Re: SEAT RUNNERS SPACER DIAGRAM?
I believe I have the dimensions of the spacers, but I am in the UK at the moment. If you can’t locate them by the time I get home, I’ll post them for you once home. Mike

Re: E type Car Shows
It seems our timing for our UK trip is not conducive for car shows.
You have quite a trip planned through BC and the Rockies! Enjoy! Drop me a note if you are in the Penticton area.

Re: Moss gearbox easy(?) oil leak fix?
There are two o-rings that seal the reverse shaft and the countershaft where they protrude through the rear of the transmission. https://i.postimg.cc/N0pPWJ9g/Spare-Parts-Manual-81.jpg Circled in red is where the shafts protrude out and the other is the retainer that holds the shafts in place. https...

I had a leak at the rear of my Moss box and it was one of the o-rings at the rear of the transmission.

Re: Locking brakes 1963 S1 FHC 3.8
From JL archives Thank you to Alan Grossman and Jerry Mouton! I don’t think it’s a booster problem, it should have cleared up right away. 45 minutes says it’s a brake temperature problem. Typically with a hydraulic problem, the masters don’t back off quite enough to fully open the relief valve at th...

Re: Locking brakes 1963 S1 FHC 3.8
I had the same issue and as Randal did, resolved by shortening the master cylinder rod. It was a new master cylinder from one of the usuals. I believe I shortened it by a 1/2".

Hence the car is riding a little high. Any recommendations on where to purchase new springs? All t...
