Re: 1938 "10" Seats

Ask the specialists: Mike Couldry, Mike Evans, Freddy Boulton - they may have it. Also the RSR stores.

Re: Rear Spring shackle

The lower pin oil is fed from the top pin through the shackle, to a hole drilled near its top. Your spring pin is installed correctly. See more here: http://wp.me/pXLKy-gE

Re: Fuel union on P2

Sorry to repeat myself, but the way to focus on the source of the problem is to use alternatives: Alternative petrol supply (gravity fed! no problem to do that if the car is static) alternative distributor, coil etc.

Re: Fuel union on P2

The following picture will help you with the names of the parts: https://lulisml.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/dky4h-a.jpg You can solve the issue quite simply: remove the cam and turn it by 180 degrees.

Re: rear diff oil seal

Often it is not enough to replace the seal, but you must also replace the collar.

Re: Fuel union on P2
