shortly. I will have to return to the store in the morning, I bought a 1/2
size die piece need a 5/8.

Fellow Listers,
I have a 70 Spitfire MK3 that I have extensively modified with GT6 stuff. It
has rotoflex axles, a GT6 OD gearbox and 455 late Spitfire Diff. She runs
real nice and is a terror on the autocross course. The main problem that has
me stumped is that at speed, which isn't that fast
Mike,
The cam bearings have to be installed with a special tool to keep them
square with the block. Amounts to a driver just large enough to fit inside
the bearing with a shoulder wider than the bearing. A long driver with a
self centering piece on the shaft fits the front of the block in the #1

When something (starter, lights, etc.) are performing weakly,
turn off the power and (carefully) feel all the connectors,
terminals, etc. When you feel a hot one, you've found
the culprit.

Two questions for the price of one !! :-)
First question to those who have 'remoted' the clutch slave cylinder
bleeder. Where did you find the female - female barrel connector used to
terminate the added brake line on one side and the bleeder nipple on the
other ?
Second question ... Oil coolers
Ken,
I just did this for my GT6 diff. I went to NAPA and asked for a common
sized magnetic drain plug. They were able to supply me with the drain plug,
correct sized tap and drill bit; one stop shopping.

Thanks,

I've had this exact same thing happen with a non-LBC.
Turned out to be a bad clamp on the negative battery
terminal. If I tapped on it or twisted it, it would
restore the lights, but the minute I tried the starter
(the heaviest electrical load), it would go out with a
pop.
Good luck!

It might be wise to get a low-profile plug with a hex socket in it, rather than the
traditional kind

You're looking for an open in the main ground or hot.
I'd start across the positive and negative posts of the battery itself,
and then work each leg individually. It should take you no more then
2-3 minutes to find it this way.

James,
If you've got no electrics at all, I can't think of a better approach than
to start right at the beginning - the battery. The +ve lead from there goes
to the solonoid, so check for a live there, then on to the ignition switch -
this has a multi-plug, so you can disconnect this and then che

Hello listers!...
Not having had a problem for... ... about 2 weeks... I knew one had to
rear its head.
My problem is my electrics are all dead.

but that is usual... second time lucky... turned over again - whilst the

Nolan offered some excellent suggestions for drilling
a drain hole.
And now, for us contemplating this same chore, can
you (or anyone) suggest a size for the new plug?
I suppose I can just use a standard diff filler hole
plug, but what size drill/tap do I need to use?
Or can I just buy a plumber'
I noticed the very end of my driver rear vertical links thread is stripped.
This where the shock bolts on to the part. Its just enough that I can not
get the nut to sit on correctly.
How do I repair the thread.
Thanks

A gearcase doesn't sludge up the way an engine does. The heat is less,
and there are no combustion byproducts. So you don't get the gobs of
goo like you find in an engines crankcase or pan. You will get a grey
film on everything though. This stuff doesn't respond to mild solvents
well, and gene
