    Fitting a 4 point harness

    I did big time, couldn't reach feck all after I fitted 'em in my old hybrid. Sat there almost held captive in my own motor.

    seat belt fixings

    In the back of my old series 2, I fabbed some up from 80mm x 80mm RSA with a drilled plate (8mm) that spanned the tub corners at 45 degrees. You can see them in my pic.......

    Timing

    I once had a distributor pinch bolt clamp that had stretched just enough to bugger my timing after reset as it wouldn't quite tighten fully on the clamp (as the faces had met) but it had tightened on the nut and bolt fully. Worth considering perhaps.

    Good sound advice which just about sums it all up for competent DIY.

    MIG welding kit - advice

    The clarke 150te is adequate and trusty, my mig is a ERP 150 turbo (re-badged sealey) and it does the job for me although I use my arc welder if the steel is thick enough without burning through. As for a mask, true fusion will do a reasonable one (variable shade with spare lenses for about...

    Bloody springs again

    All I can suggest is to measure the hole centres for the spring mounts then check the dimensions are correct against a chassis diagram, as jamesmartin points out, it could be an incorrectly placed mount from previous work.

    flat spot on acceleration

    Weber is probably sucking air in on the spindle, my old series 2 weber did this and that was fine with a little choke too.

    a serious but mad question ?

    I agree, rear mounted would be better with the engine, gearbox and the rest of the Landy in counter balance. Perhaps an "A" frame jib fabbed up from maybe 80 x 40 shs, pivotting on at the least m24 high tensile bolts from lugs on the rear cross member with "dog leg" stops resting up against the...

    steering seixed

    If you can, remove the arm from the steering relay located in the front cross member of the chassis, this may give you some degree of movement on the wheels and there's a good chance that the seizure may be in the relay.

    Clutch Gearbox problem..

    All this reminds me of my old series two gearbox back in 2005, all I had was drive in 3rd and 4th and couldn't get owt else. I opted for a box exchange on a recon unit. I hadn't time to strip the box as my problem was layshaft related and I needed it on the road quick sharp.

    Advice in cleaning fuel tank and radiator

    For the inside of the removed fuel tank (with the sender removed) I would firstly give it a swill out with half a gallon of clean petrol to remove any loose deposits (you can store and re-use that fuel for cleaning other stuff so it isn't wasted), then I would use half a gallon of acetone based...

    Advice from the expert.

    If you do go to look at a chassis then it will be because it sounds like a viable option which will be down to the sellers description. I wouldn't even consider buying anything should the seller raise an objection to hammer and large screwdriver inspection, it's a must.

    Sagging suspension

    I once experienced this on my old '59 series 2, it sagged to the drivers side rear and the largest leaf seemed "flatter" than the corresponding passenger side. The leaf had indeed suffered a fracture directly below the centre of the axle. This was the opportunity for me to fit paras and...
