Hi everyone,
A bit of help please........with regard to carpet sets, I was just wondering if the floor pan shape on a LHD 1969 roadster would be the same as a LHD Series2 2+2......? A carpet set is on offer for the roadster and I was wondering if they would fit my 2+2.
Any help appreciated.

I recently went through similar woes and ended up needing to replace my splined yoke. I called around and Welsh Enterprises in Ohio had several used ones on hand, at a reasonable price. Good luck,

Many thanks for the info Michael, I will bear that in mind.

Hi Andrew, Christopher, Robbie (and Steve), My name is Andy, Steve (mgcjag) very kindly posted the original post on the forum on my behalf.

Many thanks Mark, Chris and Steve, you have all been most helpful.
Steve, unfortunately I won't be at Bicester this time, maybe next year when the E-type is all up and running nicely.
Thanks again to all of you for the advice/tips.

Being a new and enthusiastic owner of a LHD 1969 S2 2+2 I hope all you good peeps out there will put up with all my forthcoming posts for help and advice. To start with, I have a serious oil leak that continuously (and quite rapidly) drips down off the center of the front of the crankcase cover, com...

Hi Guys, Many thanks for all your suggestions and ideas, they were most valuable. I thought I would give you all an update.............. After all your helpful posts, I decided to initially go down the fuel problem route. So, prior to draining the fuel tank and putting in fresh petrol I first of all...

Thanks Andrew,

Just the sort of reply I can do without!

I would have thought it pretty obvious that had I known of a competent mechanic familiar with the marque I would have tried that course of action in the first place!

Thanks Chris, I will try that first.
Kind regards,
Andy

Many thanks Steve and Julian for your replies. Julian, does the vacuum pipe from the inlet manifold to the servo route itself via the bulkhead? There is a pipe next to a water pipe at the left hand side of the inlet manifold (back of the engine) that goes straight into the bulkhead. Many thanks for ...
