The 'E' Type Forum

BRG is one of the most difficult colours to absolutely nail down as being the definitive shade. I would either take the car or a component such as the petrol filler cover to a a paint shop supplier and they will use equipment to exactly match yours.

Are you on some sort of cannabinol medication at the present GT Joey?

A very poor showing by vendors, and as Steve mentioned taking everything into consideration it was an expensive trip with very little to show for it. I don’t think these lacking events are confined to the UK. I’ve just returned from Hershey and it was well down on stall holders since I was last ther...

What Philip are you referring to out of interest.

It doesn’t do it for me!

As a matter of interest does any forum member already have a Strongman Clifton lift? If so can you post photographs of it lifting a FHC and the positions of the lifting points.

All interesting stuff, but is there an echo in here?

It seems to be common in the classic car and motorcycle replacement spare parts arena that the reproduction items are not the same. Surely when the supplier goes out to tender, the exact original spec is what’s s required whether it be to drawings or reverse engineered. It’s not rocket science.

Thanks Steve, I’ll investigate and report back.

The near side quarter window catch seems sloppy inso much that when the window is open and it’s fully extended as soon as you speed up the wind closes it. Is there anyway to tighten it up or recommendations to improve it. The opposite side is far stiffer and holds the window open with no issues.

For the moment maybe, until the woke society gets offended.I agree the whole world has gone mad and all the minority groups have so much power to change things. It makes me sick to the core.

Condensation in the gauges was always a problem in my Morgan and may other owners. The general consensus of other owners was to carefully drill a small hole in the bottom of the gauge casing around 2-3mm which seemed to solve the issue.

There are some pro’s and cons about fitting the foam seal on top of the radiator. What adhesive is used to fix it in place?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul by far the best type from your list and the only one i would use is the https://www.automotechservices.co.uk/products/as-7530d-garage-scissor-lift/ its electric and hydrailic..A friend has one...great piece of kit....you leave it in place on the garage floor and drive on/over it to park.......

There are a number of alternatives available, but what opinions do forum members have and recommend? I.e Good, better, best. https://www.automotechservices.co.uk/product-category/scissor-lifts/ http://www.sjrgarageequipment.co.uk/scissor-car-lifts/ https://www.holden.co.uk/p/car_lift_e_z_mobile_for_...

Heat shrink is the best option.

Bluecol 2 year is recommended as it is the traditional Ethylene Glycol type for classic vehicles. I’ve always used it without any issues.

A Very Merry Christmas to you all and especially a BIG thank you to the Administration and Moderators who keep this great forum in check.

I totally agree with what Geoff states and make sure you know what you are doing or it could prove costly in the end. Using easy out stud extractors can be fraught with problems as drilling the old stud must be central which is not the easiest with the head in situ.

I use a "nextbase" dash cam. Just plug into cigarette socket and go. Fixes well to screen, and easy to just switch from car to car. Fun when you plug into your home PC and watch your trip!

Hi Malcolm, Any particular Nextbase model as there are a few different types.
