Buying that If it’s correct would be MUCH cheaper. My shell needs everything. It’s VERY rotten.

The Mangoletsi kit is worth every darn penny!!
Shell ID

Re: direction indicator: left one does not blink
Can it be the relay if it works to one of the sides? Is there one relay for each side?

Re: Speedo Drive
Holy thread resurrection!
On my dad's 68, the needle is dead but the odometer is working. I guess this means it's the gauge that's faulty in some way. Has anyone experienced this?
Maybe a good excuse to go and buy a KmH one instead of the MpH which is fitted at the moment?

Re: Removing diff, keeping the car rolling
Thank you for a thorough and good explanation. Much appreciated. I'll have to see what I do as this is obviously not a two hour job :)

Removing diff, keeping the car rolling
We've got a 68 car with a 3.54 diff, and a shed of a car from 65 which I presume has got the 3.07 diff.
Is it possible to remove the CWP (Does the 65 have an LSD btw? ) and still keep the 65 as a rolling shell?
I'd like to rebuild the 3.07 and fit to the 68.

Re: LHD accelerator pedal
I've fitted a Mangoletsi kit on my dads LHD 1.5. My problem is that when I want to brake, I blip the throttle. Do these pedals look correct to you guys? Could they be RHD pedals? Ideally, the pedals should have been an inch to the left. Maybe the Mangoletsi throttle pedal should have had the flange ...

Another way. Would it be possible to mill the fins off, having the entire cover polished?

Re: Dreaded Heater Pipes bother? Not Bother? Yes or No.
On a side note. Unless you're looking to be 100% original, wouldn't it make sense to get the water out of the dash once for all? Why not fit the pipes/hoses in the engine compartment?
I cannot fathom why they did it this way. Six bulkhead holes. Could've been zero...

Thermostat bypass
On the Stromberg cars, there's a small hose that connects the radiator to the inlet. Is this a bypass of the thermostat? When changing to 3XSUs, this doesn't have a place for the small hose. On my Minis, when this happens we've just drilled a shall hole in the thermostat to let some water seep throu...
