Hi Pete needs the timing setup and the engine checked over brakes bleeding and clutch bleeding carb tuned and electrics all sorted and tested cheers Tom

I would be happy to help one evening next week, I have a good advanced timing light, powerprobe, multimeter, HT lead testers etc and feeler gauges for valve clearances, I am a sparky by trade so that bit is easy for me but I am not too bad at setting SU carbs up, single or twins, certainly get you a driveable car as close as possible with home kit until its settled in and ready for a proper tune anyway. Bleeding brakes and clutch wont take long, famous last words.

You can get different seal sizes from Phoenix if it helps, I asked and they said if I close door flush with plasticine and let them know thickness they would advise best seal for application

Mine has come to a complete standstill as i have nowhere and no time to work on it.

It's currently sat outside under a tarpaulin.

New house is nice but i hate not having a garage...
