How do I get rid of this stupid box on my display.
It drives me mad what’s 8t doing there?

These comments are really useful,,please keep them coming.!!

Steve no I wasn't going to make the tunnel removable but wanted to make a panel shape that would allow cooling and ease of fitment/ service requirements. I've been discouraged by the lack of information together with the thought of "butchering" my bulkhead. Lots o people have put a v12 onto a 8hp70 ...

yes noted thanks
I've been looking at the structure of the floor and bulkhead meeting....

I’m going for it with the ZF I’m planning to make the tunnel variation by removing the current tunnel down to the floor and from the bulkhead etc. would anyone be interested in the new tunnel fabrication as a set of pics or videos? Th box is quite large so the body G/B distance is my greatest concer...

Hello all, I’m thinking of changing my 4sp with overdrive gbox,for a ZF8HP70. I know that there are quite a few bits I’ve either got to fabricate or buy but I wonder if anyone has done this conversion here in the club. The car is a V12 HE OTS currently in big pieces !!!., Any information about this ...

I noticed this thread whilst looking for something else.... My wife, after extensive research utilising removed human body parts, at the end of her PhD, set the W.H.O.levels for cadmium exposure in the working environment and also in the atmosphere surrounding such plants. She agrees with the genera...

Has anyone taken a pair of chromed pierced steel wheels apart to be replated and then rewelded or does anyone know who can chrome the intact whole wheel ..if so how did it go and who did it,
Thanks all.

Sorry everyone,I’m fitting a new floor at the rear of the car……and I have looked hard into this detail on postings but not found a reply. Can anyone tell me in mm the distance from the centre of the bolt in the radius arm cup to the outer surface of the bulkhead and also the distance to the centreli...

So with the “project”in mind what information would you steer me towards!
One of the essential problems is attachment as I see it. Thoughts?.

Steve I've been in a no fault rollover in a TR6 it's no fun and we were trapped for 40 mins due to the land we landed on.all at about 20mph. We could have been better off I suppose if we weren't wearing a seat belt do you think!!.thrown out sideways. Any help in that situation I see as a benefit. I'...

Now that I’m coming to an end with my S3 ots body refurb I’m thinking about random stuff , amongst which is the concept of some form of passenger roll over protection. Has anyone experience of such or any opinions about the concept? I think I know where to make the mountings, but do I go for 2 short...

Does anyone have any pictures of a series 3 sporting a roll bar behind the two occupants.
Just thinking of something.
Any pics will do even if in the distance. If anyone has actually put a passenger roll bar (NOT cage ) into their car please advise.
Many thanks in advance.

Colin now that you've said lanolin anti corrosion protection I see why they look so shiny oh shiny shiny!
I might try smearing them with my beard oil it has lanolin in ...so the easy solution is to keep them on my pillow

I’ve just taken delivery of a full set of irs mount compression tools from Iowact.. They came in the best packages I’ve ever tried to open (several mins with snips) and when opened revealed some really nicely made bits of kit, Thanks forum for spreading the word. My only question now is,to stop any ...

Hello happy new year to all…. has anyone experience of wrapping or ceramic coating exhaust manifolds / down pipes to reduce under bonnet temperatures.
Best choice wrapping or coating?
Peter.

I have had great success with the product made by Dacrylate. It’s east to apply and can be bought as : IMPLAMEL SPF. It’s easy to apply and has proven good for 10yrs on some of my front gates at my pervious house. It takes a colour well and the surface isn’t too shiny. https://dacrylate.co.uk/produc...

Colin, thank for those concise thoughts. I am not a great lover of the “chunky look” per se, but would like to give my finished car a slightly wider, lower , slightly more “racey” appearance. …a difficult compromise. I do have another consideration, in that the rear hubs are from and XJ40 (to get ou...

Ahh well you see Steve that’s why I ask the question in the S3 bit of the forum, but I’m thankful for the info about Amazon gadgets.. I’ll make one now I’ve seen the pattern.
It’s all go isn’t it.Cheers
