[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 77520, member: 58"] Bill A few years ago my brother in law bought a Rapide that had a modified Lucas ATD. The owner had made a new atd body / backplate that had an outer and inner continuous ring and the weights been a curved shape on their outer and inner face just moved into contact with the rings and acted as the stops. No ears to break off. Now my idea was this could be modified so say you had a removable sleeve on the inside of the outer ring. With a range of different thickness sleeves you could very quickly swap them over and thus alter the fully advanced timing figure without altering the fully retarded figure and also without disturbing the mounting tapers etc. It was just an idea and never went any further. I will ask my brother in law if he has a photo of his atd and if so post it here. Simon [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
