KruJoe Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yes, I think I got that turning to pull out the sender. From memory, it's a black plastic ring with the thread on the outside, and maybe about 10 of those teeth things on the inside, which help us turn it.

KruJoe Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Right, I'll have a look at the links shortly and make a decision... After that, I'll go up to the shed with the camera and check out the sender fittings for Tim. sporty-shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Does anyone have some fine (paper) filters like these, which they could bring this weekend? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Universal-Petrol-Inline-Fuel-Filter-LARGE-Car-Part-Fit-6mm-and-8mm-Pipes-/221148063712?hash=item337d73a7e0:g:8esAAOSwYHxWP3Hq (preferably clear ones so we can see what's going on inside.) Please shout up if so. If not, I'll grab them for £3 tonight. Currently fitted is a gauze one I had with me at Shitefest, but it's not very fine, I'm afraid small lumps might get through it and undo Strangeangel's hard work on the carb.

KruJoe Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Ha ha no worries Tim. Ouch... Meriva... I feel your pain. Here's some pics for you, hope they don't give you nightmares: Obviously our securing ring isn't in place just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yup looks good, it'd just want the filter swapping over. KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Any interest in a slightly scruffy, slightly damaged but correct mk1 rear bumper FOC?

KruJoe Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Ooh, good find Barrett!I'd say yes please, but I'm not an owner. Let's wait for them to chime in.

Dave_Q Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I am also not an owner, but I say YES PLS to the free and suitably brown bumper. strangeangel and KruJoe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holbeck Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I would say yes to the free brown bumper. Maybe Egg could be persuaded back into ownership if the bumper was close to him even if the rest of the car is up north. Seriously, surely some sort of random shite relay could deliver that bumper.

strangeangel Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 What else was on our shopping list, Jaz? Sorry, Joe, I've not been very motivated this week. The shopping list was/is: the aforementioned rada water pump (cos, while the original does work, we suspect it's as corroded as lots of the other alloy bits of the engine)beltsfuel filters (which I see you have)fuel sender (as above)air filter element If we're still on for Sunday I shall bring spray wax for the fuel/brake lines, and some contact cleaner to try and improve the operation of that beam switch. It would also be good if we could get the electric windows functioning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Welll, I persuaded Will to fix the front end and run it about for a couple weeks before he buggered off to the foreign, which he did. Which is nice. My most recent photo: ...in which the back end has sunk whilst running... you may just see the stream of green from under the sill as it dumps its load. Bloody thing. I thought it'd do it good to come out for a warm up and a photo once in a while. That'll teach me.

KruJoe Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I had that set of 14" trims from a broken 214, I put them on just to troll Will. He didn't come up with owt better, so they remain. StangeAngel has since donated some better ones, so they'll likely happen. YES we're still on for Sunday. Anyone who'd like to attend, please PM me for directions if you don't already have 'em.
