Re: SEV Fuel Pump, service or replace

Hi Guys, My two peneth: The Citroen 2cv uses is similar pump, it is low profile, in its assembled form the fuel pipes are in the wrong position, but I believe it is a simple operation to remove the top body and rotate it, the bolts are in an arrangement that will allow this. The QH pump has part pla...

Re: Nose leg to Bungee mod

Hi Ronald, Yes, the top hat is made from 4130 and requires welding together. Only one 1080 bungee required. I am looking into an alternative to the Neiman rings for the nose gear, just need to do a load test and put a mod' request in! The LAA are abysmally slow in processing mod's. The nose gear Nei...

Re: Nose leg to Bungee mod

Hi,
You will need to change the “top hat” on the top of the nose leg which I can supply for £125. You will need to get the 1080 bungee.
I am having trouble getting the modification paperwork from the LAA at the moment, but hopefully will have it soon.
Regards

Re: 1834cc Engine for sale

Hi,
Sorry, only just found your message. Yes, still available, but I have offered it to someone else. I will get back to you. I do have the parts to build another one, it could include the CBR alternator but without the Leburg controllers & coils.
