I am sure that the lights are on two circuits so there will be two fuses.
I’ll check in the morning.

I agree. Far too much bling. Think of all the reflections you will get off those pods containing the dials. I don’t wish to be a spoilsport but how long will it be before a pedestrian walks behind one of these hyper cars and gets a face full of exhaust and decides to sue the driver. The McLaren appa...

The obvious worry is that having spent a chunk of money on the paintwork the last thing you want to do is damage it putting in the studs. I was chastised for not following Gerry’s markings exactly. Memory says that I didn’t realise it was that critical e.g. not realising they wold have a pattern to ...

Did you know that Shelby provided financial support for De Tomaso back in the ‘60’s to allow Peter Brock to design the car known as the P70. Unfortunately they fell out and Shelby went on the help build the GT40 and De Tomaso hooked up with Ghia to finish the car. De Tomaso is now working on a new c...

For anyone not come across Denso tape you WILL need to handle it with rubber gloves or similar. The cloth has permanently soft putty type coating and it sticks well to your fingers etc. It’s used commercially on all the exposed parts of operating valves out on the North Sea oil rigs. You can be sure...

If Nik can get way with a suitable noise level without the extra silen...

Kevin, for reference the hood support tube is attached to a similar sized tube that goes back to the side of the car. I peeled of a little bit of trim back but it didn't show much more the bracket being totally glassed in. I expect that there is a main vertical metal tube that forms the B pillar fro...

Stuart, agree on that one. I now remember that I changed the thermostat housing to keep the top hose lower. Can’t remember who I purchased it from - possibly Real Steel?

I have been advised that the May dates for the potential Welsh Tour are likely to be close to or clash with Spa so please ignore those and concentrate on the Aug or Sept dates. A typical day is buffet breakfast at 8.00. Route briefing at 9.30 and start route at 10.00. Afternoon tea & cakes from 4.30...

Sorry to hear you had big issues trying to get home Andrew. I have heard of coil problems before with Ford engines and I think a Mallory distributor. Suggest you search the forum for possible causes. It is most likely a compatibility issue between coil, distributor and ballast resistor. Do you have ...
