Re: 'Recoil' inserts into 26VA Petrol Bowl ?

Helicoil/Recoil work well. I bought a kit on line for under £10 & did the job on the kitchen table!

One was done during a workshop day at the Essex A7 club. Took about 2 mins to helicoil in situ. Used the top as a guide for the helicoil drill, blown out to remove bits, tapped whilst held in one hand and helicoil screwed in. It was made to look very easy.

Hi Sandy
I've done all my 26VA carbs, and the results have been sensational!
It takes a few minutes only, and I use an old valve guide as a drilling bush set in an aluminium bar base. I never waste any A7 scrap!!

I didn't make the rally but my Box (Lulu) failed dramatically after the Bristol Rally and had to be recovered home, (bless you RH Insurance), and I didn't get the engine running till 4.30 pm yesterday

Been wondering where you'd escaped to..............
Cheers

Re: 'Recoil' inserts into 26VA Petrol Bowl ?

Many thanks One & All for your very kind thoughts re. my return - though I was never far away.

There seems to be no problems with fitting of 'Recoil' inserts (or other brands).

I shall contact Bob Kneale privately and it looks like another article for the Cornwall Club's Magazine.

Now, Yo-Yo suspension ?

Inserts ordered and paid for, so hopefully all will be well for this coming weekend's meeting up County.
