I used to adjust tappets on ancient engines with a '15 thou' (ie 0.015") feeler gauge. Haven't done it since about 1980.

I can recall our first phone number from before the std system (ALT 0133) and the later version 061 928 0133 later still they made it 0161... Also my mum's moped reg, ALG 35B from around the same time. I guess I didn't have much on my mind in those days.

I used to do most of my car servicing and repairs until I lifted the bonnet of my 1982 Vauxhall Cavalier SRI and realised I'd never be able to do much anymore. 😂
