Re: Rear lamp Seals / Marker light seals / Headlamp Hinges / knobs / clips / Footwell lamps /Roller Blind

How much for the rear lamp seals. Now, in true "get poor slowly" fashion, both of these products will be being sold at cost price, because, after the expense of having a tool made, the next expense is the material they're pressed from. Which you buy in Rolls - BIG ROLLS, which means that even if I ...

Re: Wanted sill moulding

They’re glued on; which means you either need utter unobtainium new old stock, or very carefully heat and transfer from a scrap car.

Off to study Seymour - he’s go the smaller tank too. The only time he makes a noise is when the fuel level is dangerous low.

Re: 480 turbo CC Bello

Ok, I'd recommend the following: 1. Undo the handbrake adjuster at the central point, so that the cables are completely off. 2. Unbolt the calipers, remove the inner pad. 3. Wind back the calipers - This means you have use pressure on the piston to push, as well as turning the internal adjuster. 4. ...

Re: Welcome Seymour

New standard bulbs would be perfect. LED’s give very directional light and can’t be dimmed. Plus, as mentioned, the amount of CCS that’s flooding the market means you’ll get a lot of practice pullling your dash out….

Re: Welcome Seymour

Wow. Looks like a nice car now you've fettled it. Top work. Which Lead's do you use for switches, and dashboard Jeff? Honestly, I’ve given up with LED’s now. The problem is trying to source decent ones. Everything seems to be the same CCS (Cheap Chinese Shite), so I’ve actually reverted now back to...

Re: Heater matrix hose replacement

I was talking to Samco about building replacement hoses.
They wanted £80 per bend for making the tooling, then you paid the price of the hose, and they retained rights to the tooling..

I suppose for a simple hose like that it may be worth it.

Was thinking about this only this morning.... Is it as tedious as I suspect? there's no access to the adjusters once the lamps are in place I presume?

Re: Welcome Seymour

Minor Update: Obviously, Seymour wandered off to the Festival of the unexceptional , but apart from the occasional drive into work (where people are genuinely amazed by him), he's not really done anything. However, one thing that was apparent, was he'd need a new back box. And with the Stony Classic...
