Unfortunately I don't think they are; IIRC they aren't like the ones I had on my V8. All four are this style (front and rear are slightly different though). Mike

Unless somebody else wants them sooner, no problem. I've stored them for 7 years so another few months won't hurt! Mike

Gloveboxes, door cards and pull handles. Beige colour (Buckskin?). Gloveboxes are generally ok but need a good clean and the door cards aren't great but may provide templates. V8 manual radiator. Poor condition but I kept it in case I needed an exchange item for a recore. There are other little...

Many thanks, I'll add it to my list of stuff to give away! Cheers, Mike

Is this wiper mechanism off a P6? If so, what type? I got it in a box of (supposedly) P6 bits years ago. It's a standard Lucas motor and P6 type delay mechanism, but a rod linkage, not the usual push/pull cable. http://www.flickr.com/photos/65393546@N ... hotostream...

I'm going through my garage finding P6 bits I no longer need. I'll add to the list as I find stuff and remove from the list as/when things get taken. PM me if interested or you have questions. Collection from Yate near Bristol. All used parts unless stated. No guarantees offered. Preference...

Thanks for the replies and PMs but there's been a change of plan. Despite the pleadings of my daughters, I had made up my mind to sell it for whatever I could get for it, just to give me a clean slate to get on with the myriad of other jobs I have to do. :( My wife suggested that maybe I could...

Due to various other commitments (mainly resto of my Mini) my P6 has been sat forlornly on the drive for 16 months since the gearbox started to play up; it had passed an MOT only a week or two before this happened. The box had been fitted with all new friction plates about 500 miles before, but...

I had a similar problem with delay on brakes releasing and IIRC it was due to the small piston in the servo operated by the air valve. I can't remember how I diagnosed it but I stripped the servo, cleaned up the bores and all was well. Mike

A very late reply but never mind... The Frost kit is actually a 'Mityvac'. Several years ago I borrowed one off a guy at work to bleed the rear brakes and it was so good, I bought one a month later. Even easier than a Gunson Easy-Bleed, and can be used to check many other things on the car (eg...

I thought AF was 'across flats', ie the size of spanner to fit the nut. Mike

I got a pair of NOS inertia belts for £10 each a couple of years ago from a local factors - it's worth asking if they have anything as they often put old stock out of sight. To fit them I needed a spacer to lift them above the seat back. I used a 4" length of 2" square steel tube (approx 1/4"...

Dave, No probs, I've got the other box loosely assembled if you want a look at what you're letting yourself in for! Mike
