Replacing the rings on my 2000. The top pic shows the originals which butted together (I think) and were held in place by the convuluted ring in the groove. The second pic shows the AE NOS replacements. No convuluted ring and I'm assuming they somehow are supposed to interlock together but I've...

I have discovered a hairline crack in the base of my block. Whats the general consensus, terminal or unlikely to cause any major concrn? Thanks in anticipation

Anyone got a set of std conrod (big end) bearings for a 2000 they want to sell. My local engineer has refused to regrind my crank to match the +010 set I had on the shelf cos is so close to original tolerances it would be criminal to regrind it! :):) I think the original part number is RTC1715S...

A very long shot but...... My brothers old car an Almond 3500S. Sold in 1981 to (I think) someone living in East Anglia. The last DVLA entry shows the tax expiring in 1982. So the new owner, it seems, stopped using what was then only a 7 year old car when the tax (which my brother probably sold...

Parts Catalogue lists pre and post 1970-ish flywheel/ring-gear listings. I assume this reflects inertia and pre engaged starter motor fitting. Geoff @Winns lists a ring gear but I'm guessing it's a later pre engaged type (as it says it fits 2200 as well as 2000) when I need it on an inertia...

Came across this whilst sorting out the shed today. Guess that's why the block has no engine number. Anyone know the significance of the numbers? Does it relate to a build year ?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26660470 Looks like South London/Surrey will be closed on 10th August. When they had this for the Olympics it caused chaos, A25 closes so everything uses M25 and unless you leave very, very early you'll probably hit it. Be warned! Nick, Godalming will...

Bit of a long shot but anyone got a good NOS Dunlop handbrake cable (534963) lying around they want to trade/sell? I have a NOS Girling Handbrake cable I'd be happy to trade for it or let me know how much you want. Best to email me at ......... partviking1@gmail.com Thanks Alan

Kept waiting for others to upload their pics ...................but no one has so thought I would start it off to see if the floodgates now open. Go on, I've shown you mine.........................now you show me yours! :D :D Alan

I picked this up at Coughton Court on Sunday. I didn't realise just how important it was as I was initially taken with his pristine red cover SC parts catalogue and almost viewed this as a freebie of no significance. However when I looked more closely I realised it was a genuine factory...

Anyone know where I can purchase a good clamp on badge bar? Trawling the Internet brings up a plethora of different dealers and ebayers. I've noticed many of them are now stainless rather than chrome and are the drill through type as well. Hopefully someone has recently purchased one and can...

Well the engine is finally back in my '63 car all ready (or not as the case may be) for Coughton Court but I have an annoying knock/rattle so i would appreciate your opinions on the my engine and the possible cause. It sounds like top end to me. I've had the cam cover off and checked the...

Does anyone have the above silencer or know of a source for either mild steel or stainless? It was the intermediate silencer on 3 can systems and originally fitted up to CH No 400-35390D. Either good used or NOS considered. I haven't yet tried the W's but it's not listed on their websites. PM...

I’m struggling to find a decent 165/80R14 tyre at a reasonable price (I need to buy 5no) but Kwik Fit are doing a Continental Eco 3 (rated a ‘best-buy’ by Which Magazine) in a 175/80R14 for £60.60 fully fitted each. I know they’ll fit the car OK and other than a slight increase in top gear from...

I have a Series 1 bonnet and a spare mount bootlid from a '68 TC (NO BOOTLID FITTINGS) that I need to move due to lack of room. I think they're Venetian Red though the paint is faded and the finish not to good. Based in 5 miles from Gatwick Airport will take £15 for the bonnet & £20 for the...

Never seen a tow bar like this before, looks as if it sticks out a mile....or is it my aging eyesight. Also looks like it might have been bolted through the floor.......all that V8 power being taken by the floor don't look good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VERY-NICE-197 ... 1c25bab377

Same car a few weeks apart......... ............assuming he paid the asking price not a bad dealer profit ...........and he hasn't even had to MOT it! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C288533

Can anyone advise the original seat belts that would have been fitted to a Nov 69 V8? Grey Irvin statics ? Inertia Reels ? For the record it has black statics with a tongue and clip coupling. The clip part being fixed to the floor with a long thick flexable plastic covered wire like on the...

Lovely car...... http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C282947 Anyone know of it or it's history. Certainly top end money

I've not been able to get on the website for a couple of days. Anyone else got the same problem? Alan (partviking)

May I suggest everyone reads and completes this survey which is now 'live'. It will help our governing body protect our right to drive and fight anti classics legislation. Link below. Thank you Alan http://fbhvc.co.uk/2011/05/24/2011-surv ... nderway-2/
