1. Rebuilding glass bowl fuel pumps (score: 1)
Author: jey@frame.com (Jeff Young)
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 95 20:58:35 PST
This probably applies to any pot-metal fuel pump with press-in valves. In my case, it's off a Ford Kent that used to be in someone's Cortina but now lives in my Ginetta. So I got a nice rebuild kit a

I've got a '65 Ginetta G4 that I'm taking vintage racing when I finish restoring it. It's got a Spridget live rear axle with 7" drum brakes. Or at least they normally do (that is, the ones that didn'

My Ginetta needs a proper (~ '65 period) bellhousing and clutch operation pieces. I've got the clutch itself (non-platen type), the flywheel, and an Elan semi-close box. I'll be buying a TO bearing a

Does anyone know where I can get striped wire? (That's striped as in pinstriping, not stripped as in nude). Specifically, I'm looking for (16 guage for both): Green with a purple stripe (brake lights

Along with Fiat-itis comes Ferrari-itis: there is a rubber hose union in the pipe between the oil pump and the pickup: any holes or cracks in the rubber will move the pickup point above the oil level

7. Ginetta questions (score: 1)
Author: jey@frame.com (Jeff Young)
Date: Wed, 5 Oct 94 00:37:13 PDT
It depends on which Ginetta. They've made about 25 different models starting in the middle '50s. I think some of the old ones are still available "new", as are several new models. The two most commo

'71 TR6 with some front-end damage for sale in San Jose. I've got a two-year old estimate on fixing the damage (all to the body-work) for around $2000. It could also use an engine rebuild at some poi

Author: jey@frame.com (Jeff Young)
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 94 20:59:57 PDT
All the problems I've ever had with my TR6 have been electrical. On the other hand, it seems like the ignition should be under higher stress at high RPM rather than around 3000. I'd still check the

I've owned 2 Esprits, an 85 Turbo and an 89 Turbo SE. I've also driven a non-turbo. Personally, I like throttle response, and the turbos don't have it. They are ungodly fast (particularly the SE). I

When my TR6 does this (which is often), it is usually because the cheap plastic "tappet" following the distributor cam has melted enough to reduce the point gap to nothing. Interestingly, it usually

What is the correct color for a '65 1500cc Ford Kent engine block? The one I have from a Cortina GT appears to have some redish paint on it. Anyone know if that is correct, and if so, what shade of r

Author: jey@frame.com (Jeff Young)
Date: Mon, 16 May 94 16:25:13 PDT
If the grinding occurs when in gear (or neutral), and not when going into gear, it's more likely to be the throw-out bearing than the tranny. This is particularly likely after a clutch replacement.

Two votes for high-quality bolts (I'm getting brand new ones) and tightening them properly. Sounds like the beginning of consensus. I'll give that three votes. Any thoughts on thread-locker compounds

One other thing I forgot. Early on in my Ginetta restoration attempt, I tried to find bushings for its rear end. I called around several racer shops in the area, all who took a look and told me I wa

Interestingly, the Ginetta uses the Lotus' a-arm length (1 3/8") for the trailing arms and the a-arm. (My first email listed an incorrect OD of 1 1/8", they are indeed 1 1/16" as the Seven's.) Do yo
