Thanks, just what I needed to know.

Hi can someone tell if the original Lucas 5 connector for the wiper motor,was different shape to the modern replacement. I cannot find any pictures.

Adam

Maas for polish you can get it at Lakeland stores best I have found .Hot Spot fireplace paint for the manifolds stays on really well.

Adam

Bresco .com sell them in the UK ,saves paying import duty.

Hi, first you have to make a wax pattern of the part then make a refractory mould then place mould into a burn out furnace to remove wax, melt metal and cast. I have to explain that i'm a dental technician so its what I do day in day out! Luckily I'm able to make and repair some parts.

I didn't know they made one. It was easy to make and works well.

Having read the threads about the Cheney clips, I decided to see if I could make myself a special tool to make it easier to tighten them up, without ruining the heads. Here's what I came up with.... I made the small part using the lost wax technique to fit the screw head in cobalt chrome (metal dent...

Here's a picture of the finished products - hired the assembly tool from the JEC... easy to use, and still got all my fingers! Stickers from AlfaStop and painted with BS381633 RAF Grey Blue, Springs from DMG. http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o227/littleonelaura/20150221_102130.jpg http://i121.phot...

Thanks Martin I just received some 10mm od 8mm id that's meant to be the correct pipe. where can you buy the correct pipe.

Adam

Hi can anyone tell the correct diameter of the nylon fuel pipe.

Adam

Place a small piece off blu tac inside top of spinner, tighten up to see if its bottoming out it should leave a witness mark.

Adam

I had the same problem with repro spinners. I had to machine out the spinners at the top inside to allow spinners to tighten fully.

Adam

Hi it would be kind if you called the paint on the dust shrouds and shocks a transit primer. better to buy them, paint yourself and put them together. I will post pics soon and give ride height comparison between old and new.

Adam

Hi hope you get it sorted out, DMG couldn't have been more helpful.

Adam

Hi i used olds gold from frosts worked well.
Adam

No they don't have blue or yellow paint on them. they are gloss powder coated and marked C25939*.

Adam

my original springs have settled I think. I have DMG springs to put on new Boge shocks, the springs look more like the originals than SNG springs. I will post results when they are on the car, its weather I use top spring locater or not?

Adam

Sorry my mistake. Mines not that early but I have been looking at pictures of restored IRSs, sad I know some seem to have them others don't. SNG website shows them fitted to there assembled Boge shocks

Adam

Hi the parts manual for my 3.8 calls for an alloy spring locater, that goes between dust shield and spring part no C19027. On the SNG website, it also shows the part used on there assembled boge shocks.?
Adam

Hi, its only the spring and the way its mounted to the damper, and eye to eye length that effects ride height. Damper on its own can be moved to any position you want and left there, it has no rebound quality without the spring. If bottom spring mounting was moved closer to top eye, as on early cars...
