Nice one Gunner.  It looks stunning and I am sure you will have plenty of fun driving her!  One to hang on to. Rich

Looks amazing Gunnar.  Look forward to seeing her on the road - and what a fantastic find. Where are you?

Wow, looks great 👍

Thanks for the advice Rob

Hi Hazan I'm interested to know how the vinyl came out.  In the pics I can't see the 'Ash Tray' dip which on the original is well defined.  Most people who cover their dash pads seem to keep the original vinyl on and cover that - so interested to see if you are getting clean lines (particularly around the ash tray) covering the original foam. Many thanks Rich

Hi Hazen Wondering if you've got any further with your dash crash pad?  I'm about to cover mine so interested to hear any pitfalls? Many thanks Rich

Thinking about it, probably the recess is to account for the felt since they would need to align across the font edge where they mount on the transverse support wheel arch to wheelarch.  So remains a mystery. I'll probaly make a new spare wheel board and go with the the thinner thickness therefore - with a thick felt strip and add support (maybe polystyrene) on top of the spare wheel. Strange!

Now that I look at them again, I think it's intentional.  The thicker board is over the spare wheel and is the one thats bowed.  I'm guessing that it's thicker because it's not supported in the middle where the tank board probably is by the tank.  In fact there is a plate fixed along the edge of the fuel tank board to support the spare wheel board.  The plate is NOT flat and is actually recessed for something wider.  Also the spare wheel board has a strip of felt along the same joint (that sits on the supporting plate..  The shape of the plate suggests a different tickness unless that's supposed to account for the felt strip.    I'm sure that neither are DIY copies BTW, the detail and fixings are too good. Many thanks Rich

Hi all I'm refering to the 2 boards covering the spare wheel and the Fuel tank respectivelly. Looking at the detail on them, mine are almost certainly original GT6 but I notice that one is about 1.5mm thinner than the other. Seems very odd - has anybody else come across this? I need to make a new board to cover the spare wheel as mine is badly bowed. Obviously thicker is best but wondering if there could be any explanation? Maybe I have a mk 3 and a mk 2 board or something? Really not sure. Many thanks for any advice. Rich

Thanks all.  I'll check the thrust washer & pivot pin first.  If hydralic I'll probably change both cylinders to be sure.  They are both well old looking at them.  

OK thanks.  Can I see it from under the car?

Hi all My 1500 spit (76) won't go into gear.  It was fine, then started crunching into some gears now impossible to engage unless the engine isn't running. Actual engagement is very low on the pedal.  No fluid leaks. Bled clutch.  Was fine for a bit then started doing exacrly the same. I was about to change the slave but do you think it could be the master? Any advice appreciated. Many thanks Rich

Helloo.  Does anybody have any experience of using XRN Engineering parts over Borg & Beck please (which are twice the price) in terms of quality / long lasting please.  Changing the Clutch Slave Cylinder (spit 1500). Many thanks for any advice, much appreciated. Rich
