Hi Casper,
thanks, does the base only move forward or does it fold?
There are two very rusty mountings below the seat base at the rear.

Hi,
somehow there is now a Herald Estate in the garage  ;) .
Restoration has to wait, however I wanted to remove seats and (scruffy) carpets.

I´m not able to fold the rear seats. What is my fault.

Cheers Martin

Hi Nick,
my original Manual says:

Bore in Block:  46,82 - 46,858 mm
Cam Journal: 46,741 - 46,745 mm
Clearance: 0,066 - 0,117 mm

For the inserting Spitfire MK3 bearings we bored exactly 50,00 mm.

Sad to hear the story from the block / line boring.

Cheers
Martin

Producer is the company Mattig ( www.mattig.de ) or direct link to the wheels http://www.mattig.de/content/index.php?option=com_phpshop&page=shop.browse&category_id=ab2b0e8bbec775d5a1f82ea8710f7d00&Itemid=1
These are the only ones with a TÜV certificate.
Into the wheel Weller and Mattig is pressed.
Quality is very good.

Hi,
agree to Nick, the currently sold rubber mountings are questionable quality.
Moss sells UKC8330 uprated ones. Happy with them for 2 years now.
