- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: P2 14 questionsThanks for the reply. Yes, I have considered reinstating the Luvax system, most of it seems to still be there, I wonder why it was disconnected? Leaks presumably. For now I'll keep it as it is as there is enough to do already. A new loom for example, are they available anywhere?If nobody makes an […]lincsnick
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: P2 14 questions3/8" BSF from memory. I think your intention is to keep using the nipples but : If you buy new metering units (IB) which are 1/8" BSP, they recut to the right thread with only a decent die required.

When I re-fitted the engines of both my cars I don’t recall the rubbers being different thicknesses for top and bottom, but my inclination would be to put the thicker at the bottom as that takes the most weight and I’m wondering now if mine are […]TonyG
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Gearbox a bit too highYou were right Tony,When I replaced the rubber mountings there were no part numbers on the items and I put the thicker ones on the bottom, looking back at my video I and see that the new ones are significantly thicker and that is the cause of the air filter rubbing on the bonnet. The […]Willem
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Gearbox a bit too highThank you for your thoughts Tony, you have given me some thing to check, the engine did go back to the correct height etc, the odd thing is that the starter handle now touches the radiator, again, it didn't do that before, the old girl is putting up a fight but I will win, (eventually)All […]Willem
