Cat amongst the pigeons stuff... but you could convert to 185' x 14's, gives you a different set of options.

I had this problem and fixed it with small syringe on the bleeder nipple and actually suck the fluid out. once started I was able to bleed it the normal way.

Boiler Plates??? please explain. Tony.

I used an air vent but in a different way. I took the centre out and put it in the lathe and bored it out to fit the gauge. I then took the useless clock out and fitted the vent there , outside diameter is the same as the clock on the S.

I've used both, electric on the Spitfire and mechanical on the 2500's . Spitfire one seemed ok but I have a dislike of things Chinese. On the 2500's I fitted Mini gauges. I prefer Smith gauges which on comparison tests seem fairly accurate. Tee'd off the oil light sender. I used 1/8 annealed copper ...

You can pick up a parts CD from Rimmer Bros. fairly cheap.

A type and J type are both overdrive 'boxes but different models. They do similar jobs but the parts are not interchangeable. Hope this doesn't confuse things further.

No matter which you choose I'd consider using a trickle charger unless you're using the car regularly .Batteries don't really like being being left partially flat.

Just be sure your brakes are adequate. They tend to get away on you if too fast down hill.
