Hello All Just checked my notes 2011 I converted it and 54,000miles ago! I think I will call it a Win? Roger

I suppose you could why do we repair anything we could just buy or mess with Old Cars? He said it was faulty did not check and the LM7810's are pence! Plus not sure of modern ones quality! Roger Ps how many hours on the bonnet!! Ha Ha

Hello Roger I have built it in to the smiths case and I tested it on a variable power supply I turned it down to 11.5volts and it still gave 10.15volts and the same at 12v ,13v No load but I do not suppose they draw much power ? Roger

Hello Martin I think it must be a LM7810 in my Spitfire as I found 4 of them in the electronics boxes? It must have been in there for at least 8 to 10 years I think? Roger

Hello Yes then he can just swop them over and hopefully the gauges will read better? Roger

Hello Learned Friends I said I would convert one for a mate for his TR4 that is negative earth. I did my own on Spitty years ago and it works fine but the old Brain has Faded a bit since then and I can not find any notes? So is a L7810CV ok(I have several) with the 12v on the in leg(1) and 10v out leg (3) and leg (2) earth and the the tag? Some of the circuits show 0.33uf on leg 1 and 0.1uf on leg 3 ? I do not remember fitting these to mine? So how important are they? Roger (brain Fade!)

Hello All I my speak that's 4.5" that's about 12 times the pitch of Spitty!!! Roger

Hello What is roughly the chain pitch?? It looks a touch bigger than Spitty!! Roger

Hello Alll I used to love them and have a CD somewhere with some on Roger

Hello All So is that liquid diet (ie drink and a few crisps???) Sounds good to me or use the Bog at work for the heavy stuff? Roger ps with a nice cess pitt that has a pipe I fitted to take the water off the top and has not been pumped out for a least 40 years just chuckles away to its self! with a nice big crust which to me means its working?? plus we do not put rubbish down it!

Hello John Go on you know you want to? Plus no pckets in Shrouds so they tell me? Then you can spend hours making something you could buy for pence!!! Roger

Hello John Check this site out and up your way? Latest Offers - Chester Hobby Store Roger ps you could collect one in your van!!

Hello John This is the chink one I bought but about £500+ less!! Warco WM 240B Lathe | Belt Drive Metalworking WM 240 B Butthis one would probably do most of the jobs and not so hard on the wallet? Warco WM 180 Lathe With DRO Digital Readout Small Metal Turning Roger

HelloJohn I had a mate at the time who had a plant hire firm and had a flat bed trailer with a steel floor. It was loaded onto to it a the place I bought it from and we slid it off and on to steel tubes as rollers plus I had laid the concrete floor thicker there. It will have to be sold with the house!! Roger Ps the chink belt drive one I bought is just right for the average home workshop jobs(I hardly ever use the big one now just the odd flywheel skim etc but they have gone up in price!

Hello Nick I have forgotten most of what I did but to me it made more sense with ITB's ! Spitty not perfect I suspect a rolling road trip would sort it better but it good enough for this Daft Old Bugger and I still tinker now and then!(plus about 45mpg over the Whole year((5800miles))I can live with!) plus she pulls like a train at 3000rpm(even in top gear o/d with all the kit in when travelling)which is 70mph! I would like to get to the bottom of the second MAP for high places as I think I have back to front at the moment but seeing as we are going on an Alpine trip later in the year We are doing at least 10 Alpine passes and the lowest one is 5750ft (1757m in funny measurements!) so enough to affect the fueling(goodness knows how the 2 TR6's will get on?) plenty of plug changes I suspect? Still an easy trip to Spain first and see a few more Castles etc(and maybe drive across the odd dam or two??) We are going to Visit Salamanca and Toledo amonst other places but more 2 night stops and selfcatering and probably only about 1500 miles total! Roger and the Memsahib
