I fitted lap seat belts in the rear of my mk 2 vitesse saloon , easy job . With the lap belts o believe you can use these in conjunction with child seats . Reasonable amount of room as well welcome to the forum Paul

Packing chassis mounts to correct uneven door gaps is on my list so keeping old Wellington boots for the job . I’ve used them for adding to vehicle jack pads and axle stands to protect the chassis so far Paul

Haven’t tried this idea yet though shower curtains are good for helping to minimise dust when spraying Paul

I’ve taken the Silentcoat route and can recommend the product At the time Amazon was cheaper than EBay Paul

Just finished POR 15 on my Vitesse towbar , 3 coats applied with a brush Paul nb I use the syringe for the POR as pouring will mean paint on the tin lip meaning the lid will never open again , got the T shirt

Hi Paul . Your spray gun is it a branded make ? And with celly are you happy with the outcome ? Paul

Yesterday read a FB post about a guy looking to sell a Concours GT6 looking for interested parties . He said the car had a tssc valuation of £37,000 , can this be correct as the latest concours valuation for any gt6 is £24,000 . Of course I can’t find the post now to give more info Paul

Placed an order with Bilthamber today , website says delivery as normal Paul

Hi Tony , thanks for advice , plan is to use my 100 litre , 3hp compressor with regulator for metal prep and hopefully spraying , currently using an orbital sander and multi tool to prepare a spare boot lid I bought some time ago . The boot is in good nick apart from surface rust . I plan to use Bilthamber products , cleaning, rust prep , electrux aerosol (zinc coating over prepared rust ) and their high build primer aerosol then cellulose ( club shop ) code 66 Valencia blue . The boot will not be complete paint strip just the rust and the odd deep scratch . I’m oiling the sander direct and saw the spray when first oiled 😨. When spraying celly is it best to have the moisture trap on the gun or compressor ? I have an HLVP gun came with the SGS compressor with 1.5 nozzle . Guess this gun won’t give a satisfactory finish ??? Paul

I purchased a new Delco from Accuspark with electronic ignition , cost about £100 for my Vitesse 2 years ago and so far so good 2,000 miles plus , it hasn’t got the vernier scale though . Always carry the old Lucas points version in the boot just in case Paul

Welcome to the forum , My first port of call is always Canleys , best prices and quick delivery . Rimmers from my experience is the most expensive . EBay is a useful source though I only use it for NOS No doubt other members will be along to add to the list Paul

By exhaust do you mean dust extraction ? Which I haven’t got Paul

Just getting round to setting up a compressor and coupling up an orbital sander to start work on a spare boot for my Vitesse . This is the first time I’ve ever used this equipment so my first newbie question What oil do I need for in-line lubrication ? Thanks in anticipation Paul

If you decide to go down the electric fuel pump route I’ve fitted a Huco and it works well , you get the comforting tic tic tic when the ignition is switched on , I can post the installation instructions if you want Paul
