I would like to know how they got it through crash testing?

Ken Costello V8 B's were very much better than anything BL made and a lot faster!

Send me the sizes and I will check my stock. I have never heard of a non standard size O ring and I have been working with them for over 45 years!

Could have a 4 litre engine!

When I worked in Africa the workshop temperature was average 120F and the inspection room was 70F! We used to have a conversion chart so we could make the tolerances on the drawings. Assembly could be a nightmare when fitting bronze bushes into steel!

I would go with a 6BA stepped stud. That way you are not removing anymore material.

Why do offspring think they are entitled to inheritance? My parents left me sod all and I don't feel obliged to leave any money to family dependents.

Yes I agree. Working on early french cars has made my collection of metric taps and dies bigger than all my other taps and dies. I have 5 different size M10 taps!

It's for a pair of Cozette Blowers which are French, which is why it's an odd metric size!

I know!!!

Anyone know a supplier of these please?

Military packings used to put the item in a box and then pour molten grease into the box.

Have you checked the brushes? Bosch grinders have a sprung loaded pin in the brushes, when it wears down the pin pops out and lifts the brush.

Do you know what is in the caustic solution?

In the oil industry they have pipe lathes with spindle bores up to 18"!

Try a piston clamp

None! The skin on my hands is very thick & tough and I lack sensitivity to hot surfaces. On the odd occasion when I have visited A&E to have cuts stitched up they curse like made as they struggle to get the needle through my skin!
