Thank you Guys

I'm planning to install Camber and Caster plates on the rear axle. There seems to be two variants as pictured below, any experience/preference of which is best would be appreciated.

Are there any LHD Euro cars here with original seats? I think the car in question is from Holland.

I do think the stitched version looks more original?o_O

That's great thank you Paul.

Hi I have a query regarding original Euro LHD leather seats, was the side bolster of the on the upper part of the seat a plain stitched seam or piped? OR

I’d be interested on clarification on this, my diff housing also has the small s stamped in the same place! Diff is on car so not able to look inside.

Eventually got round to installing an Electric fan. I managed to get a Spal 16” Blower fan new old stock at a bargain price off Ebay. I didn’t want create any addition holes in the body work and don’t like the idea of mounting directly to the radiator, so I designed some brackets and clamps...

Thank you for the advice, I have a newer style multi hole thermostat housing for sender. No AC to worry about. Shanon, Is your fan fitted to the front side of the rad rather than the engine side and if so are you pulling the air out of the engine bay or pushing in? Always in search of a few...

I fitted my 265 5 speed with the 35mm M5 Guibo, so shorted the drive shaft by 85mm. No issues fits well no vibration.

Wow...

Eventually got round to fitting the 2002 C tubes, I only had to adjust #3 by removing a small part of the ribbed area, as it was fouling on the cold start air valve bracket. First picture with rear 3 installed. Looking forward to testing and seeing any changes in torque.

@Mrum I have an old unit but it would need to be re-silvered, but probably not economically viable! I'll send some pictures later. Adam

Happy with £100 + shipping for slave and circlip. I fully understand import duties may make it uneconomic, no rush if you want to try other avenues first. Adam

Hi Barry, I have a spare new clutch slave cylinder, I bought it a few years back to replace mine but ended up going 5 speed, so no longer required. Also have a new retaining circlip.
