    Bob’s washer jets and wiper seals.

    Hi all,

    just a quick note on Bob Picton’s washer jets and wiper seals.

    just fitted them whilst the wife was doing the washing up and they look great and was such a pleasure to fit.

    I also fitted an electric washer pump and before I adjusted the jets covered the garage roof in water! Adjusted now and working great.

        EXCELLENT job Dan , nice to see my efforts making such an improvement, not going to re drill my washer jet holes in body work though, Now there's a thought! No probably lead to more trouble if l do, although l suppose l could move them a bit to avoid hardened metal?
        Nice quick turnaround . Not many buyers have loaded pic's up THANKS Dan.

          No worries bob my pleasure, really pleased with them. Not fitted the fuel filter yet. Job for the weekend. Are the fibre washers required for the fuel sender screws?

            YES think it somehow affects the electric operation of the fuel tank sender, possibly insulation?

              They are just for compression and sealing the thread, I always put some thread selaer (not threadlock) down there as I am paranoid about petrol fumes.

              Saying that I missed my last fuel leak, Jim fraser drove the car at Imp Ecosse in Montrose and said WTF when he came back, gasket was gone on sender !

              As senders get few and far between now (and expensive) I have one of these universal 6 screw ones from car builder solutions to fit to Millie when the tank goes in. Mod float, resistance range exactly the same as imp, PCD same and screws same.

              Will be an intersting mod as its 10-20 cheaper than some NOS/Used senders have been going for.

                  Loctite 577 best applied a bit warm but arkward on fuel fittings, but if you use it let it set for at least 6 hours, better overnight, MDS says 6 hours but my experience on cold metal it should be left longer.

                  Permatex 56521 seems to be a close second but never used it personally.

                  It likes it best where it is just a thin film and tight, only takes a drop midway on thread of screw, the gap on a screw thread is very little and a droplet gors a long way.

                  Most common mistake is to apply it to greased surface or worse soak the threads in it, not needs, just a drop. Nice dry rust free thread, sorted
