    cost 40 quid to go from 6 k value to 14k value plus all the effort i did restoring 18 EA 36, biggest risk i guess is fire on these older petrol mvs.

    knowing how much petrol ferrets use i wonder if after 12 seconds cranking on a open carb feed pipe u might get more fuel than that i think i would change fuel filter and blow fuel lines thru between filter and pump etc have u checked fuel pump is not leaking?

    if u use stainless steel bolts once they have heated they look like brass look quite cool.!

    depending on size of crack, i might be tempted to stop drill crack restore surface finish and treat area around exhaust pipes to high temp paint,:-D as to welding dont know!

    also make sure u have the 2 different banjo bolt washers if u cant get them heat them up and let cool slowly to soften them for reuse.

    yes people will find lots of ferrets that have botched wiring be it from wiring around convoy light by rad to smoke discharger wiring that some herbert has just cut under front wing where lead comes out of distribution block being a bit smug here as wiring on my ferret is as perfect! right just off to splice in cd player into ferret wiring loom!:-D

    how much is the comma classic oil richard?
  24. griff66
    machine mart do a 30 grade oil at a good price which would be fine for a ferret cheap enough to change every year lets be honest most ferret do a max of 400 miles a year if that!, also look at size of oil filter fitted and its surface area and do a filter wash in petrol every two oil changes.
