Too wide. You know how you get 2 different sizes of plugs in diameter. Is it 14 and 21? Well mine are the smaller of the 2. Norrie

The head has got a raised part but no 8. The spark plugs I got for the hp engine are too large a thread. Norrie.

Oh and I found out that there shimmed but the shims are £18 each so will be making my own. lol. The new strikers are only £3 each. Norrie

Lift up handles. Norrie

Good progress and good news about the engine but you want to get the chassis sorted first imho. I would strip the rest of it down first and then go from there before starting anything else. You might be able to pick up a rolling chassis. I've seen a few for sale lately. Norrie .

Ok I am having trouble identifying what spark plug my Series 3 2.25 petrol should have. It has NGK bp5efs in there at the moment. I bought a set of spark plugs from Paddocks Champion but they don't fit. I think it's a high compression engine as the engine no starts with 901 but not sure. I...

Evo stick. Stickier than a sticky thing. Get it in the wrong place though and that's it there forever. Norrie.

Ok so my Series 3 had Defender doors when I bought it and I have reverted to Series 3 doors. I see that the strikers are completely different. Do I just need the new striker plates or will I need anything else? Also are they normally shimmed or just bolt straight on? Thanks. Norrie .

Yeah I think your correct although I do like some of the other replies. Thanks. Norrie.

Ok I have found another part that I don't know where it goes. Does anyone know where this goes? Norrie.

I should have really taking better pics when stripping it down but there you go. Too late now. lol.

It's ok I've sussed it. Looked back at some old pics when I stripped it and they support the roof where the strengthening bar is.

No there not exhaust clamps. I think they are off the tub or sides/roof somewhere. They were removed to be galvanized when I had all the cappings etc done. They look like they were rivited on. Norrie.

Ok can someone tell me where these go please? Thanks. Norrie.

I had a similar problem and it turned out there were to many springs on the shoes. I.e. the shoes were being pulled back so you had to pump the pedal to push the shoes into the drum.

Finished painting the tub and got it lifted back into place. I just had to rivet on some of the cappings to see what it looked like. Norrie .

Ok cool. I've got new doors to fit as well so I take it in better having them bolted on to check for alignment issues? Norrie

I never had the bulkhead out so that's not been moved. I seem to remember shims but can't remember where they came from. lol. Norrie

Ok so I'm nearly ready to refit the tub back on once I finish painting it. What advice can you give on getting it all aligned properly? Do I need to fit the doors at the same time? Thanks. Norrie .

As for filler I’ve not used any on my panels. I’ve hit all the dents out the best I can and the rest can stay. Norrie.
