MK1 Singer Chamois

[Dave Lane]

Points swappage yesterday was deffo the issue .
61 glorious trouble free miles done today .
Its running spot on in every way now

[John A. Ross]

Good stuff my man

[Dave Lane]

Done the same on the Singer re. getting shot of the wiring tabs and replacing with P clips using rivnuts and stainless bolts / washers - much more gooder

Top work again Dave

Engine bay wiring in an Imp always looks nasty. I actually hid all min in the chammy, ran it inside the back parcel shelf including starter lead so all the ires just pop out.

But that looks really neat.

Half of mine is behind , all the coil wires and N/S lights etc , its why theres none showing on the passengers side , didnt fancy running a main battery lead through a steel hole even with a grommet fitted , its why its like it is

The hideous job of the rear hoses has been achieved
Drivers side was easy , Passenger side put up a bit of a fight probably because its a bit cack handed for me .
Easy way is cut the old hoses first , makes it easier to remove the remains . A plastic bag under the reservoir cap stops most of the fluid coming out = handy tip
Anyhoo I haz brakes with no leaks . Once fitted i pulled the brake light fuse - jammed the pedal down with some wood and left it 10 minutes - result was no leaks and no loss of pressure so il take that as a win . Pedal travel is around 1 1/2 inch total - no pulling to either side , just need to bed the new shoes in more .
buried the nuts etc with Lanoguard grease then cleaned and sprayed the area with normal lanoguard .
Not sure what size hole is in a soft line but the old ones were around 2mm .
