OK Thanks. Will give it another go tomorrow morning. Hopefully I get it in quick otherwise the standard rad is going back in. Going travelling with the car on Monday and got loads of stuff to sort out before I go and no time!

Was it just those brackets in the corner you had to chop? Or anything else?

I\'m trying to install an aluminium rad in my FD and I can\'t seem to get the front part of the rad to sit low enough. It seems to be catching on the mounting brackets at the corners on the car.
 
Anyone had a similar problem? And solution?
 
Thanks!

The solid hose is a nice idea!
 
I managed to find quite a few places that sell silicone caps, but most have large minimum order quantities. The best i\'ve found so far is a minimum order quantity of 100. It\'s only like a £5er for the smaller sizes, but for the big ones it\'s £26 for 100! Might just have to bite the bullet, and try to flog on what I have left over...

I\'m just gathering bits together for the non-sequential conversion and the guide on the rotary resurrection site says you need vacuum caps in the following sizes: 5/32”, 1/4”, and 3/8” (approx 4mm, 6mm, and 10mm)
 
Does anyone know roughly how many of each size are needed?
 
Thanks!

Could be low on gearbox oil?

Hi mate thats a good bit of info that whish i would have had that when mine went i would have given it a go, i purchsed this one for 40 delivered, its like new very good.
So would be hoping to not loose anything on it really so 40 posted fella.
 
regards

Is that £40 for the single gauge?! or for the whole instrument cluster?

Try those first and if no joy replace the rev dial mate.
 
I got a spare working one if you need, but i would just check connections on the back first.
 
regards

How much do you want for the rev dial mate, posted? Cheers.
 
 
PS. Here\'s a fix for a dodgy rev counter. I\'m just too lazy to do it.

I always get my plugs off this ebay seller, for all my cars:

£15 a plug is a joke.

While on the subject, what about the 2 restrictor pills? Do people just reuse them, or does anyone know the spec for replacement ones?

I recently bought an FD, and it already came with an aftermarket metal AST. However when I changed the coolant I noticed the quaity of the cap was really poor, and I want to replace it. The cap is almost twice a big as a standard radiator cap, and I can\'t find anywhere that sells them. Any ideas?
 
Cheers.

The bottle technique works on every car. Here it is demonstrated on a nissan. The only difference will be that on the FD you\'ll have to wait for the coolant to cool back down for the level in the bottle to go down again, as you can\'t just let it flow into the overflow tank, unless you\'ve done the AST delete mod...
