Steering rack alternative
Can someone advise on the options for an alternative steering rack apart from an early midget, to go with MGB steering arms. I heard an early ford rack would do but not sure which. A MK1 escort looks promising but a quick rack with a 2.5 end to end may fit but that ratio is a bit high and the rest a...

I have exactly the same problem. The issue is the dual points. If you put a piece of card between one set of points you will find it works fine. The answer is electronic ignition. My rev counter was rebuilt and upgraded to cope with electronic ignition. If your rev counter hasn't been upgraded you m...

Good news, Black Diamond has contacted us and is sending us the correct replacement. They have also asked if anyone knows when the rear hose changed. They want this to update their details so everyone gets the correct hoses. Would I be correct in saying SI & SII have short and long on each end, all ...

Mallory dual point, Pertronix and rev counter problem
FYI, if you have a dual point dizzy and it's not perfectly set up your electronic rev counter will not work correctly. If the rev counter is good it will likely only read up to about 3K. To test it, put a piece of card in one set of points and check the difference. I've just had a recon rev counter ...

Thanks Lou, I'll get hold of them too. Ive yet to to fit the rear. I must say the reviews Ive read about Black Diamond are good I just think they've got the spec wrong for the rear. Ive turned the fronts round as Mr.Red advised, did a track day and had no problems with the hoses or fluid even though...

Hi David, Yes all three are the same one threaded end is longer than the other on the new ones. Over the past 30 years I don't remember ever having a copper washer and short end on the calliper end of the hose but then that maybe more to do with my memory. If it works like that I'll swap them round....

The ones I took off have two long ends and seated inside the calliper not on the face. My concerns with using the short end on the calliper is the possibility of trapping air at the joint. The new rear hose is the same as the front ones. This then may not fit. I haven't looked yet. I've got the fron...

Brake hose copper washer
I've just bought some braided stainless hoses for standard callipers. The thread seems too short to bottom out in the calliper or it may just be long enough but is supplied with copper washers. I assume the washers are to seal the hose to the calliper but if the taper does not mate will this cause p...
