Re: Rear tailgate seal

Hi Kev,

Many thanks for this, I think looking at the seal I would have to glue it to make it hold in place.

thanks

Re: registration of U.S. import.

Hi Tim/Phil

What did you guys put where it asks Period of tax applied for i.e. 6 or 12 months

Did you just leave blank?

I do not need to tax mine as it is still WIP

thanks

Hi Phil,

Just a question, did you register your car before the completion of your restoration?

Re: Heater controls LHD to RHD

Hi Steve, Yes I have printed this off, it's a very good guide, but I cannot see any reference as to if the cables remains as is or not. Do you know if the heater flap and control valve are always operated from the left hand side of the car? So for example on a LHD car the control to operate the flap...

Re: Gearbox bellhousing

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback, glad I posted the pictures.

The seller on E bay does have the correct bell housing, he is sending a replacement

Maybe my existing starter motor will fit this when it arrives

many thanks

Re: Gearbox bellhousing

Hi Steve,

Yes just checked, your right, the person I bought it off sold them as a "pair" although they came in separate packages and I have not tried "mating" them until now.

Just mailed the seller.

Will let you know the outcome

thanks
