Re: LH top trunnions
I got a LH upper trunnion kit here, about a month ago. I was dubious about going via ebay but nobody else had them then , and it seems things haven't changed. The place is called Parts in Motion or PIM if the ebay link doesn't work or they're no longer marketing that part. As far as I can tell it's ...

Re: Steering wheel, and B post seat belt anchorage. Safety improvement without destroying character? Ideas appreciated.
Thanks Sleeper (John), that at least explains the anchor points in my "62 are there, though not why they seem a bit substandard, and the upper one too low. I've had a better look at my reel (bottom) attachment, and it seems to have a reasonably solid anchor for the very end of the belt, while t...

Re: Steering wheel, and B post seat belt anchorage. Safety improvement without destroying character? Ideas appreciated.
I just went and checked my front belt anchor points in between 70mph gusts and swimming pool volumes of water dumps on a typical Scottie winter morning. To my bemusement my belt reel is attached to the inside surface of the sill, rather than the floor, and when I jiggle it a bit, the entire organisa...

Re: Steering wheel, and B post seat belt anchorage. Safety improvement without destroying character? Ideas appreciated.
Reading all the above comments I've realised that one of my first jobs when the rain decides to stop up here in Haggisland is to finish my porrridge as early as I can after the sun gets up (joke. The sun doesn't get up till after lunch and goes down at afternoon tea time. And that only every second ...

Re: Steering wheel, and B post seat belt anchorage. Safety improvement without destroying character? Ideas appreciated.
Thanks Monty-4 and Phil, I'm glad to hear that you upgraded the mounting plates Phil, as the ones illustrated were frightening. I'm also interested in your new projected mounting system, and will be checking it out via google, but when you get a chance, would you put up some pix on here to educate u...

Re: Steering wheel, and B post seat belt anchorage. Safety improvement without destroying character? Ideas appreciated.
Thanks Philthehill, You've got me thinking again. I'd hit a dead end re ideas. The harness arrangement you came up with for your car and your link to the Delany Gallay seat belt images gave me some new ideas that had never occurred to me, so I'll certainly do a rethink about options. I do think the ...

Just found and joined your blog page Chris. Well done, and well worth a read for anyone new to, or rusty about basic Minor maintenance.

Re: 1958 charging problem
Hi. First post on this forum, but have been lurking for weeks. I got a very original (though a bit tatty) 62 4 door a couple of weeks back and immediately had what sounds like a similar problem. Battery seemed to be getting 13.6V charge at fast idle according to my voltmeter, but was flat the mornin...
