Sounds great.

Sorted now, thanks all

Hi all

I have a 1990 Talbot Express motorhome 2.5 none turbo Diesel. I had the fuel injector pump reckoned by Swad diesels because it leaked a bit of fuel, so its virtually a new pump. I need a mechanic to time the pump to the engine doing a spill test method on number one piston? so I'm told. Is there anyone on here that could come and do it? I would pay for your time no problem. I have a holiday booked for the 2nd Sept.

 Remember this one from last year, well a B40 does fit into a D7 frame with a bit of chopping  . Not sure how the finished project will look like i.e. trials, road scrambler etc, but it should be good when I've finished it.

Geoff - I cut these today, it was hard to start off but once it got started it was ok. 304 grade

Grade 303 is fine for machining on the lathe, here's one I made earlier.

My two Bantam trials bikes are fine with E10, E10 petrol has been in the tanks for 12 months without any issues.

I bought both 3/16 26tpi & 3/16 32tpi CEI taps to be on the safe side one will defiantly be correct when they turn up. I also have the 2ba tap just in case.

There's quite a few shops selling them (classic bike shop, Feked etc) as 3/16 26tpi, I do also have another brake rod from A D7 Bantam which is 1/4 26tpi CEI.

Hi Julian

I'm just going by this from Feked, I have the brake rod and wanted to make my own adjuster nut which I thought must obviously be 3/16" CEI 26tpi tap but I was told there isn't such a thing and it is 3/16" 32tpi.

Hi all

Is there a 3/16" 26tpi CEI tap available? I see on some sites that there is but others say there isn't, they say it's 3/16" 32tpi.

Ran that one for over five years until I sold it and he still rides it dry with the occasional lubrication 4 years later.

I drained all the oil out of one of my C15's all together, I was fed up with the puddle of oil on the floor. I just lubricated it every now and then, and yes a dry clutch which worked without any issue.

Wonder how long it's been laid up
