    There is the Foose Way running South from the airport. Apart from the ford halfway along the byway it's hardly worth the visit, apart from short cut maybe

    I used to run what ever was going on the engine on the v8 SU s(so 20W was been used) Sounds like the right stuff then. Must be the 3 in 1 is thinner so allows the piston/needle to rise quicker Good to see your still progressing with the project.

    I did spray the lock with brake cleaner and worked the catch a little. Then I loosened the stricker a little, just to give it a little movement, and I shut the door a few times to line up the catch and then retightened the stricker.
