Re: New Car Restoration Show for ITV Looking to Help [email protected]

The reply I had to my email was from someone called Jordan

He just said that he'd love to have a quick chat with me on the phone about my car

Quick chat :? I thought that was a rather odd thing to say

Re: Dizzy Talk

Not one of those quotes are me calling you names! If you think that's name calling then i'm sorry, but i speak my mind and this entire thread is a farce, to me it's a joke even talking about torqueing a dizzy bolt, but whatever. All of those quotes are abusive & offensive Paul I am a gentleman ...

"beyond rational help"

"nip up bolts like a sane person"

"you are absolutely barking"

"there is no reasoning with Peter"

Re: Dizzy Talk

Here we are again :roll: Another snipe endlessly at Peter & blame it all on Peter thread :? The sniping coming predominantly from one source All I wanted to know in the first place is whether there is a method of torqueing down the distributer on a Mk1 without taking the cap off Seems not then :-k

Re: Dizzy Talk

It's a distributor bolt. :| Would you torque up oil pump bolts? I'm umming and rrr-ing about that at the moment... Provided you know the correct setting & also provided your wrench is capable of being set down to a low enough setting, then the answer is simple YES :D You have gone off topic wit...

Re: Dizzy Talk

I'm quite relaxed about most people being out of step with me on the issue of the distributer setbolts

I'll carry on doing what I do

Some others may want to use their grannie's old Whitworth open ended :?:

Yes I'll certainly be cracking on Paul

Hopefully I'll get some positive responses to my original post in contrast to the negative ones

One thing I will own up to :

I'm very very determined & persistent

You ought to know that by now surely :)

Re: Dizzy Talk

If folk don't want to tighten nut/bolts with a torque wrench that's OK with me

It's up to the individual

Abusive personal comment is another matter altogether Alex [-X
