    If anyone can recall the tappet clearances as recommended by Don Ferguson for the Ardun i would appreciate very much. Yes I can contact him direct which i will do but i really need the information asap. Note im in rural Australia. Cheers for any help

    Some friends found an Ardun that had been in a '30 A roadster. They did a 'freshen-up', and used a Weber cam.
    IIRC, lash was .008 and .014. (Safe enough setting for a 'run-in'...)

    Hey @Brom doesn't look too rural to me - sealed road and gutter LOL
    BTW there are 4 Arduns in Castlemaine. What is the history on your Vicki?

    Better be careful if you take Ronnieroadster's advice. The Vicky might start breaking speed records.
