Re: Oil Filter Query

I managed to Change the Oil & Filter last Friday in line with the Workshop Manual and tgr747's Instructions, so thanks :) It wasn't all plain sailing though :cry: I tried to undo the pipe Union and the filter adapter started to spin too! I had to scrounge a suitable adjustable spanner off my Father-...

They re-commissioned/restored an original low mileage White Tiger (18K Miles) to a good standard and I had chance to see the Car when finished, I hav...

I didn't realize that the Centre pipe Union and adaptor needed undoing to release the old Oil Filter?

I thought the Oil Filter screwed onto the Adaptor/Aluminium housing :shock:

I think I understand what your saying, any idea what size the Fibre washer is I need to replace?

Re: Dynamo Clearance Issues

I did some further investigation at the weekend, with the car jacked up on Axle stands I could see the PO Martin had fitted some Stainless Steel Heat Shields between the Exhaust Manifolds and the Engine Block to protect the Engine Mounting Rubbers presumably, these appear to raise the Engine 3 or 4m...

Re: Correct Period Radio for a Tiger

One of my other Jobs completed in 2019 on my Tiger, a period Radio.
