Be cautious buying parts from Ben Rodgers. I bought some parts several years ago and they weren't even Crab parts. He swore they were and I think they were Healy parts.

believe MGB's, Midgets,TR6's, Spitfires and Jag XJ6's and some E-types all used these valves, at least US spec cars did. They shouldn't be that hard to locate.

I have found that the running on in most cars is caused by the idle set too high. If the butterfly is allowed to close all the way this usually minimizes the running on. With that said it may be hard to let the butterfly close all the way because of the needed setting for the idle with a particular cam and/or timing setting. I have found you can usually change something just a little and get the idle down low enough. My Mini was running on during the break in process running rich and a high idle and after breaking in, reset the idle, carb and the timing and it went away. I don't think you need a anti run-on valve, these were mostly for emission fitted cars as the system is closed and vacuum goes to a carbon canister and sucks fumes from the fuel tank and carb overflow. The valve opens to allow air into the system, eliminating the fumes from the canister going back into the carb. I would hate to see all this stuff on a Landcrab.

For the shift cables, I did the same on mine, what I used is a heat shrink tubing made for burial electrical wire spices. I banded an extra piece at each end to make sure the ends didn't leak. The electrical shrink tubing also has a sticky inner coating which adheres to the cable when heated. I bought it in 48 inch pieces and was able to encase the entire cable.

I should buy this one. Seems reasonable, and I know what's wrong with the electrical.

In the USA, it depends on year what color the lens are, red or amber. I think they were all red until 70 and then the turn indicator became amber.
