On the rear bulkhead, on the right side… Can anyone confirm that the cable harness should go trough the lower hole and the boot lock handle in the upper one? Can’t see that it should be the opposite way. The reason I ask is that the new bulkhead panel I bought has a cutout that aligned to the lower ...

Since I’m putting in a new interior I would like to remove the bracket.
How do I access the left nut for removing the bracket?
The right one is accessible trough the hole but not the left one, is it trough the “wheelarche”?

That’s the one…. Thank you
No I have to take it a part again to put it in place.

The Windshield rod is there for proportions, but they were stored in the same box so I assumed they are from the same area
Changing the whole interior so it should belong somewhere I suppose.

Have removed windshield, new dashboard etc… should have taken more photos…
Where does the lower bracket belong?

Thanks for the input, but it isn’t the teeth’s that are worn.
It is the small toothed wheel that has a play before it actually moves the big toothed metal part.
Missed to check the other door and it has exactly the same play so I assume it’s by design.

Sound damping my doors on my S2 OTS and overhauling my window frame and mechanism. Should there be a play in the window lift mechanism, seems like the small toothed weeel have a 60 degree play before the mechanism starts moving. Like the small wheel rotate a bit on its shaft before it starts to move...

Thanks..

Someone seems to re-threaded the gearstick to fit a newer knob.
I’m trying to put it back to original but can’t find out which thread I should use.
Can’t fit the lower “cone” as in picture.

I changing my whole interior and have removed the old felt sound damper for some new sound deadening material, when I noticed that the original harness has been modified and is surrounded with plastic electric tape :thumbdown: I’m now trying clean it up but need a wiring diagram for this harness/loo...

Took 3 days to tidy up the damaged tooth’s on the ring. Got a new starter motor today from SNG after I talked to Powerlite and SNG Barrat, they where both very helpful. Mounted the new one and tested it without spark plugs, spins very nice and no strange grinding or other strange noises. Still, when...

Good idea, I will try if I can access it from beneath.

I've called Powerlite this morning and as expected, they where very helpful. Decided that they probably send a small kit to fix the broken spring on the shaft since the starter is new and it's easier and quicker than returning the whole unit for a new one. The flywheels ring gear is another story, I...

I couldn't leave it so I started to really check where the play occurred and it's actually the rubber on the steering rack mounting that moves a lot before the wheels turn. To soft maybe but I will change to polyurethane just to get rid of that problem. Still, there is a little noticeable play in th...

I replace my old starter motor to a Powerlite gear reduction starter motor a 2 years ago. I did notice that it had problem getting the starter motor to really engage to to the flywheel ring gear but thought it had to "wear in" a little. Today it just spins when I turn the key so I removed it, tested...

Sorry for slow response but haven’t had time to scrutinize the problem, it’s a LH driven car without power steering. The plan is to wait until our short Swedish summer season has ended and then remove and try replace worn parts and rebuild it. Thanks for the input, will probably lift this thread whe...

I rebuild almost all suspension/ steering 2020, but I didn’t do anything to the steering rack. At the time I couldn’t notice any play on the removed steering rack but later when remounted I notice a little play on the steering wheel. It’s a little annoying since I sometimes have to compensate a litt...

After SWMBO got involved the color choices dramatically changed :wink: There will be some kind of beige, sand or maybe magnolia (John Skinner ltd), for the interior. Most likely magnolia as in picture below but with black seats, armrest(box) and front floor carpets, everything else in magnolia. Will...

My black interior looks very tired and it's time to put in new carpets, sill covers etc. The car is white and I have already restored the seats and they are black but thinking of changing colour on the rest of the interior to like "tan brown" or grey. Has anyone a two colour interior and can share s...
