Re: Fb horn not working

I can get the horn to work by making contact with steering shaft under the horn button, so why won’t it be working when I press the horn then??? Thanks again for your help.

Over flow hose

Just wondering what everyone is using for the over flow hose from the top of the radiator to out the bottom of the engine bay. I got some vacuum hose but was hoping there was something that looked a bit more original.

Selector shaft seal help

Hi guys, I need to replace my selector shaft seal and was wondering if you can just unscrew the 3 retainer bolts and remove the retainer while the gearbox is still in the car?
Also is the seal fitted from the inside of the retainer?[*]

Re: 1/4 vent window help

It is the frame mounted tube that has snapped the off, the handle and button assembly snap off from the window frame. Can this be fixed without sourcing a replacement 1/4 vent window?
Thank heaps for your help!

Re: Replacing fibre timing gear help

I can't get any out yet Blacky, they all come up a little then get stuck. It's been parked up for over 20 years and looks like there has been no major work done to the engine, can that be why there's a buildup on the lifters? How can I get the lifters out without damaging them so I can reuse them if...
