thanks for the advice, got the job done today and opted to unbolt the halfshafts and push them upwards out of the way. That made the job quite straightforward
-
That's great thanks, so i might be unbolting my half shafts again
-
Is there a trick to fitting the rear section of the handbrake cable, in particular getting the threaded section through the curved guides? thanks
-
Intersting car, whats going on with the oil cooler lines? Mine has a saloon engine with twin HS4’s but no bulge in the bonnet, I also had mine up for 2.5k less and needs less work than that, prices are all over the place :-/
-
Been driving the GT6 again recently and I need to get these lights sorted, does this wiring diagram look right Aside from the fact it shows four headlights :)
-
Cheers, so 155/70/13 would suit, the car is a gt6 on standard 4 1/2†steel rims
-
Looking at replaceing my ageing tyres for more modern ones, currently fitted with 155/13’s but need to know tge best sidewall profile, or any recommendations for makes etc, Thanks

rotoflex wrote:Good selection of heater to put in the car for the operation! An open filament resistance heater or quartz heater could be a fire hazard. Yeah it worked brilliantly as it was radiated heat, not direct. With the old duvets and blankets over the window holes it was really hot in there too

Heres some pics of mine, from Paddocks. Quality is good and I had just enough to do the A and B pillars, plus a slither under the rear windows. I used bulldog clips to hold it, and left the oil filled heater in the car for around 2 hours to get the headliner warm so I could pull out all the creases, then glued
-
I would replace it just because, you need imperial fittings, 7/16 I think
-
Cheers guys, thats fantastic, I’ll get on it
-
So my GT6 headlights are dreadfull, whats the best option for upgradeing, and is there much needed to make it work? Thanks
-
Been fitting up new rear slave cylinders to my roto GT6, now am I right in thinking they should be free to silde back and forth and if so why would they then have a metal pipe fitted to them and not a flexi, thanks
-
been stripping my seats today and althouh my foam is still in one piece, it might be best to replace them, are the parklane ones up to the job, they are a lot cheaper....
-
cool, thats cleared up my latest problem too
-
Thanks Nick, here's what I started with, unfortunately, I'de made a start before reading your post and steamed in and cut the wishbone free, leaving the remains of the bolt in the verticle link.Mainly because you can see the head of the bolt was no use I only did this on one side and took both over to my friend who has an oxy kit, the side with the intact bolt came out eventually, but the cut side wouldn't budge. I then resorted to plan B, and decided to try drilling. This didn't end well and now I need a new verticle link, D'oh! In hindsight I should have left the parts on the car and brought the heat to the car, never mind, you live and learn.....
-
The bolts on the rear uprights, the ones that hold the lower wishbone in place is completely seized into the upright. Is it safe to heat with gas and air or is there another way? I don't fancy trying to drill it out
-
they look nice, where did you get the vinyl kote from?
-
Ok, I'm about to re-furb my interior, for which I have some bits in white and some in tan. I was thinking of doing the whole lot in red to match the pipeing in the carpets, will dyeing give me consistent results or will I end up with a 2 tone interior? Pics would be good, thanks
-
I don't know if this is a Mk3 or not, but I guess you've seen this? You'de need to be quick though [Sorry, link no longer available]

I really like the tan interior in mine, but the seat base on the drivers side has been rovered with black vinyl I can't find anyone who can sell me just one seat cover which will match my passenger seat and rear seat, so may have to retrim the whole intwerior, but this means recovering a near mint passenger seat and rear, so not sure what direction to go
-
Looking forward to seeing the interior, mines BRG with a new tan interior but the drivers seat is shot. Are you recovering everything or re-using some parts?
-
um, yeah, nice spit, but more pics of the ladeez please:)

its simple enough to take the sender out and test it on the bench surely?
