Tramps Truck,

[ROBBIE]

I might have one, if I find it I will pack it with the other bits

[Tramp]

If you have Robbie, that would be great!

So back to the o ring, the distributer o ring is part number 09280-56004, it is 1.9mm cross section with 55.5 inside diameter measurement, I've just ordered one,

I just used hylomar. Worked a treat.

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





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

Much better!



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

This is my old one


Notice the lack of bolt at the bottom nub,

And my replacement


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

I checked and.....
My old


And my replacement,


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?

Could well be off a different engine.

I have loads of these if you want me to send you one?

It'll get there, honestly.

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,



I lined up my collection of adaptors,



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



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

[ROBBIE]

Nice, glad it's all sorted and back on the road
