Some of you on the b-c list have already heard the story about my pet rabbit chewing up the flexible rubber line to my front disc calipers so I won't go into that story again. Anyway, I decided that

Well, I called British Motorsports (in Campbell) to see if they carried British Standard or Whitworth (or whatever). They don't. However, the person I talked to said that he always used a 14mm wrench

Can't deny that the thought of making my own occurred to me but I still would have had to buy an 13mm wrench. As long as I was buying anyway, what the hell, figured I might just as well get the corr

Actually, I think most sockets and box-end wrenches are like this to some degree, but with rounded rather than squared openings. I suppose it depends on to what extent this is true and to the closene

Are you sure this isn't a fuel pump problem? Does this car have a mechanical pump? I know there's been an on-going discussion about this but not owning one of these cars, I haven't been following too
