    Insulation for blanked pre-heat pipe inlets?

    Hi there Having just fitted a pair of twin carbs to my bay I'm down to finishing touches. My van runs has a history of running pretty hot so whilst this might be nitpicking / worrying unduly now that the pre-heat inlets are blanked I'm looking at the tinware that used to clamp around the risers...

    Manifold torquing?!

    Hey all I was sent a pair of offset manifolds as part of the 34 ICT bundle I bought and I gotta ask since I feel like I’m being stupid: how in the hell does one go about torquing these babies up?! On the side of the manifold which leans towards the nut there’s almost no room to turn anything...

    Storing tools in the engine bay?

    It suddenly struck me that this might not be the craziest place to shove a bunch of tools and spares. Has anyone ever done this? Have any smart storage tips or photos? I’ve got a leisure battery on the other side so would have to get a. It creative to use the space above that and round by the...

    Wanted: M501 bench conversion kit

    Hey folks I know this are pretty rare but thought I'd post in case anyone has one lying around they'd be happy to part with. Bought a 67' turret top and am planning a long road trip with my wife and our newborn in the summer. Thinking we could stick the baby seat in the middle so we could all...
