Re: Nods news , Time for reflection plus year end report .
Back in Nov 2018 I trial fitted one of the very first in tank fuel filters that Bob Picton was doing.
Unknown to him I also fitted a new inline filter by the carbs .
The idea being to test wether anything gets through Bobs filter and is therefor caught and visible in the rear filter .
Well 14 months later im very pleased to report that absolutely nothing got through and the inline filter is spotless .
Therefor ive removed it completely as i deem it unnecessary and got rid of two joints in the fuel line into the bargain .
Pipe ive used is Cohline 2240 . Its suitable for E15 rated petrol , Ethanol, Diesel and Biodiesel fuels so im ready for whats coming .

I have Bob's in-tank filter too - worth every penny!

Does 'BOBS INTANK FILTER' tm sit over the outlet inside the tank? I made something to sit over mine but have not yet fitted it because I was wondering how to make it so it wouldn't move about?

Re: Nods news , Sorting out the rear bumper
Decided to clean the Singers engine today , try as i might i couldnt get in all the nooks and crannies at the timing chain end , nout else for it but remove the rear panel .
Then went for the weekly shop in it ( after putting it back together ) , ran perfectly and the only fault that showed up after being stood for ages was a squeaky top steering column bush , a quick squirt of WD40 soon shut that up

Re: Nods news , Pointless faffing about
Boredoms obviously setting in as i made a stainless and more or less pointless engine mount base for the rear panel as well as a cover for the engine mount ( done last week ) .
Base is the same thickness as the oil cooler mount so it keeps the mount level , i guess its better than the bit of steel the factory used to level the mount up .

Re: Nods news , Pointless faffing about - lockdown boredom
I lift my rear bumper up an inch or so as well, I feel its too low as standard and other car bumpers are at brake light height and ride over the top of an IMP rear bumper, the fronts are at a better height though.

Re: Nods news , Pointless faffing about - lockdown boredom
Well the bumpers won't do much as they arent substantial enough but they will resist a parking nudge and protect the body, the originals are too low and as Noddy said too close to the body really, just gives a little extra, but any bumper is better than no bumper, you really are risking chance then.

They don't raise the bumper, do they ? They move it away from the body I think.

Re: Nods news , Styling exercise . opinions needed
Yes the black frame detail looks 'right'.
Just need to make sure everyone closes the door by holding the handle .... rings on fingers and closing doors using the window frame does my head in ..wrong on so many levels. My wife still needs a "Handle!" prompt most of the time.
Have you noticed TV stars in borrowed classic cars ALWAYS close the door using the window frame!

Re: Nods news , Styling exercise . opinions needed
Well the window frames on the doors were shot paint wise , peeled of my black tape and some paint came off , there was also a bit of rust , mainly in the curved top .
So ive dived in , ripped all the paint off and etch primed it .
Im going black as a trial , ive no foam grey paint anyway so ive little choice .
Anyway we will see once and for all what it looks like once its done .
In the mean time passenger door rear glass runner is very shot

Go for it Dave! Even though I'm a little biased
I sprayed the door frames and the B-pillars satin black a few years ago and I think it looks good as it matches the side window rubbers.

Re: Nods news , Styling exercise . opinions needed
Both door frames are now painted black.
As a trial ive done the quaterlight chrome black as well , its done in some special 3M tape , very thin and is folded and held in place both by the rubber seal and the glass channel , therefor removable with any damage to the chrome - although the passenger side chrome is bad anyway

Yes it does need to be left chrome I think too, it's rather a lot of black there now. Especially with the black roll cage behind it as well.

No, no, no..... They look great with the polished rims. All black would be just WRONG.

Every Imp I have owned or restored (except for one particularly rare one) I have done the the tops of the door frames, and the B post in satin black. They should have been done that way from the factory in my opinion.

Re: Nods news , Its a cover up .
Not done much today but i have wired in an interior light on / off switch and mounted it near the dash .
It turns off the main interior light , both floor lights and the boot light .
Seemed a good idea seeing as in the summer interior lights / boot lights are not needed anyway plus i can leave a door open without the light being on all the time , boot light has its own switches anyway but killing the positive supply seemed easy as i was doing the others anyway , all these lights run off one 3A fuse

Re: Nods news , Its a cover up .
Theres nout like making work for yourself to pass the time .
Yesterday i rewired the internal and boot lights with a dash mounted on / off switch .
Anyway my switch panel has three holes evenly spaced ----- and I now need four
As a bodge to aid wiring i drilled an extra hole in it but obviously that looked shit so had to be sorted .
Switch panel is from a 50s Hillman of some kind and it fits in well so this morning after much butchery i altered its front using an old interior door trim backing . I liked the dimple pressing in it so decided to keep it in .
Pics tell the story better than me

Re: Nods news , bottom engine lid buffers
Factory ones are all a bit vague especially the bottom ones not to mention they look a tad rubbish .
Anyway I had some rubber feet of an old guillotine that were an identical fit slot wise as the old one .
These i popped in but they were a tad fat - easy solution as i just cut a slot in each one for the engine lid edge .
Also added some thin stainless on the lid - no more fooked paintwork
Lid closes just as well as before

Re: Nods news , Bottom engine lid buffers
I'm here, Dave. Been watching, but nothing to add means I haven't Plus I'm tired of the "blog" by you-know-who repeating itself, ignoring others comments and generally bumming about doing things for the sake of it.
