    speedo cable attaches to right side, but gear is removed thru left side

    If you do the Spitfire calipers, be sure to order the seal that goes between the caliper halves. It's not included in the rebuild kits. Some places will tell you not to split the calipers, but I've never had an issue, and it does make it easier. DO NOT REUSE THE OLD SEAL

    Don't know if you want to go this route.....but When I put the T9 in my Westfield last winter, I used the BH3 Car is LHD, so starter went on right side, and I still had to cut away a pretty good chunk of the left side starter mount to clear footwell

    if it's a type 3, the vent is top of tailshaft housing, left side, above the trans mount

    I run 91 premium non-alky in my 1600 If running pump gas, stay away from ethanol. Check your fuel cell, not all are rated for alcohol.

    Burton has 2 mounts that I looked at when putting a T-9 in my Westfield GBT9400 is listed for T9, but was wider than the tunnel I went with GB2E400, same basic unit but narrower How far apart are those mounting holes? dimensions are on Burton website

    I put a pair of these on a Formula Ford a couple of years ago, still going strong https://www.ebay.com/itm/161389461993?epid=1029951318&hash=item25938fc1e9:g:tC4AAOSwRLZUA9hy

    the top line to the header makes filling so much easier with holes in stat, the air comes out much better every manual heater valve I've used will close completely off to the races for the weekend I'll ask our engine builder if there is any internal bypass in a Kent, but I don't think so in vintage racing, most people are running stats in Kents it just makes everything simpler no need to worry about correct restrictor, or how much radiator to tape up

    Formula Fords have run for 50 years with no bypass and if you have a heater installed, and the valve is closed........

    my pre-lit Westfield measures about 126-127 without spare tire carrier, but with nose on I'd think diagonal, on it's side, would be fine

    What's the powertrain in the Stalker? How difficult to make it compliant?

    Whoever designed that original setup certainly knew how air cooled VW"s work LOL

    I've always found MM very helpful. As opposed to Victoria British, who were real idiots

    Looks like fun YEARS ago, I put a 13b in a Lotus 51, made one hell of an autocrosser Don't run it without figuring out the oil situation, or at least dumping some in the tank for insurance. I left the stock mech system on mine, never had a problem, it just uses crankcase oil.

    It looks like a Herald/GT6 upright. Everyone thinks they are the same as Spitfire, but they're not. According to Moss, the same lower trunion serves both. So, a pair of trunions 661-445 and 661-455, and 2 bushing kits 661-485 should fix you up

    I took one out of my Westfield over the winter, went hydraulic, but it's only about 48" long..... Burton has several lengths available I think this one is QCC1010 I've not seen bike stuff nearly big enough for clutch---throttle, all the time

    There was a test of oil filters on an episode of Engine Masters if you can find it. They were using a V8 on the dyno to test different brands of filter for flow rates. Testing for GPM I don't remember any of the numbers, but I'm sure ours are a lot lower A friend who builds them (FF) says he's never seen a number

    They started making these again several (10-12?) years ago. They are a better unit now. Dimensionally the same, but some casting upgrades like stronger bellhousing ears and so forth. Also uses the 2 liter thrust washer, which is a full circle setup instead of the original half circle.
