Re: Handle coating

Born Built Beauties organised a remanufactured part for doorhandle seals years ago and they are a very good quality item and fit, link below:

Re: 2022......2021 300 Goals ?

Hopefully Jon, that does sound as positive as it could! https://www.saunders-motorworks.co.uk/ They are very old school, which in my mind for this sort of thing is exactly what you need. They've done a few jobs for me over the years and have always been really good, and always listen to the problem ...

Re: It all went HORRIBLY renix !

It will be interesting to compare the insides to the Type D Mac posted years ago (hopefully that links to Mac's great post on the subject if you click the tiny arrow next to "mac wrote") Under the resin it will look something like this (this shows a type D unit and Volvo 300's use type F but will be...

Re: 2022......2021 300 Goals ?

Fingers crossed for tomorrow Jon. Your propshaft idea sounds promising, if you need somewhere to trust with balancing I can think of one place. It's about 10 miles from your old job, so might be a bit out of your way though. I've had flywheels done by them before, it would need a discussion if they ...

Re: 2021 300 Goals ?

Current theory is take out the suspension fitted by the previous owner, rebuild it, back in. Fingers crossed I'll get my workshop finished and be able to move onto some of the larger ideas I have. Well, that didn't go well :lol: Tbf, the workshop is nearly finished.. I've not updated my thread much...

Re: One left in the world ;-?

Those top mounts are gold dust! My last set got fitted to Fake and it's only done... 5 or so thousand on them. And then sat with all the weight on them for 10 years or so!

Re: Fake - F7R Motorsport Daily

Boot seal... I made some progress. I wasn't convinced on some of the ones I'd seen as being suitable as the cross section just looked wrong. I managed to find a company who posted their trim cross sections on line AND were prepared to send samples (Martrim: https://www.martrim.co.uk/car-trimming-sup...

It's what I ended up doing. Much easier to get on top of things when it's the main car. Given main currently is which one does the weekly shopping collection :lol:

Re: WTB - 343 Instrument / Dash Panel

Hi Digger, I'm aware the direction of this thread is odd, given how you've asked for a cluster. It's worth a bit of background, that exact style of dash unit is/ was used in a couple of star wars films as a prop. The units are daftly rare, they were in the cars for around 2 years. There are very few...

Re: Fake - F7R Motorsport Daily

Update on the carb. Driving was absolutely lovely for a good while, then I was starting to have a sticky second venturi. Added to that, the choke started to feel like it was running through sandpaper. I had a look at it, rang Mac to talk through the problem and between us we had an enjoyable near ho...

Re: 2021 300 Goals ?

Given this time last year I was thinking I'd likely sell my new shell as I'd bought it, it'd sat on my drive and I'd not had the drive to do anything with it, I'm not sure my beginning of year thinking is worth much :lol: Having the 300 has been one of the better things to go to over the last 12 mon...
