Re: rear disc conversion

I believe if you have the single handbrake cable they should connect up fine, but if you have the double handbrake cables from a later spanish model, muddyzook sell a connector for that One thing to bear in mind is that Rover 600 calipers are dead easy to buy new, but the mounts for the calipers are...

Re: Clutch for Samurai

If the cable tension is different you might have broken something inside the clutch.

Re: Steering bar ,zbar

When I've done it before, kept the steering arm centered and measured from there. There won't be adjustment to be done on the tie rod.

Re: 1600 8 valve fuel pump for su carb

Basically, leave the pump and hoses how they were standard.... lol
The small outlet for fuel overflow on the SU just needs to go to a low point on the vehicle.

Re: 1600 8 valve fuel pump for su carb

Yes, the stock pump regulates the pressure for the carb. The SU uses similar fuel pressure to the stock carb, so will work fine. The facet type electric fuel pump will naturally limit its pressure. When pressure builds up inside the pump, the diaphragm will do less work and create less pressure. The...

All diodes (I think) are one w...

Re: suzuki sj xenon hid kit

You are using just the standard wiring for them? Probably not letting enough power through the 30 year old corroded wires.
