I've spent the last two hours searching for this part!! Answers welcomed.

The urethane company (based on ur side of the pond) do a padded dash filler, I used it as a topcoat following what you are doing and it finished it really well. Now it's covered in new vinyl I can't tell where I repaired. Prob a lot cheaper your side too.

I needed a jack between the engine mount and the echaust bolts with a thick piece of wood, 5 hours and then it went pop.

I use one within my carcoon, keeps the battery tip top, and never a flat battery, I have mine permanemty wired in so just connect up, no open bonnets or messing with accessory sockets.

I got mine from paddocks and they fit well.

all mine were cut.

To prove it is the fuel I'm sure u can get "a system" that removes the ethanol obviously the cost per litre would go up but would be a good comparison.bim sure I read about it somewhere.

I'm planning on this upgrade, I love them, open windows in winter and a warm bum!!
Things to consider - power supply, both wires and alt output, they are quite hungry in terms of amps esp when u will use when fan on, heated rear screen etc.... I put a bigger alt in for that reason. Plan to fit when seats recovered. Whenever that may be.

I did the por 15 on mine. Had a little weep on one seem which it sorted lovely. If u do use this system get more of the cleaner as I needed two lots to get mine clean.

Also don't spill it on ur drive. Looks like vomit and it doesn't come off!!
T.

Looks, good where did you get it from?
T

Just don't get it on ur drive, looks like someone vomitted!! And u can't get it off!!

Por fuel tank kit as wim above, time consuming, but works a treat, saved my fuel tank!!

They are called scallops I think, got mine from a fixings place, they were trade only and would only sell 100 at a time but(for the 1st time for me) two were put in my hand with a wink, sound more dodgy than it actually was. Could dig out the place if needed.

Hi
Can't answer all your questions, but as I only took mine (mk3 gt6) apart on Tuesday I can't still remember!!
There should be a frat lined rubber in the channels on both ends -could be the source of the noise? There is a slight bend in the frame i think??!! I have two spare doors and they have the same bend in as well so unlikely to be coincidence!
I got my new bits from guy on in here, rarebits I think has a website, rarebitsforclassics.net
Hope some help.

Another vote for the por fuel kit, sorted my tank amazingly. I would suggest you get another bottle of cleaner as I did use most of the 2nd to get it really clean.
Don't spill the sealer though!!! Makes a mess of the drive -ask me how I know that!!!

10mm is what I used.

I used the rover 200 one from above company but they are not strong enough to hold open bonnet.
Not looked it anymore by but would be nice to hear how you do.
Mines mk3 gt6.

i'd never touched a carb before I rebuilt mine, got a rebuild kit from Andrew turner as advised above. Spent a lot of time cleaning, its amazing the dirt you get of something that looks clean to start with. and rebuild in reverse. lots of pics along the way helps as does only do one carb at a time.
can always get someone to rebuild later if you mess it up, but what you learn, and the satifcation you get when it works is immense! I did the same for the engine but I did have someone watching me for that one.

good luck and have a go.

Look in the for sale threads there was someone selling some and thread moved a few weeks ago.
T.

I have it fitted, but car still in resto and hence only idles now and then. No issues with it though, and the resto job they did on the dizzy was brill. Looked like new when it came back.
