  1. Any ideas for a set of carpets for my 1360 Herald saloon,,, not going to be a concourse or show car,, a moulded set of black from club shop is £295,,, I assume it is best to go for moulded? I suppose Rimmers or Newton are the other options

  2. Would it be better to have a electronic ignition fitted to my 1360 Herald ,, it kept cutting out last week,,  and I admit I am not mechanically minded,,, I just enjoy the car,,, but I would now get nervous if it was going to let me down,, had to get the AA to get me home,, he said the coil was getting hot and carb may have muck in it ,, so I am in two minds,,,

    Doug,

    Slack in the gear linkage is a common problem, but easily fixed, once you've got the cowl off! I don't know about the 1360 but on the GT6 it's handy to cut a hole in the cowl to give access to the gearbox so that you don't have to take the cowl off every time you want to top up the gear box oil.

    I'm part way through doing my carpets, but it's too cold at the moment, so I'm also waiting for March/April when it's a bit warmer.

    Thanks for the advice regarding the cowl,,,, I am not confident enough to tackle the job myself,,,,, I have a mate who is a mechanic and he served his apprenticeship on the cars of that era, so I think he will be doing the job,,,, and I will have to check out an upholstery company near me that specialises in classics ,,, 

    Thanks Doug

  4. Thanks very much Doug,, I only got the car late August and so hopefully probably March,,, April,, I would like to get the tunnel changed and get the gear linkage mechanism sorted at the same time,,,, the engine runs fine,,, just seems to be a bit of play in the gears,,, then a complete carpet job.. 

    Doug
