    Dez, that isn't going to happen for a member of the public...

    Man alive, wall of text chief. You miss the point, irrespective of when you reined it in it is still fair game (in a 'gentle' way)-embrace it. Laughing at yourself, self-deprecating humour etc is a great way to show your more 'human ' side if you will. I fully expect to be mocked for Frontera ownership and owning many,many Vauxhall motors because that's a part of it, so to speak. If you didn't point out OLD 1 then it wasn't to the chagrin of anyone chap. You could have mentioned it was owned by a famous (owner) manufacturer and left it at that? You might enjoy the constant references or tenuous-type connections but, as you know, most people don't (in any subject area). Anyway...

    New lad? Joined Nov24.... I was gently poking fun at whoever said that originally...you know, because it's the done thing in a forum/group/gaggle etc. 'but we cant post about Invacars outside of this thread, because people are fragile cant handle their shit around them for some reason ' Mate, that's your fault for posting about them everywhere, all of the time! Despite being asked not to! Some leg-pulling is in order, obviously. Like me and Fronterrors..🤔😁 lol. Etc.

    Then, to paraphrase, this 'probably isn't the forum for you'. 😂

    Nah - gentle reminder/example of how things can be seen if you're not careful to qualify them. Ps - as a drum brake they're not that bad at all.

    Hmm. Really....

    We used to drill out (the centre) of tapered pegs rather than try and knock it out. Half the time you couldn't see which end was which.

    I think it's over advanced at that tbh, but I need a reliable dynamic timing setting - the manual gives static in mm blah blah. The indicator is currently on the lh side as to facilitate rh throttle, lh indicator operation - leave it there?

    Yeah, no. Front kp is hanging. Can't upload video, but it is.

    Update. It starts off key and choke, properly. It's not at 15dg btdc - I can set it to that if you wish? Sam

    Yes, yes and yes.

    Not without earplugs, a hill, and my bike leathers. Got it up to 20mph on test drive (on drive).

    As pm'd to Dez. It has an actual functional (new) throttle and choke. It has a partially unseized distributor. I'm reluctant to attempt to remove it in case it breaks.. It's appropriately tuned. It starts as it should. The braking system functions correctly, fluid was changed and cylinders filed to function on floating backplate. It stops, as well as they can. The throttle cables routing now should be ok and not likely to stick on (saved by previous hugely sticking brake system I suspect). The lethal fuel pump and pipework is mostly (as much as it can be) removed and restored to original fuel pump (mechanical). I have emptied the engine cowl as much as possible of the nuts? that were blocking fins. The Heinz 57 carb now functions and doesn't leak. It also has working accelerator pump. I will check it starts as per Monday. I will check front wheel bearing/kingpin play. I will refit rest of throttle assembly and attempt to repair the slightly butchered column switch assembly (I suspect it has been switched sides or off another vehicle). I will (correctly) refit ignition barrel after checking wiring repair still functions.

    One of each please.
