AC glass bowl fuel pump

I'm looking for a rubber gasket for an AC glass bowl fuel pump. This is the gasket that seals the glass bowl to the body of the pump. Anyone have one lying around or know where I can get one? Thanks.

Lotus Cortina starter

I am progressing with the twin cam install into my MK2 Cortina GT. The twin cam I have has a flywheel on it with 110 teeth and the two starters I have are 11 teeth. My GT motor appears to have 132 teeth, which is where the starters I have came from. From what I have read these are not compatible and...

Thanks Pete, I am attempting another option, I have drilled and tapped the wiper arm with the aluminum retainer inside it. I plan on pushing this onto the shaft, whilst supporting the inside assembly and then screwing a grub screw into the tapped hole. I have the screw underneath the arm so as to li...

Cortina MK11 windshield wipers.

Has anyone figured out an effective way of getting their wipers to remain on the splined shaft coming out of the bulkhead attached to the wiper mechanism? I'm not sure if other fords have the same bad design, I'm at the stage where I dare not turn the wipers on because I've had to stop and run back ...

Lap 2000 linkage

I am installing a LP 2000 linkage to a pair of weber 40's on my MK2 Cortina. Does anyone have any experience with these linkages? The carb end seems pretty straight forward but I can't seem to figure out the pedal end. Not entirely sure how the block attaches to the pedal so that the twin cables att...

Thanks again for the advice, funny enough it started working just after your reply, I think the clock saw what I did to his buddy and decided it would be healthier to start working again :lol:

I appreciate that, I have one more spare one and my good one, they all look the same with no 'keyway', be interesting to see if there is a different version. I guess I could bend the bezel a little more carefully but I am reluctant to. The clocks I have are from a 68, 69 and a 1970. It seems that a ...

Ok, next stupid question, how do you remove the bezel? Seems to be crimped over the main casing

Needle valve float setting

Hi, does anybody know the correct float settings for a pair of Weber twin 40's on a Lotus twin cam? Thank you. I have read somewhere 8.5mm and 15mm, however I have also found contradictions to those measurements.
