Yes, I'm thoroughly embarassed about the metal loaded filler gaff. I've been a Chartered Engineer for over 20 years (though admittedly not electrical) and I've been playing with cars and bikes for much longer so I should definitely have known better!

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I have just started blogging my new Square Four project. The blog is at:

Next question. Anyone know of an epoxy filler, that will set rock hard, but which is black? There is a grey one here in the UK, loaded with aluminium, which I may use to replace a chunk broken out of my distributor cap.

I'll paint if I can't find a black filler.

I have that 'halo of light' problem with a 6V halogen on my Bantam. Anyone understand the problem?

I had my Bantam D1 shoes re-lined by Charles Johnson Bus & Truck Parts in Beech Drive, Norwich. Excellent service, soft linings at £8 per shoe. I have two finger braking!

Not sure we have Armourall here in the UK. What is it?

Anyone any good ideas on how to make 60 year old Bakelite shine like new?

Are you still looking for an answer? Drags do cloth covered harnesses...

This is a drawing of my original ignition switch bracket, finished in black paint. Hope you can see it ok.
