Thanks for your reply and your suggested solution to my fuel line problem. I asked at the local Technical College about the fuel line and it was suggested that as the fittings are BSP I should try a local hydraulic fittings company and have one made up. I will post the solution here - if I ever...

Thank you, keynsham1. Following on from the above, I have been in contact with Intek Adhesives (http://www.intek-uk.com) who manufacture a product called Duralac which will protect against galvanic corrosion. I have attached the Technical Specification for information. Unfortunately they only...

Thank you all for your responses. I intend to use stainless bolts to hold the mirror in place and I have bought excellent gaskets from Classe Parts to go between the mirror bases and the doors. I would like to use steel nuts but the insertion tool is too expensive. Tape or primer it will be...

I am planning on attaching the door mirrors to my P6 using aluminium rivnuts instead of self-tapping screws. Is there likely to be a corrosion issue due to disimilar metals being in contact? If so, how can I prevent or minimise it?

Dear All I am after two items, if anyone has them lying around spare. Guinness vouchers to an appropriate amount will be handed over in exchange. 1. Front brake shims for a 1973 V8 - I've got some but not a full set. 2. This one is more difficult. I need the fuel pipe fitting described in the...

Thanks Rich. I have found Mouse mats to be a source of good quality foam - you can usually get freebie ones in goodie bags at car shows or computer fairs. Regards Elfyn

I am stripping as many useable parts off my 1975 2200SC to use as spares on my 1973 3500. Does anybody know if the heater matrix is interchangeable between the two? If so, I will remove the one from the 2200, have it serviced and keep it as a spare. Be warned - there will be more questions about...

Pictures will be posted when enough bits are bolted back on for it to be recognised as a P6 - and when it comes out from under the dust sheets - watch this space..... Regards Elfyn

Hello everyone. My name is Elfyn Hughes and I live in Anglesey. My two sons bought me a 1973 3500 in 2003 as a "project". It has been a project ever since, but is now getting close to completion - nearly all of the work having been done by my youngest son. I am a member of the Rover P6 Club -...
