Re: Side repeaters

Wing mounted indicators are obviously legal

I was just saying if he didn't want the wing mounted indicators

Using the US running lights would ensure that there would still be an indicator visible from the side of the car

Re: Side repeaters

If you want to be 100% legal, get rid of the ones in the wings and fit US spec rub strips with the indicators hooked up to the running lights

Windscreen bead width

Hey chaps,

What's the width of the beading used in the front and rear screens?

I've found a guy that can supply 11mm or 14mm and was hoping it was one of these

Cheers in advance

Diff came back with new seals, no damage or anything untoward was found on the internal inspection. Which was a relief. With it on a work bench I got the pollyflex bush shoehorned in. Which at first seemed impossible, until I realised the metal sleeve left by the OE bush was still stuck in the way.....

Re: Inlet fanifold, injectors and rocker cover .

Probably the inlet manifold gasket too

Might as well change the rocker cover breather pipe too. It's only about 15 quid and is usually blocked up with immulsified oil and crap. It runs from the rocker to the throttle body if memor serves correctly

Why don't you get adjustable coilover so that you can run the car at the height you want then buzz it up to 100mm for your inspection
