Mechanical Fuel Pump Differences
We took Rusty Custard out for a blast yesterday, started using the rev band properly. At high revs in the intermediate gears, the engine stutters. From previous experience we reckon that it’s fuel starvation. This is where I need your help. The car has the ‘metal top’ mechanical fuel pump used on la...

Re: Rusty Custard
In the absence of any pre-formed panels, our body man has fabbed up some Sections from scratch and let them in. He’s also added metal back to the door edges and n/s rear wing. Now for the paintwork.

Re: Rusty Custard
Co-owner Martin fired up the Custard Tart today and took her out for a drive, her first run since we did the cylinder head, carbs and dizzie rebuild. Also since we switched the rear springs and differential. He planned on a short 4ish mile loop but was enjoying himself so much that he ended up takin...

Re: Rusty Custard

The current H4/H1 headlamps have some cheapo Halfrauds bulbs. But I fitted Osram Nightbreaker + bulbs to my Stag b...

Re: Rusty Custard
You can’t see from the pictures, but each of the individual light has a separate earth lead. I like the idea of running lines directly back to the Battery earth. Something for the future perhaps.
