Re: SP250 Retrofit lap seatbelt

Re: Fancy a Front Roll Bar? here's how

Nice job Dave. I have been looking at roll bar on mine and interestingly have ended up with something quite similar. About only difference is I'm going to use the pinch bolt to do both retain the arm and clamp. Originally I was going to use tube close to bore size of cross tube, but quite alot of fo...

Re: SP250 Front crankshaft leak

Thank you Ian That is interesting. The previous day the car was parked in my drive nose down for some time. It was then driven 100 ft. or so and left in my garage .

Re: Pushrod lengths

Maybe your spare pushrods are from a saloon motor.

I estimated 11 from my photos :oops: As it's installed now I can't say for certain but I can confirm it works perfectly. I've wired mine as pre-engaged. I found fitting the top bolt a ...

Re: starter pinion tooth count

The old starter on my SP had 10 teeth, but the part number lists it as from an Austin Westminster! The new WOSP high torque pre-engaged starter has 11 teeth.
