Late cabriolet engine bay (Rivage)

Which was more reliable?  

I dont think there is a more reliable one, Digifant was just the next step on in terms of the injection, DIGI  is more advanced then k-jet and has a lot more control over fueling and timing etc, they are meant to be more economcial but i've never noticed. ( comparing mk2 k-jet to digi ) I've always thought that the k-jet cars felt more responsive and because its mainly mechanical theres no little black boxes to go wrong.

Phew! Thanks MrGTI, I was hoping you were going to say that! Imagine the constant jibes from the likes of Dubboy and Kins….My life just wouldn't have been worth it!  

Very nice Mr Walt  

Cheers………..



[Alternator red paint] ?

Ah yes…..The alternator red paint! Comes off as soon as you touch it! After getting some stick last year for a dirty alternator, I wiped it over with TFR and then gently wiped it with a damp cloth to remove the TFR which was left on! Imagine my joy as the red paint just wiped off effortlessly!  :cry:

Might be worth a visit to your local model shop for some tins of paint [Humbrol etc] to try to match the red paint ? It would be cheap to have a go on some scrap first .

I see matey in the restored cab at Harefield last year had restored his alternator using the exact paint match . So it can be done .

Will be nice to see your shiny engine on display this summer Walt  


Cheers………

I might try stripping it down and re painting the whole red section yet! Can't leave it like that!
