I had this problem with the drivers seat. The teeth on the locking mechanism where worn.
I pulled the hinge assembly apart and turned the toothed segment around.
It now works fine.

V12 Intake Port Dimensions

I'm making up a ITB manifold for a 1971 V12.
Would anyone have the measurements for intake port diameter and spacing?
Are the spacings all the same?

Thanks

Replaced the alt with one from a 75-80 series Land cruiser. (110A) Gotta love Toyota stuff. (a 3UZ or 1GZ in an e-type would be awesome.)
Works perfectly, after some rewiring and bracket spacers etc.
Can post pics, if anyone is interested.

New centres for Wire wheels

The centre hubs in my wire wheels are worn on the spline and the taper. Anyone know where I can get new centres put in them in Aus? preferably near Sydney.

Hi Guys, I want to replace the alternator with a modern type. preferably one I can just go and order from repco. I have seen a few kits for mounting it next to the engine, but I have an A/C pump there. Does anyone know of a kit available? or have you done one DIY? What alternator did you use? Though...

s3 Brake Pulse

Hi Guys. I Have recently taken over as custodian of an injected V12 s3. Took it for a shake down run, (an automotive epiphany, what an awesome car) and noticed that when I apply the brake peddle pushes back on initial application then works normally. Anyone seen this problem before? Any ideas on how...
