Also a certain spoof of an airline disaster movie too..

Nope - 2 at the front, 3 in the rear section.

I have a feeling there’s 3 spars in the front section? It’s beem a while since I did mine.

If you drive on van tyres in Germany and have an accident you will be prosecuted. Van tyres do not have the appropriate speed rating and proper snow tyres are essential. I wonder where you would stand then, two choices. Tyres with snow markings but Van tyres, or non van tyres but no snow markings? ...

50mm iirc.

16-8mm reducers (joiners) are available on ebay in nylon for a couple of pounds each.

Hose - I’ve seen a few places selling “Marine” hose at 16mm; it’s either that or Goodridge hose if it’s compatible with modern petrol (I suspect it is but an email to them won’t hurt).

I don't recall the exact "brand" or company that was selling them, but it did transpire that the same person was at the top (Philip Broquet IIRC) amd behind it all, one way another. He went through a phase of becoming a serial director with a stream of companies all magically selling the same produc...

They're all the same product, just repackaged or renamed - I think it was called "FuelCat" but the Broquet name was dropped at the time as they were being investigated by someone or other. Still the same person selling them, though. Certainly was back in 1991 when I had a cylinder head destroyed in ...

It’s a fixed ratio for the overdrive of about 0.8:1 so it should be dropping about 600rpm at 3000rpm in 4th.
