Re: Speedo

The little clip that holds the cable in the end cap may be deformed or missing allowing the cable to move further in. Happened the other week on my sisters car, the clip was deformed making it to wide to hold the cable properly.

Re: Fibreglass Front Wings

Yeah, isn't he producing the mk2 ones?

Is there any difference in shape between the mk2 and mk3 ones apart from the side repeater in the mk2's? If not then that's not a problem as the hole could be filled or you could always put in some repeaters if that's what you like.

Fibreglass Front Wings

Just wondering if anyone got around to making fibreglass front wings for the mk3 and producing them on request?

I know there has been talk about fibreglass wings but mainly for the mk2 but not heard much of mk3 ones being made. Is anyone producing them and if so what price?

O-Ring Exhaust Hangers

Hi all, Does anyone know what the internal diameters are of the mid and rear exhaust hangers for the 1.4, and know if there are any decent ones out there that will last? The ones I've been getting tend to dry up and crack to quickly, only last about 12 months if lucky, or is that about the norm for ...

Re: 1400cc Piston Sequence ??

Is it conventional or electronic (breakerless) ignition system? If conventional then mac and the drawing are correct but if it's breakerless type (that's what mine is so went by that, sorry forgot about the conventional being different :oops: ) then number 1 is nearest the fan. Make sure which ignit...
