Exhaust manifold

Well I've now done about 120 miles on my mildly restored OTS. Has been pretty good so far, but today I hit a very small road bump and all of a sudden the exhaust note got about 20 dB louder. I didn't know whether I had cracked a manifold or dislodged a pipe. Got the car home growling, coughing and s...

Rebuild update / steering conversion question

Hi folks Progress is continuing on my project. New floors are in, recovered dash is mounted. I started looking to install the steering column (now RHD being converted from LHD) and thought I would be able to swap the ignition switch to the left of the column and indicator stalk to the right. But it ...

RHD / LHD pedals

Hi all - my first post in this forum. I'm converting my 73 V12 to RHD and wonder if the brake /clutch pedals are shaped differently for RHD vs LHD. I read a great series of articles about the conversion which indicated that the pedals are different but the article only referred to S1 and S2. S3??? I...
