So been chipping away at these for a while, firstly templates of a set of original wings, then a set of moulds taken in the female off the templates, then a set of final wings taken off them. I do, however, now that I have templates and moulds, habe the ability to make multiple sets.

Hi gang, As no doubt those that have worked on bw35s before will know, '35s come in different sub models. My question for the collective is... Is a 7FU box interchangeable with a 303 valve body? I've two boxes out. The 303s bands are done. But the 7FU, although freshly built has an incorrect...

Hello fellow Roverites, The ignition barrel on my Series 1 V8, died a death on Sunday afternoon. Despite my best efforts with Araldite and JB weld, it seems past the point of no return. Does anyone here have a replacement ignition barrel, Lucas part 39222a or equivalent, fitted to P5s and P6s...

As per the headline, I'm after a full set of fibre glass wings. No condition is too rough, money waiting. Preferably be willing to post out... Thanks Fraser

Afternoon All, Can anyone tell me the size of the socket required to adjust the front and rear bands on bw35? I need to adjust both bands via the square nut-like adjuster, however, I've no idea of the size of socket required. thanks

Does anyone have the internal and external diameters of the planetary gear shims that help adjust diff lash in the very heart of a P6B diff? My diff has some serious lash in it after 113,000 miles (181,000 kms) and its starting to become a bit of a chore to drive. I had the diff apart last night...

As the subject title might suggest, I've no horn or wipers at current. I've not yet had time to look at it yet, however, I do still have windscreen washers. All the fuses in the fuse box (All four of then) seem fine, are there fuses elsewhere in the wiring loom or am I missing something? Is...

I've a blue 71 V8 that is a CKD, my understanding is that it is a UK manufactured but New Zealand assembled car. I'm looking to send it back home to the UK as its totally rust free and is in outstanding condition. In order for it to be registered back home, I believe it needs a build date or...

I have just had my front calipers back from being acid washed to get some seized pistons outs. On their return, I've noticed there is a a recessed drilling on one of the calipers sides, where the two halves mate together. Should there be rubber seals in this recess or are they simply joined...

I'm looking to fit my recently acquired Rev Counter to my 1970 V8. I ask, before I take all the dash apart, is there any existing wiring for this tacho present on the car, say behind the strip speedo or does the wiring need to be made up? If the wiring needs to be made up, does anyone know what...

I've currently pulled out a manually adjusted inhibitor switch and was looking to replace it with a automatically adjusting inhibitor off a spare box, known to work. I'm at a bit of a loss on how to set up the automatic style inhibitor, I assume there is some degree of fettling to get the...

Hi All, Looking for the chrome bezel that fits in place when the spare wheel is removed from the boot mount kit. I'm happy to purchase with or without badge. Happy to pay, reflective of condition and located in Melbourne Australia. Many thanks

I'm currently in the market for the electrical workings that mount to the wooden dash trim for an early style icelert. I currently have a respectable dimmer switch, however, I lack a decent test button and bulb. I'm looking to keep this car as authentic as possible so ideally the original, or...

As the title would suggest, currently have the pod, the clock is easy to come by but lacking the correct V8 rev counter for my Series 1 3500. Price isn't too significant as long as it is reflective of the quality of the item being sold. Located in Melbourne Australia, though have family back...

Are there any tips or tricks to removing a handbrake lever that has seized into the caliper? if not so is there a way of removing the spring loaded plug Without removing then lever arm? So far all I can figure is that the discs will need to come off and Ill need to gp at them from the side...

Hi All, I've started to end up with a bit too many p6 parts, holding them with the view that they'll be useful one day. I've got a pair NADA water pumps in good second hand condition (think they've possibly been rebuilt at some point). The viscous unit appear good and the propellers aren't...

I'm currently fitting a 3.9 serpentine into my p6 mates to an lt77. I'm trying to figure out the wiring in the existing loom and how to modify it to fit the serpentine alternator, which is a magnetti. The magnetti terminals are B+ (to battery) D+ (to warning lamp) and W (to tacho, if...

Finally gathered all the bits to get an LT77 conversion set. I'm missing a manual pedal box to finish the lot off. Can anyone here help out? I'm happy to pay whatever the going rate is for one, plus postage cost to Melbourne Australia. Any help appreciate, photos of the project to follow...

I've recently just purchased a pair of rear wheel bearing kits for my 3500. A largely ambiguous ebay listing has resulted in me purchasing bearing and seas without collapsible spacers. In an attempt to source something domestically, I'm looking to find the stats and specs of the collapsible...

Having recently had my 1971 3500 V8 pass a Roadworthy, I've been taking it out to drive, fairly regularly. Having driven it for about a week now, I've noticed a clunk, particularly under breaking and traveling over bumps or dips and I've traced this to excessive play in the Bottom Link Strut...

A 1971 3500 V8 should usually have the engine number stamped on the left hand side of the block base. Mine hasn't a lug there with a number. It doesn't, in fact, have a lug where a number should be. Is it stamped elsewhere depending on the year? I need the engine number to pass roadworthy...

The needle valve, inside the float chamber of my HIF6 is sticking. This is causing the mixture to lean off and causes the usual manner if problems associated with too lean a mixture. I've bought an overhaul kit and replaced the needle seat and needle valve, yet the new set up seems to stick...

It's been a while in the restoring, however, my 1971 3500 is nearly ready to be put through a roadworthy. One of the nagging issues I've struggled to finish off is the lack of any action on some of the dash warning lights. I've played around with certain parts of the wiring within the car, with...

In usable condition, leather or vinyl. I'm in Melbourne Australia. I do have a UK address they can be posted out to though and then forwarded on from there. Paypal based cash waiting.

Sooooo I moved over to Australia about a year and a half ago mainly for a women (BADDDD call) and work (GOOD call). While my 2000tc sits back in Scotland, with the view of being shipped over later this year (largely for the NADA air con and electric windows etc) I've managed to pass my time...
