for my purple peril Colin, so what do you think

hopefully all sorted bought a complete engine with it all on

hi Guys I'm in need of the Alternator mounting bracket and adjuster arm for a 1300gt 711 block crossflow, this is the small cast one that bolts at the bottom front of the block with 2 bolts, not the big triangle thing used on the mex or the rubber mounted 2 piece one, it may well also be used on other crossflow cars other than mk1, this pic shows it in the bottom left with the 2 alternator bolts poking out, and also need the adjusting strap for the top if anyone has one up for grabs, please pm me

that's ok, they do it all the time in Plymouth and Gloucestershire

way to go, best engines are built in the living room

has she kicked you out then Colin

I actually quite like that

that said, as you are trying to re design everything, then the square ones are defo the way to go

that Lotus look is the one to go for if your gonna do it Nick

just like those naffy RS ones he bought

those alloys would be good on their side, to watch this 1300E in your garage https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Trinitron-TV-KV-1300E-13-Rare-German-model-Works-but-no-red-in-picture/323134308505?hash=item4b3c4e4099:g:2V4AAOSwqblapR4p

what does Kush call it lol didn't she try giving it to the local rag and bone man while you were out lol

leave it too long and youll have the Edam cheese look

keep the original steels, then use the money you save to go towards having the body re-sprayed

have thought of that with wider tyres but when i did have the RS on got loads of comments yeah, like from me, those alloys are shite Nick, lol

the original steels are luverly Nick

yep, that's scary so can you trace old car ownership lol

even scarier if anyone can identify where it is / was, and what it looks like now

late 70s and 80s british leyland at a guess

Today is the 45th Anniversary of the launch of the 1300E Happy Anniversary to all those 1300Es out there

Hi Stu engine bay loom is definitely not a mex one, although as Mexican Gerbil says, if your not bothered about it being correct, you can make it work, front to rear, operates back lights, reversing lights and fuel tank sender, you would need to tape them back up and put them in tha car to see if the wires still reach, they can be extended, then appropriate bullet and spade terminals fitted, the under dash one would need looking at I real time, compare what it runs as to what its supposed to and identify everything before saying if it needs anything etc

and if it was a mex engine bay loom @ £250, you should have bought it, used its worth £5-600, maybe even more, and if NOS I would hate to even think, never chop a mex loom just for connectors

is that the Yorkshire term for hair piece (wig) Colin

there are 5 basic looms on a mex, then the add on looms basic are front to rear, dash, engine bay and the 2 headlamp looms add ons are heated rear screen, hazard lights & spot lights you need to be more specific what you need Stu
