      More help please….

      Fitting a 123 dizzy to my Slough L15. The UK clamp doesn’t fit as it’s too big. 123 aren’t interested, they say get a French clamp.

      Does anyone have a French clamp out there? The shaft diameter is approx 27mm.

      John Gillard seems to be snowed under. This one was very kindly given to me by Mark from Devon, but it’s a bit too distorted.

              Very gracious of you. I didn’t want to risk being impudent!

              I’ll get back to Google, trying to find out where the No. 1 cylinder is, and how to find this mysterious 6mm hole in the flywheel!

              Getting very exited about firing up the engine after a protracted four year restoration!

                The mystery hole is through a boss in the bell housing casting – just below where the camshft passes through.

                Pin HoleIt may be hidden by the fuel pump heat shield (if you have one).
