Another said the standard fuel pump will be fine as SU's do not like high fuel pressure.

Re: Passenger Side Lower Front Guard Section

You'll be right Neil. Actually a relatively easy bit to play with. I don't know if it's Thompsons, but someone makes/made repair patches that cover that whole area. Unfortunately the one that is the right size that I have left over is a drivers side. Your side one went into the yute.

Re: Project 2.


These?
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the Redline site, which is rather confusing and not too user friendly, shows them out of stock. In fact they show around half their air filter assemblies out of stock. I found them on eBay but marked up by 50%.

Maybe you do things differently in WA, but here we usually ask to visit, not tell.

Well. Took it for a run. I always thought people were exagerating when it comes to the difference tripple Webers make on a red six. Was I wrong!!
Finally my little worked 186 is alive. Scary fast and responsive. What a joy.
