Hi all   MKII stag with RV8.....   1 inch lower front springs....standard rear springs.  New shocks all round.   the rear ride height is uneven...Near side is approx 3/4 inch higher than offside.   any suggestions/advice on cause/fix would be greatly appreciated    Many thanks        

Thanks Guys. Done it.  Swapped out the old milled down RV8 inlet manifold for a JWR dual plane Offy with a drop base 14 inch dia air cleaner......the bulge is no more.

Hi all Got hold of a pair of BMW E46 coupe seats.....Even when powered down to the lowest position they were too high. I mounted them on to the Stag runners.....Phooodoo....still too high. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Suggestions welcomed......might even end up re-trimming the originals but I really want the comfort of a modern seat.

Hi all I've just removed my old (twin) choke cable and fitted a single cable to my Holley carb.  Can anyone advise on how to refit the choke cable switch. I couldn't really see how it was fitted to the original cable.  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks LB

Hi all Thanks for the comments/feedback.  Good to see that practicality and comfort are taking precedent over originality. Long may it continue

BTW, I see you are French blue....same as mine.

Hi all Thanks for the feedback. Floyd, those BMW seats look great.  I'll see what's on flea bay.  I could definitely live with the non standard alternative especially since I intend to use the car as often as possible....in comfort.  Was it an easy fit in terms of replacing the runners.

Hi all Has anyone swapped their front seats for a more comfortable alternative?  I'm really looking for something with more lumbar support. Any suggestions and pics would be appreciated Thanks

Hi GT6 M Can you recommend one....and can it be used in conjunction with the gasket?

Excellent....many thanks Richard and all. Very much appreciated Regards LB

Thanks Guys couldn't see the number on the main housing but number on the ali cover is 305721(see attached images) thanks again Regards

Hi all I was just about to refit my diff cover, but......the gasket doesn't fit. Does anyone recognise this unit?   Any advice/comments would be appreciated. MIi 1976 - Rover V8 conversion. Thanks Les

Hi Can anyone advise on where I can pick up a discreet power bulge?  I have a rover V8 conversion fitted with a holley 390.  The bonnet thats on the car has a very crude scoop grafted to it which I would be pleased to see the back of. Thanks Les

Thanks Richard I'll give him a bell.  Probably worth taking it apart to determine exactly what needs changing.  I've done the drag strut bushes along with the anti roll bar and drop links.  But the car is sitting really high at the front.  I suspect that the struts have seized, as its not been driven since 1990, so the more I prod around, the more I find to replace.  Still, I l

Hi Charlie I've made a start on the front, no problems so far.  I was more concerned about the rear.....didnt know I they could be replaced without dropping the whole same or if they could be replaced by lowering a link or section at a time. I also need to change the from struts and springs but not sure where to purchase from as I have what looks like a rover V8 from a P6 fitted so not sure what length spring to buy of from where. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Lea

Hi Mark.  Very nice indeed.

Front and rear bushes are next on my to-do list. Is this relatively straight forward - will I need any special tooling?  May even change the shocks and springs whilst I'm at it. Any advice - pics would be appreciated. cheers

Thanks Richard. I've never seen a rear facing air filter before.  The top water hose is also a good solution.  My one has a long and convoluted rubber hose which looks like it may be prone to collapsing/restricting flow.  Manifolds also look a lot better than my cast units. Many thanks

Thanks Richard Much appreciated.

Hi all Can someone please post some pics of their RV8 engine bays please.  I've just agreed the purchase of my first stag which has an RV8 fitted with what looks like a Holley 390.  Would be good to see some pics for reference. Thanks
