41. Re: Shock Curiosity (score: 1)

I believe that the 'gold' colour on the shock bodies indicates that the shock is a 'factory' rebuild - from the days when the factory was still doing this. Same as the red colour on the gearboxes, w

You're welcome on the extended upper slave cyl. bolt trick - makes all the difference, doesn't it! Here's the procedure I use to bleed the slave cyl. It's easy because you can now undo it / re-insta

One thing to note here - the Putzke tube shock conversion kit still uses the rear shock mount plate on the frame. A riser bracket is bolted to it that furnishes the upper shock mounting point for th

One thing I ran into: My BJ8 is a very late one - uses the rubber damped pulley/damper assembly with the 1/2" belt, rather than the earlier 3/8". When we rebuilt the engine last year, we found that

I would be very cautious about using any type of media blasting to clean carb parts. It's too easy to mess up the fitting of the parts even slightly, which could compromise the functioning of the ca

This information is a bit old: A company called M&G Vintage Auto in Tuxedo Park, N.Y. advertised awhile back ( probably 3 - 4 years) in British Car mag that they rebuilt Lucas vaccum advance units.

Drip rail first, then the shroud. Lots of people forget about this, and have to partially remove the rear shroud much later to get the drip rail in - a real pain! I'm right there with the assembly o

I agree with Mike Salter - the factory Workshop Manual is most useful, but any of the others, if you can find them, would be much better than having nothing - for the most part, they are copies of t

Hi Bruce: I'm pretty sure they are coarse thread (rather than some obtuse British bolt size)! Make sure to use a thread sealer on them - air leak prevention! Cheers, Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C. BT7 tri
