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

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?
Steve

Thanks for the replies
I have to admit that mine has been like it is for at least 25years without any problems. Every day is a learning day.
Steve

Hi,
does anyone know the purpose of the torsion bar connecting the forward links on the rear seat squab assembly? Part number BD28572. Mine has threaded studs on each end, brass washers and locking nuts are missing.
Steve,
series 1 2+2,
in less bits than before I retired.

Hi, are there any seats that are known to fit a series1 2+2 other than MX5 ones?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks Tim, I will cover them.
Steve

Hi, Series 1 2+2.
Are the brackets that are welded to the sill and the transmission tunnel that support the rear end of the seat sliders, left painted or covered in Vinyl?
Thanks
Steve

Hi On a series 1 2+2 do the following areas have underfelt ? Under the rear seat. This area has the original stuck on diamond pattern sound deadening. On the vertical face where the two access panels are to get at the handbrake pads. There was evidence of glue in this area. On the horizontal area ab...

Hi, if there is anyone out there with the ex Chris Harvey car, now believed to be in the Eastbourne area, please pm me as I may have a little bit of history about the car and how it is connected to my car.
Thanks
Steve
