-bay :)
|
Ha ha ha I hear you brother! I tried fitting the fuel pump spacer I bought at great expense but the studs holding the pump on are too short to fit it! If I needed I could extract those and replace them but I'll see how the regulator goes.
|
Update on the "proper oil" for the carb dashpots; perfect! Now revs happily and very quickly too, up and down. If you're using motor oil in the SUs get some proper oil! (Don't think the zenith or solex need oil)
|
I shall research and buy some - must be on the net somewhere. Thansk for the heads up, as I am running twin SUs
|
Got mine from rimmers, Marc, about 5 pounds. But it's 20 grade oil. I was able to find straight 15 at motor bike shop but got the 20 from rimmers. It truly transformed the throttle response
|
The parts are safely in the hands of the shippers! I expect arrival slightly after 9 months from ordering. Seems I'm in the 3rd trimester
|
Good luck with the delivery - always a stressful time for mother and baby :-)
|
Great to hear your big box is finally on its way. :cool:

At least your kit has to travel half way around the world, not just from Poole to London! :icon_wink: Good luck, Paul. :) |
