You might be interested to hear that Burlen have provided revised settings in line with what you have found. As you say the original setting did not allow reliable throw over. I produced a test rig

I don't know about later cars but on the 100 it was simply the original, chrome plated. I had an original on my BN1 but have recently had to have it re-chomed because it was peeling. The special hol

For what it is worth I would have thought that the chromed air cleaners and chromed rocker cover combination on a 100 was rare. The examples I have seen had the H6 carburettors and early cold air bo

This looks correct in general terms for a 100 but it is configured for an engine with a direct heater outlet. This tube could be unscrewed and the heater tap fitted instead. Without a pulley fitted

Just one comment. Do not lubricate the bell crank pivot on the 100. The pivot pin is directly screwed into the exhaust manifold and gets very hot. If oiled this will turn into a deposit and gum up t
