Hi Barry I already have Simon from SNG on the case...Barratt’s claim they have re-tooled to improve fit...but as I noted in the original post the gasket they supplied is exactly the same as from Wilkinson’s...so clearly not a unique product.... Simon hasn’t phoned back yet...let’s see what he says a...

Hi Andrew
Dependant on what CMC say, I have another solution in mind...will report back

Hi Steve and Dave

Would appreciate any feedback, good or bad so I can pass it on

Thanks

+1 for the Fosseway moulded hoses..probably not the cheapest but the tapered fit on that one is perfect
Mine needed a bit of trimming but they look superb


Jonathan

Beautiful story....
Thank you Julian

Excellent...well done...must be satisfying it’s all basically working...just needs adjustments...

I don’t see any physical reason why this couldn’t work...but would like to know if ...

Paul If you can keep the faces then I would do so...you cannot replace the character of old leather I recover and repair leather steering wheels for early 911’s, as a hobby ( of sorts) so appreciate the quality and character of originality Why don’t you begin try it and see what you think...if you a...

If Julian was happy to help here perhaps we could ask him to supply these rivers....I watched his staff build up new rear lights a few years back and looked in envy on the boxes of copper rivets they had for these...

I spent ages cleaning my old ones...and to avoid the problem of painting in the unstretched position, I stretched them whilst painting.....

Hi Tom Given mines a 63 car I will go with the 45.24, as that is what it was built with Whilst I will have spent around 8 hours by the time I get back to where I am now, for me the restoration experience is a learning process, so never a waste of time It’s a journey...and it should always be somethi...
