Yes I think your right. The hose top hose isnt red hot but it is where it enters the rad I guess these kevlar ones dont get red hot. There appears the be slight swirling in rad so I guess its all ok, took it for drive and doesnt need topping up. Have to drain some out now as I used 80% antifreeze mi...

Cheers. The top heater hose is very hot and the bottom one quite hot Ill give it a little longer but its been 40 mins now and the levels not dropped

Is that the brass circular knob at the back of the rocker ? Ive not changed that, Ive had it on half an hour now in the garage and the rads quite hot steam coming from water where you fill it up, but top hose only warm . Water in rad feels quite hot Im worried of keeping it on any longer what do you...

Thanks ok I will , Ive tried again and theres wisps of steam coming from the radiator and the rads getting hot but it cant be circulating as 3 litres shouldnt fill to brim should it ?

Hi everyone I have just removed the front grill to add some new chrome fitted a new top hose and added fresh coolant . Ive added 2.5 litre of antifreeze and a bit of water to about 3 litre and started the engine with the heater fan on and waited for it to get to temperature to top the system up to t...

This car was painted over 10 years ago

And the other thing is its non abrasive and has no nasty chemicals you wipe it on and wipe it off in an hour and it doesnt dry into a white powder that sticks into every crack. one coat looked good 4 coats looks utterly stunning and your not continually cutting back the layers like you are with an a...

When we got ours it had had a respray ten years ago but was very dull I used buffing machine and cutting compound and lots of traditional wax MER Autoglym etc I came across a yellow Carnauba wax on ebay for £21.99 called Harly wax and couldnt believe the difference the guys sold 2200 of these Ive ne...

Thanks for the advice according to ESM they came originally as flat top but as mentioned it leaves an odd void at the top and an angle at the front so I cut a piece out and spray glued it on. Looks ok from a distance

These diaphrams replace the webbing completely seems quite a good idea. It seems to look ok height wise but I have a big issue with the shape at the front my original foam had a curved lip which fitted under the front vinyl band (mine are duo tone seats) whereas the new foam is just flat meaning I h...

Thanks yes you might be right Ive put the webbing on and it looks ok, the new seat cushions seem to lack the chamfered edge that the old ones had and for the life of me I cant get the round rubber strip in the curved lip at the front - tried heat washing up liquid its just not having it !

I have just bought one of those diaphram webbing rubbers for my 1963 drivers seat. The rear of the seat appears to have been welded and I cant see how the clips from the webbing would fix as the horizontal bar appears to be lower than the other 3 sides meaning that at the back of the seat the clips ...

Im still looking for 2 rear wings for my '63 2 door particularly the drivers side thats buckled and some original static seatbelts oh and a rear valance are the rear wings any good ?

Thanks guys yes thats the one , not sure why they are more expensive than this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170363909589?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT which is a pair One seems to have 1 bolt fixing and the other has 2 , am I right in thinking the angle on the secon...

sorry will try again to upload ..[frame][/frame]

Ive removed a tatty plastic door mirror from my minor today I think it may have come off a metro or something similar, Im now left with 3 holes so I want to find a mirror that will go in its place. All I can find is ones that go on the quarter light or ones that go on the wing. Its a round one I fan...

I "restored" one many years ago but you forget where to look I guess I should get a manual, I admit my knowledge is fairly limited . The guys with experience are so handy it can sometimes save hours of head scratching

Thanks guys the spring was completely missing !

The clutch pedal on my 1963 with 1098 engine is very slow to come back up can anyone give me an indication what that may be due to any diagrams pictures etc would be useful of where to look and what to do thanks

Thanks for your help everyone it was the points on the voltage regulator in the end , at last she is running !!
