Nice doors. Yes, there should be a plastic gasket between the hinge and door, I guess to keep water out of the bulkhead. I'm afraid I don't have a part number to hand.

I ended up getting three tired seats for less than £100, although I spent quite a while scanning eBay, here and Gumtree. Lucky I did end up with three in the end as one of them was completely bent :mad:

Bump, open to offers people and I'm in a good mood (sunny bank holiday weekend! :))

I'm also 6'3, poss even 6 4 and fitting reupholstered defender seats in mine. There is F all room with the series seats so it won't be much different in terms of space. I'm also fitting a smaller steering wheel for a bit more leg room

How, just found your thread and flicked over the last couple of pages. I will be reading properly from the beginning for sure. Have you dealt with your aerial hole yet? I have precisely the same hole and been wondering what to do with it. I quite like the suggestion to leave it as 'character'. :D

Thanks Ashley. Yes, I'll take some pictures of the seatbelt install. It was easy for me as the driver & passenger had belts installed already, there is a bit of hardware required in order to mount the reel and anchorage points securely. Yeah that makes sense (jack and small bits under...

2-post lift, tyre changing machine, welding set, gas torch, you know... the usual :D

"They all do that, Sir."

Hi Ed, thanks very much for holding on to the welder for the moment, but next months looking a bit expensive all of a sudden and I don't think I'll be ready for you then either. Please do carry on trying to sell and I'll chance my arm and see if its still available when I have some surplus...

Ah ok, I'll only be able to find whatever you can on Google. Best of luck.

Does this help?

Great work, I'd love get involved with lathes etc.

I think there were a few SWB stage 1 v8's but very low numbers. I'd love one but probably worth a fortune.

Only turn the wheel when you're on the move, you should be fine! :)

I dunno what to do with these, mines the same style. I've got for an aftermarket job which is smaller as I barely fit under the original.

Spraying the whole thing the same colour runs the risk of looking a bit naff, especially if you paint the galvanized bits too.

What sort of wheel is it? A series 3 plastic job or a early series wire pronged thing? Post us a piccy :)

Yes, 11" TLS on the front so could well have been 1 1/4 on the back. From memory the one that came off might have been 1 1/2". The Delphi is marked as correct all the way through to end of series production so a bit miffed if it's wrong. I'll go for a like-for-like replacement on the other side...
