Re: SP250 Retrofit lap seatbelt

I shaped a piece of stainless steel to fit the curve of the wheel arch, from memory about 3" by 4" which is just the same anchor method that is used by Morgan and their wooden wheel arches.
I also think Wilf Stephens used the same method.

Re: V8 reluctant to idle below 800 RPM (air leak?).

Mark It sounds to me as if the butterflies either one or both are not seating properly. take out the pistons and have a look.
You will be able to see quite clearly.

Dart Heater Transfer pipes

I am just looking at DM Stainless Steel Heater transfer pipes and it appears from the pictures on Ebay that they do not have a belling on the end to accommodate the flexible hoses. The ones I am taking off which are steel do have the swelling.
Question is does it matter?
Anyone know.

Replacing flexible coolant pipes SP

I am going to replace all the flexible pipes in the cooling system of my SP250 and I wonder whether it is possible without removing the carbs.
Can anyone advise me? and any other tips would be useful.

Re: looks like a bargain

Oh dear what have I started!..It still looks like a bargain if only I had seen it before I paid out much more money for mine.
