Yes, the vagaries of chasing down some exact numbers by shimming are not new to me. If I’m to use the “standard” BX19 clearances – just three exhaust...

As the OP of this thread I’d thought I’d better offer a follow up? I decided not to pursue the white 16V in question; a bit too much of a project for...

As said above, the diaphragms on Purlux filter units can be problematic - causing bad running, surges and worse. Have at least one of the units from...
