Back to the silver wheels
Winter must be coming :-)
https://i.imgur.com/QE54j8K.jpg I've changed back to the silver wheels and 175/60 tyres.. ostensibly for the winter (so to preserve the original wheels and shiny new hub caps), but they will probably remain on the motor car from now. Having tried both I have to say the Amazon handles and steers better with 175/60 tyres - they make the speedometer read correctly as well :-). Alan |
The forum is really quiet so here is a nice photo of GAM I took today:

Today has been the first without rain for a week, so I took GAM into town for a cuppa at the Wetherspoons:
https://i.imgur.com/mBcbCLX.jpg I was getting a bit stir crazy after 3 days at home with a rotten cold. I'm pleased to say GAM started straight away and worked perfectly after perhaps a fortnight of inactivity. GAM also attracted a crowd of folk from the pub wanting to have a look around (that always happens). :-) |

It is pretty unlikely that I'll find an original replacement that is any better, so as before my options would seem to be: b. I could saw off the armoured cable to access the +ve wire to the coil and fit a replacement switch. I don't like changing from the original unless there is no other option.Of the two I'm tempted to try option 'd' as the least obtrusive (probably the cheapest and simplest as well). I could hide a modern 5 post relay down somewhere near the starter motor, that way it would actuate with far less potential difference (hence current). There is no rush to do this as it works fine when it works, but something I should sort out in the medium term (few weeks). Alan |
I'd go for a sstarter relay Alan, a 4-pin 40A (or 70A if you want to over-engineer it) relay will do fine. :thumbs_up:
