I am renovating the rear brake callipers and came across an issue. The little auto adjust nut on the parking brake has been replaced by a fixed bolt. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement. It’s the nut with the clicks that turns against the spring to tighten the cable… it’s item 25 in the picture.

Thank you

Thanks

My Bristol 411 has decided to not start 3 days before the BRDC Meet at Silverstone.

When I turn the ignition key I just get a clicking noise and start not engaging.
I am assuming the starter motor has given up the ghost....
Unless anyone has any other ideas ???????

Assuming this is the problem

What is the part number for a Bristol 411 Mark 1 starter motor?
What was it from??

many thanks for any help
