Re: The Noisy Tappet Saga
Surely you won't need to adjust the valve timing as presumably the cam is profiled to use the standard drive pulley and the ignition timing will just remain as is? Or does it need the ignition advanced/retarded? It looks like you need to check clearances between the mechanical bits but that's all is...

Re: Type 1 Wiring Loom question
Thanks Simon, I've sorted out the wiper motor connections thanks. The last remaining question is the hazard light switch connector block but I think I'll get the one used on old minis and see if that works - I can always adapt the connections if need be.

Re: Type 1 Wiring Loom question
Hi Tony I meant to draw more bulb symbols instead of earth symbols - I was in too much of a rush! So the green/brown wire goes to the indicator switch which then directs it to the left or right side indicator. What I really need is to know what the hazard rocker switch connections are when the switc...

Re: Type 1 Wiring Loom question
Another question you may be able to help with please. I've nearly finished the rewiring apart from the hazard and indicator circuits. I have an eight pin connector block with 5 wires going to it. After speaking to Al we think it goes to a Hazard light rocker switch similar to that fitted on older mi...

Re: Speed humps.
I've not had a problem with grounding over speed bumps with my Type 2 or Type 3, it may be that you have shorter length coil overs at the back than standard. You could measure the free length and let us know. Two possible solutions; make up some short extensions for the top coil over mounts or upgra...

Re: Type 1 rebuild
I've been spending a lot of time on the electrics. I'm reusing the loom but as it was removed and not labeled up it's been a slow process working out what goes where, sometimes the multi meter has been needed to confirm things. I've also no idea where the switches were located so that coupled with a...

Great idea! Clare and I would be interested in attending though we have a family wedding to attend on 8th June so not around then for us. But if that turns out to be your best date then go with it.
Thanks Dave

Re: Brake light sensor location???
Hi Andy The brake light switch is often located on a 4 way union where the brake pipe from the front brake master cylinder splits to go to the front brakes. It's usually located near the right hand side of the steering rack on the chassis. Otherwise it might be actuated by the brake pedal itself, vi...
