Hi, thanks for the photos. l have now outed the cable along the underside of the top engine frames. This way it avoids all sharp edges etc.

Hi, Series 1, 2+2. I have routed my starter motor cable from the battery area, across the lower picture frame and am now going up the engine frame diagonal towards the starter motor. When I get to the area of the engine mounting does the cable go over or under the engine mounting ? Both leave the ca...

Hi. I am in the process of mounting the steering rack. I have identified the short spacers that are fitted to the drivers side but have two spacers 1, 1/8 inches long 'left over'. Where should they be fitted?
Thanks

Thanks Steve.
Next weekends job.

Hi has anyone removed the picture frame whilst leaving the side frames and the engine in place ?
Anything I need to watch out for? Do I support the engine ? etc

Thanks Andrew. I will look out to see what we can fit in around what the grandkids have planned for us.

Hi, my wife and I are flying out to Adelaide tomorrow, returning late January. Visiting daughter and grandkids.
I just wondered if there are any events going on during that time.
Thanks

2+2 still in bits .

Hi, does anyone on here own the ex Chris Harvey car? I have a little bit of history to go with it.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Hi, there is a felt seal, BD19031, that is fixed to the top of the stone guard that sits in front of the radiator. Not surprisingly mine is missing. Does anyone know which way it fits? Parts list says self tappers. Does anyone have a photo? Is it wise to put a strip of felt here, seems to me like an...

Thanks John.
Silver Hamerite will do the job.

Hi what colour should the grill in front of the radiator be painted on a series 1 2+2 ? Mine has been seems to have been several colours .
Steve

Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I will go down that route when I get around to the brake rebuild.

Hi, I've been reading old posts re brake pads. Mintex 1144 seem favourite over greenstuff. what are the preferred pads when Zeus 4 piston callipers are fitted to the front ?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks.
Mine were not standard rivets. They appeared to be a small rectangular plate, about 15mm x 6mm with a brass screw brazed into it. These then slid along the chrome trim to line up with the holes. Probably home made.
Thanks again
Steve

Hi, does anyone know the part number of the fixings that hold the chrome trims on, either side of the scoop?
I cant find them listed in the series 2 parts list
Thanks
Steve

Hi, whilst looking through my Series 2 parts list I came across the following on page B17. The chrome surrounds, eyebrow etc and bead along the bonnet ( BD35668,70,94,69,71,95) are all as expected listed as having a chrome finish. However a little further down the page the same parts albeit with dif...

H, when I fit the curtain around the roof do I glue it to the roof fully or just at the lower edge where it is covered by the cantrail? Or does the cantrail itself hold the curtain lower edge in place?

Steve, series 1 2+2, very slowly coming together.

Thanks Carsten.
Steve

Hi Carsten, thanks for the offer of photos. The only real query I still have is the diameter and thickness of the brass washers that fit between the mechanism and the seat. Are they just 'normal' washers or anything special?
