Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Carburettor synchronizer?

« on: December 06, 2016, 08:56:07 »

Hello,
   
   What does everyone use to tune their Solex carbs on the Bristol engine?
   
   I heard good things about the vintage Motometer unit(s) but I would rather buy something new, and most of the modern "snail"-shaped synchronizers look like they won't be a trivial fit with the Solex inlet flange.
   
   Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Fuel tank capacity and door sill cracks

« on: October 05, 2016, 09:47:14 »

Hello,
   
   While looking at an original Mk2 Cobra recently I noticed some light cracks on the bodywork about halfway up its door sills.
   
   Someone I believe to be in the know mentioned this was a design weakness that would often appear "after a while" if always filling up the fuel tank to its maximum capacity.
   
   Thankfully my Ace does not suffer from this issue but I have been wondering if other folks on here had heard about this before and accordingly avoided filling up their fuel tank to the full?
   
   Thanks.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Vokes air filter & filtering part

« on: June 22, 2016, 12:11:11 »

Hello,
   
   Just curious what other chaps on here use as a replacement for the filtering part in Vokes air filter "camemberts"?
   It looks like something might be available from K&N but I would rather steer clear from oiled filters, especially pink ones.
   
   Thanks.

Good morning chaps,
   
   Could a member in the know point me to a source for front ball joint replacements?
   
   Thanks in advance.
