Says it all about this club. Good eggs everywhere.

Thanks - bit of a dark art which I know little about for Clans!

So, just to simplify it - for a road going Irish clan that needs new front shockers, and could possibly do with a suspension refresh, could I get away with Monte/Standard/RAC springs front or rear, and would a set of adjustable Imp shocks do the job? Ideally would like a good road setup for a comfor...

Do you happen to know what the specs are for front springs and dampers for an Irish Clan? Presumably same as for crusader. Dad is looking for new shocks (and possibly springs) for his?

Wont' be able to make WWW this year (again :( ). It's clashing with a football match that one of my boys is going to as a surprise birthday gift, at Anfield. If anyone is hanging about around Mid Wales (Machynlleth area) for a week, there a car run called Mach Run 18 being held the following weekend...

Who the hell was in charge of ordering wasps for this year's national? Did they get metric and imperial mixed up or something?!?!?!!!!! ;) Apart from that it was an incredibly enjoyable few days, very relaxed, good atmosphere, came back home smiling. And that was without bringing an Imp! Hats off to...

You never cease to amaze us Dom. Great work.

Love it. Great to know the back story.

Very tidy work indeed. Another superb restoration by the looks of it.

Looks excellent. Is it rivetted or bolted together?

Argh! just realised I'm probably not going to be able to make it to this year's WWW due to a work commitment....

Still undecided which route to take on Thursday. Do you have an ETA for passing M6 Hilton Park services - between Junctions 10A and 11? I might meet you guys there? Otherwise the option for me is towards Ludlow, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Redditch. Anyone else headed that way on Thursday? Rhydian

Decided that the GWR logo on the van wasn't cutting the mustard. In fact, wrong colour for GWR anyway. So decided to become an Imp and Clan specialist! Here's the drivers' side - naturally in the language of heaven: WP_20160727_19_24_31_Rich (2).jpg And the other side: WP_20160727_18_17_01_Rich.jpg

Your car just keeps on improving Mr lane.

4 months since I posted last.. Time flies. Well, update - Husky passed MOT today with flying colours, although I did spot a slight imbalance in the rear brakes whilst it was on the rollers. I'll sort that out this weekend - a clean and a bit of a brake bleed should do it. WP_20160704_002.jpg Also, f...

What are those spax shockers like? Any good?

Just a heads up. Anyone fancy coming to Welshpool, near the Powys/Shropshire border for a great airshow - and free entry for classic car owners who pre-book? 19th June. Who fancies it? They 'welcome' club displays. http://www.welshpoolairshow.co.uk http://www.welshpoolairshow.co.uk/festival-of-trans...

Anyone fancy this - 21st May, Cambrian Railway Museum, Oswestry.

I always wanted a cherry bomb! Remember drooling over them in triple C in the 90s!

Better shot of the sidelights in the headlamps.

Just a simple side profile.

Ok, not posted properly here for a while so here's what's new. Denso alternator - now fitted and giving out a meaty charge, even with everything on it's still well over 12v so will keep the battery in fine fettle. I did do an alternator conversion about 20 years ago but wasnt' too sure if the same r...

Well, seems it's job done. Many thanks to Dave Lane for answering what must be pretty obvious questions - thanks mate will buy you a pint when i see you next (National?). In essence, all that was needed was to run a fat brown wire to carry the charge from the alternator to the solenoid, disconnect t...

Another one of those little finishing touches that makes yours stand out from the crowd Mr Lane.

Opinions. Need to either re-drill (enlarge) the 8mm hole on the water pump/alternator bracket to 10mm so the through bolt fits the alternator, OR, reduce the hole in the alternator to fit the water pump/alternator bracket. Seeing as a pack of 4 was less than a quid, I bought some copper pipe pieces ...

Thanks for that, but having gone belt and braces I've now shaved around 5mm off the bracket so it's all in line. Moving on to wiring: Big thick battery cable (red) will be ordered to take off the main terminal on the alternator to A: Solenoid or B: Battery? (I assume solenoid?) P: Pulse: Not used - ...

Copying? "Taking inspiration from" is how i'd like to call it! I'll have a look to see if there's an old bush nearby. I like the 'vibration damping' idea. Just need to get some cables this week - a new length of red battery cable, and some of that 0.30 cable you advised and we should be good to go.

Bit of an update. Shaved about 5mm off the alternator's bracket, test fitted again and it's much better. In fact, it's lined up as good as the dynamo was (on the saloon). Also have a plan in mind for sorting the bracket. In fact, there's no end of possibilities once you start rummaging... WP_2016030...

Ok, had it on the saloon earlier cause it's easier to see what's what. Heres the photos. seems to be out a bit (quarter inch?) Are there diferent single groove pulleys on these sometimes? Maybe (if I can work out how to get it off) I can machine down the face of the pulley so it sits 'closer' to the...

Nice bit of bracketry. Are both front and rear brackets identical Brian?

Is the back plate on the wrong way around?

From what the photo looks like to me you have the inner face facing out?

What I'll do is test fit on the saloon, more room to see what's what. Then it'll go on the husky.

Thanks Dave for your help.

Dave,

Photos of mine from the same angles as yours:

and imprinted in the foil sticker are the numbers "3S 9"

connectors ar P, IG, L and the main feed.

maybe the one I have is a diferent size then! Will need to put thinking cap on, or maybe a slightly diferent way of mounting it.

I've managed to get hold of a small 40amp Nippon Denso alternator. But a few questions to those who've fitted them. 1: Do you use the 'aready fitted' pulley that's on the Denso, or something else (if so, what!???)? 2: With the existing pulley, on mine there seems to be a slight mismatch between pull...

If it's in B&Q let me know as there's a closing down sale in my local branch with 40% off some bits! Will no doubt be upgrading to a denso type alternator at some point - might as well get some bits and bobs now in anticipation!!!!

Tried 'Sugru' on them? Looks like a type of product that could help get a few more years out of them?
