Hi Nick, great work. What are you plans for paint and are you still planning to take it to LeMans Classic in July? Regards, Andy

Hi Brett, you need to read the DIN number (can't really make it out clearly) of the pipe and then compare it to the requirements. However, it looks like the right stuff Regards Andy

Hi Ryan, I presume you're referring to the parts depictions drawings for the original vehicle, however I’ve not seen these listed<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p> These are just some simple deflector plates up to fit below and original Zephyr...

Hi all, I’ve recently was put onto this restoration & motoring blog, which covers mainly the restoration of a Lotus Esprit, a Range Rover and a camper van. However what makes the difference and worth spreading the word is the level of editing and commentary, including interviews with interesting...

Hi Mitch, Attached is the final wiring I use on my A/c system. It took a long time to resolve, mainly trying to understand how to wire in the trinary switch<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I agree with previous posters that the...

Hi Brett, Presuming you mean the screen vent, it’s a coincidence that I’ve currently got my dash out for a few minor mods. I glassed in a tube to accept a flexi tube from the heater unit, however to make the system work, the exit from the vent needs guide plates to keep up the air velocity – see...

Hi Ant, See attached pic of what I used from RCR and is also available from Mustalgia.com. Note this is supplied with the locking cap and only needs a simple tether to the cap adding to make it IVA compliant.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>...

Hi Eddy, if you want a conventional shift pattern, with the rear linkage as previously shown, you'll need a front shift lever as follows. This is what I built for mine Regards, Andy

Hi Eddy, your assumptions are correct. The attached pic is an easier way to explain where the gears are. Regards, Andy

Hi Eddy, It will have reverse shift pattern with the hardware as shown, I.e.pull back lever for 1st Regards, Andy

Gents, This is the way I was taught to get a rapid cooling to give the correct crystalline structure. Oil and forced air cooling also work. Hydrogen embrittlement may be introduced, but on the low stress levels in a A/R bar, it would not be an issue and is more associated with plating processes...

Hi Pat, Assuming you already have a decent grade of spring steel, it can be bent hot, but will need to be re-tempered afterwards, which is along the lines of: - Heat to cherry red and bend as desired - Reheat to cherry red and quench in water (re-harderns the material) - Heat to straw colour...

Hi Don, try swopping over the wires on the crank sensor, as they are polarity sensitive. This resolved the issue I had when I was building up my system Regards, Andy

You don't need door locks, just fit a remote central locking kit, even easier and more readily available. Regards, Andy

Hi JP, Front & rear Clip latches can be sourced from RS Components under part number 687-174 RS Components | Electronic and Electrical Components As you have a GT Forte body, you can buy the matching handles direct from them Door Handles Or if you have the facilities or capability you can make...

Great news John. Looking for ward to see it on the road Regards, Andy

Hi John, This result is really annoying, but fortunately not your problem to resolve. Any decent tester would have allowed you (in this case Andy Sheldon) to add the additional cable ties on the day Regarding the rear screen, it has to have the correct E-mark, glass or plastic and the tester...

Hi Steve, I can recommend you a good garage in Norfolk for Mot's. Mine is deemed to low to go on the brake rollers and so is taken for a good drive!! up the road with the electronic Tapley meter on the floor. Any excuse to drive it Regards Andy

Hi John, Congratulations on a ‘good’ fail I’m a bit surprised about the comment on the side repeaters being too high. The regs state a min height of 350mm and a max ht of 1500mm, so it’s difficult to understand what the issue is Anyway keep up the good work, you’re nearly there Regards Andy

Hi Antony So have I got an email from 9 years ago, I don't keep many from last week! I may have got a hard copy amongst my original build info. I'll see what I can find in the next few days Regards Andy
