Super Major Handbrake
Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2021 2:23 pm
Hi I am currently restoring my 1st 1962 Super Major and have a few questions.
1,What is the best way to get into the handbrake wear plates.
2,Does anyone know the size of the thread on the drain tap on the LH side of the engine block near the dynamo.
3,When I bought it there was no Tacho connection. Can I install a Tacho Drive unit forward of the Fuel Injection pump coupling where the small oval(ish)cover plate (with 2 bolts)is. I think there should be a housing of some sort bolted to the rear of the fuel pump for the tacho to connect to but this is missing there is just a splined shaft.
4,Any advise on what type of oils to use. There seems to be a lot of opinion on this.
Any advice would be helpful, many thanks in advance.
