-------------23C here today and 16 now at midnight--been rebuilding my trailer, what a job/mess, thought all it needed was new floor boards but the frame had rusted out--bloody salt air. Anyway heaps of new steel and a new alloy checkerplate deck--mudguards tomorrow and we're back in business------i'm over it, what i thought was going to be a day's work has cost me a week already

Mmmm--I think I'd be going something a bit stronger than P clips, specially if they're going to be mounted on that side of the rail---On the other side(pulling) they might be ok but I'm a bit worried that with 45psi or so fuel pressure, the P clip could give in to the pressure---It's only got to move not much and the fuel will spray out like a garden sprinkler from the top O ring and up she goes--...

I'm struggling to get out into the garage, below 5 degC it's too cold to pick up tools!

Not really as I still have to go to work. ;)
But the midget stays indoor as the Evil-roadsalt is already on our roads... :(

Thanks, guys. It's got me puzzled. There was no such drop in coolant before I did the heater plumbing a few months ago. There is no sign of any leakage under the car. No mayonnaise signs. I'll try cracking the crankcase plug later today to if any water shows up. I topped up a couple days ago and it has dropped a couple of inches since then without having started the engine.
Thanks, again.

Thank you for checking the set-up. Good idea to fit the jacks from below.

If you care to roll under the car again, please take some pictures. If possible to show the area of the inner wing :o)

thanks

I've noticed a tail off in BBS posts recently. Is the cold weather keeping us all in doors?

Hi there,
Gosh, you should not scare me like that.
The front jacks for my YT are happily sitting in a box on the shelf, hoping one day to be re-united with the rest of the vehicle. (The body work is all finished, and the seats are away at the upholsterers. Still need to wire the dash.)
hence my concern.
So I rolled under the car, itself a significant effort for me, with one jack. A...

The screen frame bolts go through over-sized holes in the body so there is quite a lot of scope for sliding the whole screen back and fore and tilting it, when all four are slack and the centre bar is loose. Marks in the paint with the original seal should give you the fore and aft position. The quarter-light should barely touch the seal on the screen frame uprights, not compress it, or you can ...

My enquiries to the companies that Roger suggested didn't turn up any useful information and the person selling the nicely restored hardtop on ebay is a used car dealer who separated it from a car he sold.

The pictures in the advertisement show an arrangement of seals that might work but they are not like originals. I have been sent pictures of two original tops but it is difficult to de...
