Anyone in the group have advice on an exhaust header for a 59 BugEye with a 948, .060 over, port and polished head, large valves, and a few other mods. Anyone have one they are willing to part with. I think it will breath a little easier if the exhaust is open up a little. larger pipe and muffler will need to be fitted too.
Thanks

I have a 3 into 1 I?d part with. Happen to be sorting parts as I type. 99% sure it?s a 948. Can verify.

Perhaps because I don't like buying pigs in pokes? Catalogs can be a bit
vague at the best of times. Sometimes you can save yourself three shipping
charges by getting the right part the first time if, as has happened for me
with Moss, you can ask the sales guy to go out and take a look at the item
in question. Sort of like the difference between dealing with a "tech
support" person who is reading off a screen vs one who understands the
technology involved and speaks intelligible English. Of course, Jeff Zorn
at LBCarCo offers the good English in combination with minimal
understanding of the product, but enhances it with a discount off the Moss
pricing. Not to mention the shortbread cookies, etc, that accompany the
shipment.

If I remember right, the 1275 is only ? of an inch taller than the 948 and
1098. So fitment should not be a problem.

Well when I buy meat from a butcher's shop I expect them to be able to
advise me on what the difference is between rump and sirloin and stuff like
that.  When I bought bedsheets I asked the assistant about the differences
between sheets (not between THE sheets) and she told me that one sort
wrinkled a lot but another sort didn't, etc.

I just presented an alternative, LCB verses 3 into 1.  The minute I saw Charle's original request I planned to offer him this header, but you moved faster than I did.  No sale has been made and Charles has "want to buy" requests listed in at least two other places.  :-)

Apparently this will only apply to new manuals they are creating, the back
catalog will still be printed.  But for how long?

List,
I have been doing a lot of reading over the last few weeks on our
beloved Spridgets and found these.

Gerry Coker interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPHbli48uLM


PDF of Gerry Coker's 90th birthday. Also contains a photo of Gerry and
Donald Healey and a rare photo of Gerry and our unibody designer/engineer
Barry Bilbie. I had read about Barry but I have never found any information
in books other than they originally wanted to use thinner steel for the
unibody but after testing reverted back to Barry's original engineering
plans. Very cool. Enjoy the reads as we bundle up for winter.

List,
I'm so glad David Silberkleit of Bugeyeguy.com scanned and prepared this
wonderful article as a pfd for all of us Spridigeteers. Enjoy warming up to
this great read. What a beautiful concours Bugeye, very interesting color
offered in 1960 too!

Greg & List,
I guess we all saw this coming over the last several years. Hopefully they
will be in PDF format so pages can be printed for our greasy hands in the
garage LOL.

I've been buying 2 shop manuals for my cars/trucks, one in new condition or
new for the bedtime read and note taking and the other, an old well used
dirty copy for the garage : )

Safety Fast,

Good to know Bill, I am starting to appreciate David's (bugeyeguy.com)
parts and his work. I would even consider having him do a build for me if I
didn't have the time, room or energy myself. I wish he would increase his
inventory but then again his prices are tough on the wallet although like
you said good quality. I'm at a point ....whoops ....... age where I would
rather pay once and cry once .......wink.

 All the manuals now in print will still be printed.? It's just all new manuals will be digital.? That's not so bad though.? All you have to do is print out the pages for the project you are working on, then throw them out when you are done.? Might be a lot easier than lugging the entire book around the shop getting greasy fingerprints all over it.Mike MacLean

For me I'm still learning and sorting so the exploded views with images &
part names helps a lot. Which is also why I will always keep my old paper
catalogs. I like AH Spares but it appears they will never show images as it
always says "image coming soon",

I'm confused I guess.  I thought the subject of this conversation was Victoria British.

Lin asked about AH Spares? quality. I previously found their stuff good but the head gasket mistake was potentially a motor ruining debacle and there was no consideration whatsoever.

The last time I bought something fro VB was...well I think Regan was president.  I stopped because their shipping was a percentage of the cost of the item.  No relevance to the actual freight cost.  Example:  I bought a tach drive for a MKI.  It cost at that time $200.  Weighed a few ounces and was approx. 3? x 3?.  They were going to change me $40.  
Like I said.  That was the last time.

Moss is a 2 hr drive from here, and shipping is usually as much or more than my order.

Thanks for this.  I never knew (or maybe had forgotten) that Gerry came
from Duston in Northampton, at that time it would have been almost a large
village gobbled up by Northampton's growth (it was much later when I lived
first just outside Northampton and then in the town itself).

