SHyslop, to answer your questions: 1) I had previously checked the carburettor and all seemed to be OK with the operation of the piston, so I don't think it is that; but worth another check. When I was checking the mixture setting the piston was falling back OK and no catching anywhere. 2) As for st...

The AC Type T Fuel Pump has been rebuilt with an ethanol resistant diaphram and fitted. She now starts up fine and runs well, but when I take her out for a test drive she is still under powered, pops and bangs but will occasionally run OK but then back to below par again. Having done everything on t...

Thanks for all the responses and having blown through the fuel lines and checked the carb it turns out it must be the fuel pump. So now I am awaiting delivery of a repair kit for the AC Type T pump. That will then hopefully cure the problem as she starts with the float bowl full, so everything from ...

OK, the problem seems to have solved itself after establishing that it was lack of fuel feed from the tank as the car started and ran OK with the float bowl filled, but the fuel pump was still dry. So having worked back to where the rubber fuel pipe connected to the metal feed line, I blew through t...

However, she did eventually clear herself and we made it back OK. I suspected it may be...

So I can see the benefit of having a rubber seal on the front edge but am surprised if a) it would fit on the sides and b) whether it would be more of a hinderance than a help. I think I'll lo...

With the sunroof open and viewed from the top I can see a series of fixing holes around the perimeter, so am I missing a seal or something?

Many thanks SHyslop for the pictures and the text. I am currently trying a repair to the very slight tear in the corner on the leading edge of the fixed roof section using a leather sealant/filler, which I am hopefull will do the job. But ideally I would like to glue the underside of the overlap (if...

Now all sorted thanks to Mike at Meteor Spares who had a set on the shelf!
