With your lamp problem, would it help to wire the lamp in parallel rather than in series?
Just a thought.
Sorry Scottie22, don't think I understand
The problem with the lamps is to do with the design pattern in the glass, they are Deffo for left hookers. Not a problem as CBS do them for about 20 quid each
Perhaps I misunderstood, I thought you said the engine carried on running but stopped when you pulled a bulb out?
If that was so it may be that the bulb was wired in wrongly?
Try giving these fellas a ring, I found their details on the net.
Apparently they do a remote bias adjuster system for around 40 quid!
You just bolt it on.
I would have though that you need to increase the pressure on the front brakes, rather than decrease it on the rear. There seem to be plenty of cheap bias adjusters on the net that let you do just that, dial up what you want, where you want?
Sorry for the late reply, I added an adjustable proporsioning valve for the Rees. Once found the correct balance, drilled thru and removed the knob so it's disabled as its not allowable under IVA to be adjustable
I had no end of problems with the rod-shift in mine as it was like "think of a gear", which is why i switched to the cable operated and after that it was SO much more precise.
It is cable operated. Was ok when 1st started driving, now I can't put it into reverse without turning the engine off, put it into reverse and then starting up again!?
Vacuum gauge has arrived, so once I have done some garden chores, I will be tuning the carb then give the car a good clean inside and out and it the weather stays nice, might go for a spin around the villages near me
