I'm sure you won't be disappointed - I have Owen's sear covers and foams in my GT6, along with door cards. Great quality. Gully

I think the odd shower referred to is us lot! Gully

Is the breather connected at the filler cap? The tank vents via the neck of the filler cap assembly - should be a breather pipe running from there (above the pipe joining filler to the tank) down through a grommet in the boot floor. Also worth checking the seal on the sender unit - mine had a habit of leaking when I fully filled the tank until I reseated it. Gully

Have you checked the rack isn't slipping in its mountings? Gully

There are some flabby TRE gaiters out there - one of mine just touches the disc (and we're talking practically no resistance to a piece of paper slipped between it and the disc). If I swap it to the other side it does exactly the same - and they're NOS ones fitted last year. I do look at it occasionally, but not yet seen a mark on either the gaiter or disc after 1000 miles. Gully

The benefit comes from the difference between input and output tax amounts - one based on costs, the other the perceived sale price - and the VAT status of a membership magazine. Gully

I put 4 new 175/70 R13 Toyo tyres on my GT6 about a month ago - seem to grip the road nicely and are quieter than the Avon front, Hankook rear combination I was running. Much lighter steering too! Bought via Blackcircles. Was going to go for the Falken option (often run my moderns on Falkens), but couldn't justify the extra £12-£14 per corner for the 3000, mainly dry miles I do each year.

Can't get to the near side of mine under the car port, but measuring the offside I've just over 6cm clearance between tyre and bulkhead in the area of your marks - that's with 13x5J wheels and 175/70 R13 tyres. If my tyre travelled in a straight up deflection courtesy of a pot hole, it would clip the inner lip of the wheel arch before getting near the bulkhead. As JohnD has indicated - you must be getting a significant amount of rearward deflection in particular circumstances to cause the interference. Are you on Sunday's bunker run? If so, we can compare geometry - something seems awry still. Gully

Good stuff - my GT6 run in the sun yesterday was down the M1 to Hemel to drop my skis off for waxing, then back via the A1 as the M1 northbound was stuffed! Gully

My solid state electronic one needed to be attached to something to earth it - I simply unscrewed the clamp knurled nut from the accessible side of the speedo, popped the stabiliser onto the thread the ran the nut back on. Works a treat. Gully

Welcome! What made you swear off classics in the past? Gully

According to the parts books and manuals, my early Mk 3 has the Mk 2 standard system (albeit in stainless steel) - standard back box, but without the centre silencer / resonator added on the Mk 3. Wouldn't want a louder set-up! Gully

Welcome - and get that roof off! 😂 Gully

Hope you have a successful day! Gully

eBay - RB Classics. The chap's details are also in the Courier magazine under RB Mobile Classics, specialising in rotoflex rebuilds. Gully

My Minilites need a refurb, but JBW had a 25% off Black Friday deal last year and it worked out cheaper to replace than refurb! Gully

The ones supplied with the Club Shop bearing kits are fine and fit well. Gully

Worth noting that the other benefit of the fuel additive is the anti ethanol ingredient. Not simply octane boost and lead replacement. Nice pink plugs too 😄 Gully

Yep - that's my world! I have the OE calipers, but no OE seals and hadn't thought to refurbish them on the basis that the new seals would probably just render them the same as the re-manufactured calipers with new seals. Gully

As noted above, some of the new calipers have poor seals that don't allow the Pistons to self-adjust fully and pull back when released, giving longer pedal travel. I've had to pull the pads out of my calipers on a couple of occasions now to pump the Pistons out slightly - rectifies the problem until the pads wear a little more. Gully

Had to carry out an emergency stop in the GT6 weekend before last when a car decided to turn right across my lane without looking - nothing wrong with the standard set up if it's in good fettle! Gully

I'll watch from a chairlift if you stream video of the day! 😀 Gully

🙁 Will be my first miss, unfortunately. I'll be in the Alps... Gully

Welcome aboard. Now that's a true barn find! Good luck with it - hope you find time to post lots of progress photos! Gully

There should be a top hat washer over the top of the Spring. It's not in the repair kits, but if you look at the parts diagram on Canleys site you can buy them separately. Their dished washers are metal too when bought by themselves. Gully
