Gosh- i will have a look for some cables... the wiring was such a mess- 90% has been stripped out and there may be something like that.

yes- there is a return

Hi What does this little pot do on the top of the engine? gets the dribble from the injectors on this perkins engined 2A. there is a brass thing on top and a pipe to the tank and one to the inlet manifold-thanks in anticipation of shared wisdom.

same here

ACR conversions are good- head, cam and SU carburettor on mine- Which is for sale.

I Haven't yet investigated, BUT, when i switched on panel and interior lights in error- we got a noise like an M60 machine gun... what could it be? Quite fun really but loud and proper rat a tat... shooting up BMWs et al. Odd... (slower rate of fire compared to general)

Being of small brain long tubes bother me. the track rod we took off a 2a is 1096 long, but a spare is 1173 approx- why? i only have S3 and S2a and S1 where can i find data? the factory manual (white Book) doesn't have info. I ordered a replacement from paddock but says only use S3 TR Ends.......

Just a few images of the broken ball joint thread , something i would not have thought possible. My Very strong young Trainee told me that it must have been faulty. can you see what the cause was? hint 24 inch stilsons involved. The replacement joints were on the bench at the time...

I was going to do that but couldnt find the bottle jack. I was going to weld a cradle to support jack.

28 pound hammer!

mine jumps out going up hill in third- always has done....

Just looked on internet and it looks like about 26 tonnes to pull it- possibly a bit more to start it off. .bolt and washers well lubricated.

HI the previous owner had cut a section out of front cross member to try to lube the idler which was seized. we tried jacking with steel on the shaft and a 28 pound hammer (they do exist) Nothing moved but the chassis bent. Then we decided to rebuild the relay with new parts from a new relay. so...

We have just done that... Never again comes to mind.

Well we have stripped down a new one- have a tools but still cannot get it together- any one know of a film on youtube or similar?
