Hagerty prices for series 1 4.2 FHC 1965 lower than I thought they’d be.

Anyone have or know where can I obtain published current eType Series 1 values ?

Many Thanks for the reply, what size drill should be used when using the plastic inserts to retain the badges?

Does anyone have a drilling template for the badge holes on the rear FHC tailgate (4.2 1965).

Do you where I can get the 2 small screws required to fit the spring clip to the seat hinge ?

My seats do not have any lever that I can see, the seat back is either up or folded down??, its a Jan 1965 4.2 FHC.

Sorry one other question, with 4.2 seats the back of the seats can be tipped forward, are the seat backs supposed to lock in the upright position, if so how?, as mine don't lock in the upright position they can be easily tipped forward.

Many Thanks for the explanation

Many thanks for the reply, the seat foam with seat cover look like they are fixed to the seat metal base, how are they fixed on /removed ?

I am planning to replace the seat base foam and rubber support on my S1 4.2 FHC 1965, but can't see how the base is fixed to bottom seat frame?

Many Thanks, how do the Moss overriders compare in terms of weight/quality to the originals ?

Once the engine is started and the brake pedal is pressed (without the car moving) there is a high pitched squeal from the front...

Many Thanks, my bumpers have been fully restored so was thinking of buying new overriders, are new ones of a decent quality?, who sells the best new overriders ?.

Many thanks for the reply, your photos have helped a great deal.The question now is do I source original used overriders and have them restored or buy new from say SNG or someone similar ???.

Many Thanks, much appreciated.

Many Thanks for the reply, the overriders were on the car as a pair a S1 1965 4.2 FHC, but I can't remember how they looked fiited.

Does anyone have or can take photos of how the rear overriders are supposed to sit on the bumpers please.

Hi, I have had my bumpers and overriders refurbed and started putting them together today. I have noticed on the rear bumpers the two overriders seems to sit differently (see below), one has a gap between it and the top face of the bumper and the other dose not. Which is correct (if any)?, the profi...
