The 289 Register

I used a 3.3:1 which I sources through simply performance. Gerry had recommended 3.3:1 powerlock which was hard to locate. In the end Simply Performance got hold of a 3.54 and arranged for an ex Lister Jag gearbox specialist to change the crown wheel to male that 3..3:1. I can't comment on other rat...

A bit late but I just popped the tap into my battery drill and drilled the tap into the hole. It took seconds to tap each hole and worked well. Studs screwed in easily and held firm.

A late update but just to say the couple of bits of angle iron on symmetrical prop bolts sorted the problem. Recalibrated to now work on 2 pulses per rotation rather than 4 (takes a minute only) and now spot on. My prop bolts appear ok. I bought bolts specifically for the hole size and cut to length...

I fitted the studs into the body first. Then you position the hood, mark where the lift-a-dots need to go with chalk and then punch the hole in hood to fit the lift-a-dot. To fit studs drill and tap the fibreglass as per the markings. The studs then screw in nicely.

Late reply - I got bolts from local specialist bolt shop (permafast) and cut length to size to suit diff/prop. Its a bit of an awkward job to get the bolts in and the nut on. Bolt has to go thru from the prop shaft side as not space to get in from the diff side. Was not aware of special Jag bolts? M...

Thanks - MGB wheel it is I think!

Sorted!

Wanted - spare wheel When I bought my wheels I only got 4 plus an aerosol repair can, and so am now on the hunt for a proper spare, to fit the splined hubs that come with the Hawk front / Jag rear suspension. As its a spare it does not need to be pristine - so long as it can get me out of trouble ol...
