  1. Kevin, I have a section of GT roof which may be what you are after. I brought a scrap roof years ago for the rear section and have the front section available. I am in Nottingham. Can get a photo to you this weekend if you are interested. Graham
  2. Very nice work, did you enjoy remembering old skills? Graham
  3. There is a C shape clip which has a split pin passing through the the top and bottom of the clip. Try pushing the clip up the pin. If this cures the problem secure the clip in place with a electrical chocolate block connector. Graham
  4. Now the PO knows where that odd screw should have gone that was left over at the end of the job. Graham
  5. In addition it would have been mono and the speaker was located of the passenger side shelf. The speaker would have been supported on black card the same as the shelf. Also when driving you could hardly hear it. Graham
  6. No one has mentioned Park Lane classic, always my port of call. Graham
  7. I can remember that type of chart being on my father's garage wall in the 60/70s for a Vauxhall vx 4/90, also a Vauxhall Victor 2000. Happy memories Graham
  8. Alberto, you have two very nice cars. Graham
  9. Roger, you are correct it is your car and it would not bother me what you have done. I just find it amusing people are introducing gas strut to lift bonnets and boots, just my opinion. As Kevin say these struts can cause other issues and stresses. Have you alltered the angle that the strut sits in when the boot is open that causes the flexing? Graham
  10. I agree Simon bbc electronic ignition are good, and I have not had any problems, have two one on Spitfire Lucas and another GT6 Delco. Good price as well Graham
  11. Sorry Non member, you are correct, I forgot. I can remember building them at Speedograph Arnold Nottingham when I was a student. Amazed how simple they were. Graham
  12. Have you tried just attaching the temp gauge to the old sensor to see what happens? The sensor is nothing technical a thermocouple at the bottom of the brass fitting held in place with a spring. You could compare to old gauge and even a thermometer. Graham PS Colin beat me to the reply.
  13. Sorry gas struts for boot lids. Have our owners grown weak in limb? What is wrong with with the original set up? As for the bonnet, you brought the car with the original bonnet set up, did you not lift the bonnet when you brought it? If you want an easier boot and bonnet to lift, buy a Reliant Robin. Sorry for the rant but really this was how the car were designed. Graham
  14. Sorry was there a question in the message. A roll over without diagonal? I would follow JohnD advice and have a bar without diagonal. If I was to go for a roll over bar that is what I have, however theses seem to be hard to find. Graham Ps like with your first post light the blue touch paper and stand back. Graham
  15. Well Alan you have now opened the tin of worms, the question that should not be asked. Just like "should I fit this pipe that feeds extra oil to the rockers". Everyone has an opinion and the value of commercial roll bars against race tracks ones. I will now wait for JohnD to answer the question, as actually he does raise some good points. Over to you JohnD. Graham
  16. Sometime ago there was a story in the Courier about someone building a GT6R from scratch. Not sure what happened, from memory the car was slightly larger than a normal GT6. Until the mention here I had a feeling it was an April fool joke. Anyone have any information on this car? Graham
  17. Generally bodies are 1 mm thick. Graham
  18. Did you say it was a tandem system, so have you activated the safety system by over pressing the brake pedal when breeding it, with full pressure on the pedal. From having a mini with a tandem system I never press the pedalling halve way. From memory the shuttle has to be reset, this can be done by moving the fluid reservoir. Graham
  19. PeteH Sorry I have just seen your post, I applied it on a warm day and did not noticed any odd smells nothing to make me question the material, anyway in our car after 30/40 hears you should have strange smells, my Spitfire has a lovely smell completely different to the GT6,which has quite an empty smell. I am very happy with it on the inside of the gear box tunnel. Go for it, a lot better value than the other products on the market. Once when watching one of those US car programs they applied sound proofing to a pick up truck and it was just patches to stop the drumming. With regards to houses the noise would transfer through the joists, in a program about cross rail being built under a concert hall they put the rails on absorbing material to stop vibration, and vibration is just a lower wave form to sound. Graham
  20. By any chance do you still have it and is it black? Graham
  21. Late 1500 had black trim on rear section. Had mine since 1983/4 and not altered them. May be satin black, need to check, could have be anodized, not painted. Will try and post photo tomorrow. Graham
  22. Well done, the positive is you are entering into summer, while we are entering the winter and things are going pear shape in Autumn, God knows what it will be like for winter. Enjoy your summer and being outside in the sun. When's the next flight. Graham
  23. Were not the original door caps in the late GT6 and spitfire thin hard plastic moulded to the extract shape of the door? Graham
  24. Hello You will find that paper records are now covered. Graham
