Many thanks, I have the Owners Manual and will have a look to see if we have the Bristol Engine Manual. I'm not doing any major engine work at present but have used the Owners Manual for resetting tappets, cleaning the fuel filter, solving some leaks, re-building the water pump, timing ignition etc..
What I do need some help with is;
1) A wiring diagram ('58 Ace Bristol RHD).
2) Advice with which company in the UK to approach for a single hoop roll-over with removable forward facing diagonal. I spoke to Safety Devices and sent pictures and sketches but no reply as yet.
3) Help sourcing a spare set of 2nd hand 16" wheels. (I've read the tyre thread and have decided to go with the road legal Dunlop Racing tires 16x550, as period looking tyres that has good grip).
4) I bought a set of Whitworth tap and dies, however they are more coarse than the hardware on the car. Can some one advise on the correct thread type I need for general nuts and bolts round the car, as opposed to the engine which I know uses some more unique threads like the BSC head nuts. (Yup that took a while to work out!).
5) Advice on who in the London/Essex UK, area that can rebuild the Solex carbs (I am an SU man!). Preferably some one cost effective who I can meet face to face to discuss the job with.
Many thanks indeed, any help from any forum members with any of the questions would be greatly appreciated.
