Hi all,im replacing the front oil seal on a herald [nut with split pin] ive removed the original metal cased seal and the new one arrived today.The new one is thinner than the original,do i knock it in untill its flush with the top of the diff housing or knock it down further untill it stops on the small lip? Many thanks

Many thanks guys yes it is the diff with the mentioned nut and split pin,when i released the nut i clamped the square coupling plate with a large wrench which was clamped in a vice [ 70 lbs is some torque to release]i will just repeat the proceedure when doing up.Many thanks

Hi all,sorry to be a pain im sure this has been asked many times but i cant find the information.Ive just replaced the front pinion oil seal[68 1200 herald] and im ready to replace nut,i just want to confirm torque and proceedure please? Thanks N

HI,I have a lot going on at present so listing lots of different questions.Has anyone fitted the arch replacement panels [thin strip] my question is are they flat?or do they curve slightly from top to bottom?my wing arches curve slighty from the recess shape to the tyre,cant get to see another herald to compare maybe some kind member could check theirs and let me know.Regards Neil

Many thanks,yes they do stick out at the bottem one appears worse than the other however they do require replacement due to corrossion.They are baddly hollow in the middle with louds of filler and hammer blows,not sure if tub spread or just really badly fitted?i take it i should replace properly with correct angle@is it best to do these panels with scuttle and doors in situ???

Hi all,im currently doing a body off refurb.i noticed when purchased that the doors seemed to be either set in to far or to proud to the rear tub alignment,i new there was rust around that area so was not to concerned.ive now removed paint and filler between doors and rear wheel arch to find that this area has previously been replace but a total bodge,the repair panels are not angled correctly.Does any body know of a body profile from top of wing to bottom of replacement panel showing correct profie shape or possible solution i know this is probably a stupid question but im sure someone may have an answer.Regards Neil

Hi all,i need to purchase a rotary cutter so i can cut out rusted panel pieces.i would prefer electric at this stage and it needs to be small with dics for fine cutting.I see the Dremel but is it man enough? all thoughts and advice greatfully reeived.Neil

Thanks for all advice,my 1200 is a 1968 so i take it its the anodised type? is there companies that will refurb these? Neil

Hi everyone,i have a 1200 chrome type grill which is poor condition,has anyone refurbed one,and if so how? Many thanks Neil
