Re: E-Type Fabs / Classic Fabs Exhaust System Price?

I sold my Classic Fabs exhaust system on here for £800. It had done 2,700 miles.

Same reason; too loud for touring (but beautifully engineered).

Put a Bell SS on from SNGB - delighted.

Cheers

Gearbox Filler Plug

Would anyone know the dimensions of the Gearbox Filler Plug on a late S2 please. Plug on the drivers side.

Want to purchase a specific ring spanner for this job so thought I would check. Don’t have one big enough.

Thanks

Car lift

I received an email from SNGB advertising a car ramp. I think it would be quite useful as I do not have the height for a full lift and only rent my workshop (so not permanent fittings). Does anyone have any experience of using one of these please? Thanks Ash https://i.postimg.cc/Jhh3rRQ7/B5-DDC3-B8-...

Re: Fosseway Performance Heat shield.

I have had one on my S2 for a couple of years now. Absolutely delighted with it. No heat issues with servo and it looks superb. I have many Fosseway items on my car. Pleased with them all. No affiliation. Cheers Ash https://i.postimg.cc/pLLSYKY2/6-FB1693-F-CEC1-4313-B1-FE-FA6897-FB1-F0-F.jpg

Re: 40 Years of SNG Barratt Video

Congratulations SNGB!

Some very genuine and sincere words on here that I shall not try to emulate. Will simply add my agreement.

A wonderful organisation, run by a genuinely nice guy who deserve their success.

Re: Oil pressure gauge and water temp gauge issue

Don’t go too thin. Needs to be in the 20/50 range.

I always use Penrite and they have just changed it to 20W /60.

But respect oil choice is quite a personal thing. Everyone has their preference.

My S2 with 6,000 miles since a full engine rebuild idles at around 40 when hot.

Re: Speedometer issue

Mine is late S2 (Jan - 1970) and is as David’s post.

Not plastic.

Been in family since 1973 so confident of provenance.

Smiths gauge seals

Hi all I am cleaning up the gauges on my S2 and now I have them in pieces (maybe foolishly) I am struggling to source the rubber seals to rebuild. The seal between the bezel and the glass. Mine could not be described as rubber any more - more lumps of substance! That said, 52 years old so they have ...

Hi all

Not my most complex workshop task for the winter months but am keen to freshen up the Ashtray on my S2.

Anyone had particular success with a recommended paint and/or process?
