i second the vote for MX5 seats. Pack them up about 25mm

So.....I jump into the 1200 and turn the key. Nothing.... So.....I swap the battery assuming I had let it go flat......Nope still no ignition lights So....I push the solonoid button. YAY it spins....... Get the Bond out and go on a family weekend to the Peak district. Tomorrow I start diagnosing. I will first check whether I have power to the Ignition switch. I do have a spare ignition switch to try. Any other pointers ?

Agreed. Between 500/800. The v 5 shouldn't be an issue unless the chassis plates missing.
-
also there is adjustment on the hinges. Try removing the seals. and slackening the hinges on the door ( You must open the door to see the countersunk screws ) The quarterlight is also adjustable. .....

Rd fitchetts do a good heavy duty tread plate.

I have used neoprene off eBay with some success. And the old fashioned felt backed with rubber from car shows.

Herald 1200 front grille and surround fixings
mishmosh replied to trevorc's topic in Bodywork & Fittings
Will take a look. But iirc 1/2 inch x. 8 pan heads should do it. In a captive spire clip -
The choke is tricky to find, took me about four years !
-
take it off and bench test it. Theres really not much to go wrong!

halfords or similar , sell a plastic moulded radio tray. fix it under dash and put a support strap at the back. Have two fitted, cheap and effective. this sort of thing.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seat-Ibiza-Mk-3-02-09-Black-Underdash-Tray-Single-DIN-Car-Radio-Fitting-/131125166214?hash=item1e87ab4086:g:zKYAAOSwD0lUdPSY

The A team.

a restoration will always cost morethan the value.However many will be prepared to do it for themselves. Whats your location? theres bound to be a local club.

I Just saw your post on facebook. same rules apply , so that may be removed too. Its the libel society. I agree that its useful to know who the bad traders are ... I work as a builder . 90 percent of jobs and clients are OK . The bad ones are the ones who tarnish it , and make me want to give up. I guess i am trying to say a little mud sticks.

also consider using the better exhaust clamps as used on competion cars. Not U bolts.

Power Steering on a Spitfire? Is it possible?
mishmosh replied to JonLow's topic in Chassis, Suspension & Steering
i have a mountney 13 inch iirc on my 1200 and a standard Vitesse wheel on my Bond( the Les Lestons being sorted ) I put the 1200 one on in the eighties. Love the look but seriously considering a Vitesse wheel as its so much more relaxing. Power steering would be a last resort. -
yup its pretty easy, , I am sure someone must have a picture.
-
my herald ones are supposed to be held on with elastic. However by removing the one cowl screw they fit beautifully behind the cowl.
-
Often considered this on the Bond ( same as 2000 set up ) as theres a significant dimness . I will first sort out the lack of power. Did your sum include all 4 ?
-
That's why you should use the club.

I once did a long lasting "Bodge" fitting a metal valve cap ( with rubber sealing washer fitted ) onto the end of the push rod. Lasted for years until i changed the pivot bush on the MC.
