Honda-SOHC

Perhaps if sales are good they will make another batch if they have done the tooling?

When we ran out Jeeps a WJ &. WK1 both were retro fitted with LED headlamp bulbs both passed the MOT tests at two different test centres. I later chatted with one of the testers about the issue, he said as long as they were white with a clear dip cut off it was not an issue. The Jeeps use an unusual style of bulb so finding good ones was difficult. I eventually found a pair of fan cooled units named oddly "Hogfather" they were much longer on the bulb body - luckily plenty of room on the WJ - they were in the Jeep when it was sold being over 3 years old.

I foolishly painted a Honda step thru tank with normal paint and then a few weeks later spilt petrol on it that immediately softened the new paint.

When you say normal paint do you mean normal automotive paint Skoti? Once I have the dents pulled out on my tank I’m planning to paint it myself. I have used automotive rattle cans before without having a problem but that was a long time ago.  maybe the formulation in auto paint today is less resistant to fuel and I will need a different approach?

Aye,

I used Motip automotive paint in aerosol cans.
Always had a good results with this stuff.

I used the primer, then colour coat and finished with clear lacquer.

TBH. I think the clear lacquer was the problem, I soon as I split petrol on it I reached for a paper towel to wipe it but it had immediately softened and turned into a gooey mess.

Paint experts on here will probably agree that quality petrol resistant 2K lacquer is the way to go.

Good luck


P.S.

don't leave too much overspray around the filler neck or fuel tap area or the new paint will eventually lift.

I wonder if something is getting lost in the translation Julie .. maybe by 'muffler' they mean the complete system?

Quite possibly Ash. Yamiya call the complete system the muffler, so it would make sense.

Well if that is the case that's not a bad deal and assuming the headers are double skinned as per the originals. I'll cancel that holiday 

They are deffo double skinned ... I checked ... Also Yamiya ones are not ... it states so on their website since I told them to mark on the listing if there were or not.

I have the 3000k warm white LED. Hopefully the morons on the roads will see me with a yellow(ish) light if the data is to be believed.

Interesting, I'm sure there was a time in France when everyone there had to have yellow headlights, I don't know if EU law up ended all that or they had new ideas about it?

Unfortunately the yellow lights, allthough streetlegal, are becoming more and more extinct, due to EU laws which (uniformity for carmakers). It's a pity. They were better noticed in bad weather conditions like fog and snow. Also there was hardly any blinding of oncomers.
As far as what's mentioned above (UK ruling) in the EU fitting a LED bulb in a standard or H4 reflector is not streetlegal. Leds only in reflectors for Leds, halogen H4 only in H4 reflectors.