List,
Why haven't we heard more about the chassis designer Barry Bilbie?

Look what followed me home yesterday, I decided to have an easy to use web
thread for this little cutie to help me organize thoughts and processes.
Images are key for me as I'm not as good at terminologies as all of you. I
will do a mild rotisserie on it and keep most if not all of her original
parts including running gear and under that odd red paint reveil her cherry
red. Patin plan and learning about the chassis for spring so whatever I can
find about Barry Bilbie's design let me know. I don't have room for her so
lots of pushing in & out of an occupied garage, time to lift more weights.

Message-ID: <CAL0QtVe29=1Ci_efpKp5VqRbyTPqBj-CBY4t2ao5JGXwo9LX2Q@mail.gmail.com>

List,
As soon as I can get a warm day I'd like to remove my SU carbs on my pink
Sprite which has a 1275. Our dear friend Frank Clarici rebuilt mine in 2006
when I bought her from a guy in California via eBay. Part of me doesn't
want to tackle it as I would hate to make any changes he wouldn't approve
of but I think this link will help. It appears to be stuck in high rev but
I'm sure she could use a thorough cleaning. I would like to find an
exploded view for the older carbs on the early 1960 Sprite as I will have
to do a complete rebuild of that one and I have a spare to learn on.

https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/how_to_repair_su_carburettor

Has anyone used this link? I'm going to make a big print/plot of the
exploded view for my  classroom as we will be creating exploded views soon
and for the small handful of kids coming to the classroom they need to see
something motivating.

Alan:

The most info I have seen on the DHMC hardtop is on the 
www.sebringsprite.com website under "DHMC Hardtops". It has some 
diagrams but no dimensions.

I will be putting my DHMC Sebring hardtop on my Bugeye in the next few 
days and will measure my side curtains at that time. I know they have 
two fasteners per side and a rather sharp front upper corner that 
doesn't match the curve of the hardtop too well. I'll take a closer look.

Message-ID: <CABx2U1QiQ7FzX+Q40FphebNw8BbHhhjD-gtOZ0iAMZW_r0bn7A@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings everyone.  I was semi-active on this list several (like 10) years
ago.  I have a 1959 Bugeye with a 1275 engine that had up until last month
been sitting dormant in my basement garage.  I have the car back on the
road and running fairly well, but I am dealing with an idle issue.

The card starts fine and will idle fine after it warms up; however, when
coming to a stop, the idle drops to a point where the engine will stall if
I don't give it a little gas.  After it catches back up, the car will go
back to idling fine.  Right now I have the idle set at about 1,000 rpms.

The plugs on the car look good, so I think the mixture is fine.  I have
played with the timing a little as well.  Any suggestions as to where else
to look?

Thanks,
--

Thanks for the tips Chuck.  Hopefully I'll get the chance tomorrow to do
some additional testing.

As Chuck said in his reply, Check the vacuum areas with an aerosol that
makes the idle go up. Don't forget the area on the carb bodies where the
carb butterflies are mounted in. Prone to wear there... Also check that
BOTH carbs are flowing fuel through them. This symptom is similar to when
only one carb is flowing correctly too.

Lots of good suggestions already. I would check the float levels too. 
The easiest way to do this is to pull the pistons, and turn on the fuel 
pump. You should see gas about 1/16" below the top of the jets with no 
choke pulled.

Cheers,
Dave Ambrose

I think I've found the issue.  There is a vacuum leak where the intake
manifold mates to the cylinder head.  I had recently had the head off the
engine and apparently didn't get something quite right when I put it all
back together.  The only leak I could find was near the front of the engine
affecting the front carburettor.

I plan to remove the intake manifold and replace the manifold gasket.  Is
there some special precaution/prep I should follow to ensure success?

Thanks for your help.

Some intake manifold gaskets have a steel side.  Put the steel side against the head.

Okay, so I did try tightening the nuts.  It did seem to reduce the vacuum
leak somewhat, but did not eliminate it completely.  My next step is to
disassemble and replace the gasket.  Is there any recommendation for a
particular gasket?  Can (or should) any type of gasket dressing or sealant
be applied to the manifold gasket?

Boy, I sure like to think I did!  But I've done some pretty dumb things
before.  I'll be diving into it in a few days, so I'll find out for sure
then.

If you did not the intake would have been a pain because it doesn?t have
the index for the studs like the earlier ones. Unless you are using an
earlier intake.
