Richie's Mk1 Restoration

[ajmac]

Richie,
Are you fitting new pistons during the rebuild? If so what type are you using...I have to buy a set for mine, it's a 3.9L rather than the eariler spec 3.6L Flathead so requires the 3 3/16th pistons. I've spoken to a company in the US who do new sets with rings, just saving up to by them now!
Are you going to fit electronic ignition? I've got a little kit I built to use the points to drive a transister so that they never wear out, made quite a difference on a TR6, Spitfire and 3.5RV8 I tried it on. The plus side being that you don't have to damage any of the original parts and by just moving one wire can return the points to there original operation....I am going to have to solder up a new one as I just remembered that I lent it to a mate and he left it on his Series 3 when he sold it :-)
