Re: New Caps order January 2024
2 caps recieved and mighty fine they are too. I didnt realise the ear-flap version is in a thick soft fleece material. Its really nice. I will be fitting mine with a thin lanyard that has a small safety pin on the end which I fix to my clothing. My existing cap has been lifted off once by a playful ...

Re: The Noisy Tappet Saga
On an injected engine I don't think you can change the timing as it is set by the flywheel and / or camshaft pick-up and calculated in the CPU.

Re: broke clutch cable
The inners on modern Bowden cables are usually stainless steel wire so solder will not take to it regardless of technique and flux choice. The potting idea works because you are setting a block of solder around the cores.
Unusual for a nipple to pull off the cable. They are mostly crimped on now.

Re: Morgan Super 3
Choice of engine is great - long links with Ford, but the design styling is just potty in my view. Why didnt they take cues from the F type? Others might say they wanted to create a totally new image within the 3 wheeler philosophy. Apparently the rear drive still whines and wails according to one r...

Re: Springalex steering wheel
Horn buttons USUALLY just earths down a connection between the horn and the steering column. So you will need a fixed slip-ring attached to the steering column. The horn push is fixed to the steering wheel and hence to the steering column shaft. The horn push has a brush that wipes the slip-ring whe...

Re: Stuck Engine Mounting Bolt
I had the same problem when stripping my EV Cali. The bolt is being physically gripped by aluminium oxide from the engine and zinc oxide from the bolt. The two white powders really like each other and fill all the space on an almost molecular level leading to an enormously strong hold, as you will a...
