Help with pinto bits! First time owner, Led headlights, air filter etc!

[rread97]

Hi all! 
 

just picked up my first Robin! Few bits need some tlc, can anyone recommend me some black led headlights? 
 

also what air filter & housing can I fit on the standard 2.0 pinto engine? 
 

Any good sites to look for bits like rocker gaskets, exhaust mani gaskets, oil filter etc? 
 

any help is much appreciated!

Assuming that a standard webber DGAV carb fitted then this is what is fitted to mine.

Oil filter is just a standard 1983 Sierra 2l fitment available at any motor factors.

Pintos like 20W50 oil, modern light oils do not always work.

Gaskets go to motor factor or ebay.

Thanks for the response! I’ve spotted that the steering column is touching the alternator, is there a fix for this?

I fitted a belt one size down. It is a very tight fit. I unbolted the pulley from the water pump to fit the belt then bolted the pulley back.

Another question! Looking for some comfier seats! Any ideas what seats will bolt straight in? Like the idea of ep3 seats but not sure they’ll accommodate the 3 point harness

Sorry I am unable to help with seats, mine are home made for me only.

Seats depend a bit on which robin hood you have.

Looking at the pictures it is a series 3 or 3A with the kit from about about 1997/8.
