So back on it again, whilst the zook was sat I decided to freshen up the metal surrounds on the high level spot lights,

Image

Image

They were defiantly starting to look scabby, so I whipped them off, blasted them and painted them....

Much better!

Image

Today I also decided to fit my new 90degree adaptor.....

This is my old one
Image

Notice the lack of bolt at the bottom nub,

And my replacement
Image

I tried fitting my shaft and distributer into the new housing but it wouldn't slide in,

I checked and.....
My old
Image

And my replacement,
Image

It looks like my replacement has a smaller hole in the bottom than my original. Did they do different sized distributer shafts? Did it change from 1298cc engine to 1324cc? Or have I got an adaptor from something like a 410?

It made it here fine,

I cleaned it up a bit, & gave it a bit of a polish (oh-er) but I didn't go over the top, it's not like I'll give it any attention when it's fitted,

Image

I lined up my collection of adaptors,

Image

I was going to use the o ring from the adaptor which had the smaller diameter hole, but when I got it out it broke as it had gone brittle. I did order a new o ring but it seemed a little bit small. When the old one broke I was forced to use it, I had to heat it up and pull it a bit to get a t to stay in its groove as it kept trying to roll out.

But then, it all went together

Image

I had to set the timing again but damn, it's good to be back on the road!
