we have a MOT

it's back on the road. there is still some more work to do but there are all way bits to do on a kit car
I have not been out in it yet to see how well it runs but when I went for the MOT the gear change was a lot better
it was raining so could not test the 1.8 vvc

Great news, just have to wait for some dry weather.......

Great you are back on the road. There is a rumour that summer will be coming soon so should be some opportunities to try it out!

Good news Paul, well done mate!

I would like to Thank you all for your help
I hope to get out in it someday soon

back on page 10 I found the latch hits the head



I was going to dump it and make a new catch from a bearclaw latch from CBS.
but I fixed the problem by mounting the boot latch on top of the bracket this lifted the latch so it now misses the cylinder head.
this works fine all I had to do was wind the spring in a bit to bring the boot down





the cable for the boot latch runs inside the cover and out the end, I might have to get a new cable.
when I started the engine the cable was sitting on the exhaust manifold and melted the outside plastic
it does work ok still but might rust one day

I have not done much to the car but have had a go at the hardtop that came with my car this
did not fit so had to cut and make it fit. its is all so yellow so will need a paint

Hi,

I have started work on the hardtop which came with my car

I have fitted an mgf heater control vale to my car to stop the heater being on all the time

see video

can anyone help what would be the best thing to use
on the rubber bushes to stop it squeaking

regards
paul

It may not be the bushes. My K3 squeaked like hell before I took it to pieces and it turned out to be the back of the front subframe rubbing on the body tub. Just check for clearance first.

hi
I went to fill the car up with petrol but could not get the pump nozzle in the car very well
when I got home I found that the Ultra Flexible Fuel Filler Hose that I got from car builder solutions
has a rubber-like inner inside it looks like it has come away from the outer so I can not get the pump nozzle in
I have not had it on the car for long

does anyone know how Flexible the BLACK SILICONE Fuel Filler Hose is that they sell
or any type of hose which will do the job

paul.

If you haven't had it long I would be contacting the sellers....not fit for purpose sales of goods act, refund.......??

Fuel filler pipes usually last longer than the cars they are fitted to.

I would look for a genuine, car part,(Ford,Vaxhall,Rover Etc) that will do the job, I know you have an alloy tank and modded fuel system, so you will know what is likely to fit/angle/bends required etc.
