fuel tank breather
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 8:22 pm
hi fellas,
had a really strong petrol smell in the garage ever since i put some in the car, discovered today that the tank breather pipes are not fitted! the manual says to drill holes, fit the pipes to the stubs , lay the pipes over the tank, feed them vertically down the body, and and on seems like a lot of bother to me. are there any alternatives to the original system?
also different topic but my wiper switch is the old pump type. it has three spade connectors, the replacement loom and the wiper motor has four wires, the light green wire cannot be connected to the switch. what does this wire do? are switches with four spades available? if yes who from? if no is there an alternative?
just to explain the car is a 1968 +2 which i have only had a short time, it has a ford 1600 xflow engine, twin dellorto 40s, the original gear box, a new lotus chassis and electronic ignition. it is not completed yet. i still have to fit the headlining, interior lights, and new carpets. as well as sort out the wiper switch!
thanks.
