Re: 1987 1.7 GL

It's been a while, I've done a few things. Went to Crail https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/t31.0-8/11222716_1158912297469367_122739927852509142_o.jpg Fitted some alleycats https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xat1/t31.0-8/11703580_1162563070437623_8719681733225729675_o.jpg Went...

Re: front shock absorber rubber protection thingy

Got a spare pair of struts that have these on, will need to check condition of them, as bogbasic says they don't survive very well.

Re: 1.7 Solex carb and wing mirrors

Not entirely sure on that one Jon, I'll take a look.
May potentially have another pair somewhere, will check those if I can find them. :mrgreen:

Re: Baffled by 360 exhaust centre section, very.

My old '91 340 had a cat and a "Catalyser" badge on the boot, so yes, some were fitted with cats!

Re: Can this 109 live again?

That's incredible. That was in some state having been on a car in a disused scrapyard for 20+ years.

1.7 Solex carb and wing mirrors

I have this Solex carb for sale, it was my spare for my 1.7 but I'm fitting a b20 now so neither are required. http://i.imgur.com/GCi0sht.jpg It's untested but the linkages are all free and work as they should. £30 plus post Also wing mirrors, one has a bit broken off one of the screw holes but ther...

Re: 1.7 Throttle cable

Just to confirm, a 1.4 throttle cable will fit a 1.7 - it's slightly shorter so you need to adjust the pedal stop.
Also the end is different that attached to the linkage on the manifold, I simply put some connector block on the end of the "nipple" on the end of the cable and it works all good.

Hi MCHUDD - could you get a pic of one and I'll compare it to mine?

Re: 1.7 Throttle cable

Basically it's bent and stretched I think, it doesn't return properly and the revs get stuck.
My intention was to indeed use a bike brake cable but it would be less bother to get a cable, if I can't find one though, I will go for that option.
RE 1.4/1.7 I think they're ever so slightly different.
