i do

ive just replaced some that i cut about 15years ago where's that gone! we cut them done to size then just heated a very small area to twist back down flat, to sit in the cup. it has never been any trouble or gone wrong.

spax do last a long time, just replaced mine from about 1990

there is a really good bloke who works from home in bournemouth, any good for you?he does stuff for a chap this way who is a right fussy sod .cheap as well

spread the spring eye with a cold chisel,screwdriver after removing all the old bush

raise the front just a nat's

as above, been using it since 1992 as told to do so by roland hayes, only just rebuilt the engine

kin hard and fierce to use

if its done that many miles all the rubber seals will be hardend and then leak .sump gaskets shrink, then leak. you could just buy new crankshaft , cam and auxiliary seals ,then fit them all, see what happens?also rocker cover gasket.

what about the maize yellow with a pinstripe,thats a nice period colour. why put rs stripes on it when its not an rs? (just my thought)

get rally design's own brake pad's, max torque, they work really well. got the same on my mk1, 8"drums on back with princess 4 pots on front with 257 disc's.with bias box. pad feel is good, no servo.

i think the thicker type ring's are the older type hepolite type piston's.had trouble finding them for mine last year.the thinner ones are the newer type(i think)

i made mine,easy to do, used 3/4 steel gas tube, free from work .weld a 12mm nut on the end. . cheap male rose joint about £14.00 from local bearing place, used a 12mm bolt to bolt to axle. flat plate to make bracket to weld to axle. inner track control arm bush for chassis end. i think about 2"box section welded from chassis rail with a cut out for the bar to go in.then braced it all up to under side of floor pan, copy it from a pic and make in position. sounds tight ,but i am also need 2 spacers to go either side of rose joint to allow it to twist. didnt go through floor.

good pics, i was the rs same colour as yours, said it was a sh@t colour as you left!!!

dont bother with a servo now ,it should be good without
