Thankyou

Thankyou, more food for thought. Cheers

Thanks I don’t think that will fit though

Thankyou for the advice

Hi all, Hope to get the description right but i want to have a go at balancing the carbs on my '74 2200TC, any recommendations for what is the best tool for measuring each carb with the airbox removed? And of course what will fit between the carb inlet and inner wing. Thankyou Adrian

That is an interesting and neat looking option, looks like it has its own reservoir, did you make the bracket to bolt to the engine?

Thankyou everyone, it is nice to see what other people think and yes, since it has been on there so long with no issues maybe i will just leave it alone but move slightly the reservoir, i think i am capable of that. I have had no waterpump issues since losing one (and then the radiator) on the...

Hello, I am after some general advice and opinions from this forum again. I have a 74 2200TC which i have owned since 2003 and enjoyed improving and driving over the years and it is now fairly sorted although there is always work to do! I bought off E-bay about 15 years ago a complete PAS...

Thats great, thankyou, i will get on E-bay later and see what i can find. Regards, Adrian

Thankyou again, i will have a read of that, really useful. Regards, Adrian

Thanks, that looks like a neat installation, would you mind telling me where you got your reservoir from?

Ah yes that makes sense, perhaps another worthy modification is for an electric fan at some point. Thanks

Hello, I have seen mentioned in a thread somewhere regarding fitting a reservoir/expansion tank as a worthy upgrade to a 4cyl to increase the level in the radiator and improve cooling? I don't have a cooling problem generally although the needle does creep up if in traffic, i acknowledge that...

Good advice, thankyou. The car is roadworthy and i did several thousand miles last year, only currently not using due to weather. I had it running well last week and i did wonder if i could hear a hissing sound so will act upon your advice. The carbs were rebuilt a 3 or 4 years ago but i dont...

Many thanks I think the washers I had fitted there were actually causing vibration so look forward to trying without when I next get over to it thanks again

Hello, In the quest for ever improving my 2200TC and its running i had a look over yesterday while it was running and noticed some rubber washers which i think shouldnt be there, could anyone help? The pic below isnt mine, i shamelessly took this from another thread but it shows the bolts i am...

Many thanks that is clear, I am looking at the supply to the cigarette lighter which seems to be my nearest permanent live.

Hi all, where does everyone take their permanent live for a more modern radio? I have a slightly retro modern unit fitted (doesnt look too out of place) but no permanent live for memory storage. I looked tonight but can only find switched live and dont want to bodge in anyway as all original so...

beat me too, i was 24 when i got mine, now 37 and still got it, was a free 2200TC, but had to do lots of restoration work to get it where it is now. Some spare parts if you need any. I am in Essex.

Hopefully pdf of magazine article about it attached

Sorry to drag this up, I have one I bought from a German company doing the classic cars shows about 10 years ago, not used it recently but I used it to tip my P6 on its side, both ways over time, for completely stripping the floor, doing some sill replacement work etc, I even changed the rear...

Mine has a rubber fuel pipe between the mechanical fuel pump on the RHS of the engine and the front carb fuel inlet, secured with a metal loop off the front of the head/engine stay bar. I cut the pipe and fitted a small paper type filter about half way along, easily visible to see if it starts...

I also find my 2200TC very useable and although it is a 2nd car used for the entirety of last week for no other reason than just because I wanted to. Normally it is my friday or weekend car. I also have the benefit of a garage so generally it does not get wet but in the last week it has worked...

good to seem mate, could be interesting to do a comparison against my 2200TC but I can already see that yours is going to be more refined; looking forward to a go in it anyway! Good looking installation as per previous comments. Nice to see someone using everyday (Until the gritting lorries come...

Sounds like your problems could be fuel related, I had my sender out last year to replace it, is fairly easy to do just be careful not to cover yourself in petrol as I did! Also I added a paper filter element between the main pump on the side of the engine and the carbs. Sounds like your...
