What are the dimensions of the seats, the width is critical as I have a S7.

Are the seats still up for sale?

Have you still got any sets left?

Managed to get one from AES cost £4.48, needed to modify the wiring, wing support strut and drill a couple more holes in the wing, looks good and works well.

Thanks Stuart, I will lookout for the postman early next week.

I have a S7 and the yellow indicator casing has now cracked with age. I have been searching the web and found only one potential replacement (Kit Spares) but unfortunately it's out of stock. Please see attached indicator photo, has anybody got any suggestions?

Sorry guys, just nipped out in the Hood for a quick blast, broke down and have been towed home by the RAC, with a bit better luck I will see you next time. Regards Chris

Will sweet talk the wife and should be OK to drop in for a drink and natter, before the visitors arrive for my wife's birthday party. Regards Chris

Sorry, cannot make it the family are down for the wife's birthday on that day, I will try to make it next time.

What about the Sir John Barleycorn at Cadnam SO40 2NP, I am sure it was the Southern Hoods old meeting place?

Hi Peter Good afternoon I did email you previously regarding camber shims, but I did have the wrong email address logged in with Robin Hood kit car club, I am still very interested in getting some shims for my S7, so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Regards, caf (Chris)

Thanks for the tip, but how can I contact Peter Bell?

Still not got this sorted, all the parts that came off I put back on, there were no skims and I cannot see any potential adjustments points, the only thing I noticed was that I had a spare washer after I had rebuilt each side, would the guy who originally built my S7 have packed it out with a washer to solve the camber problem?

Having had both the rear drive shaft out, now its all back together the camber angle looks about 8 to 10 degrees, I am sure it was not like that before. Is this something you need to get Kwik Fit realign or can I do it myself?

GuyGggggGuGg Guys, If you have driveshaft requirements I suggest you look at the web site www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk or call them 0121 770 5636 I spoke with Lee a few times and he was most helpful. Regards CAF.

Yes the solution came from S&R in Birmigham, not easy to fit but splitting the drive shaft is the only way to get it in. MOT now passed back on the road for a Christmas spin. Thanks guys for all the help and suggestions.

Thanks Mower Man but I got a snap off blade from Halfords for £7.99 and managed to use the existing arm.

Can somebody tell me where I can get 7.5" replacement wiper blades from?

I hope I now have a solution from J&S in Birmingham, will update as I get into over the weekend, thanks Rob.

Not a good experience at RECO, they had the drive shaft for two and half weeks, said they had sent it away to be refurbished, but only did a botched up job with my existing gaiter and wanted £80+VAT. the best option looks like J&R suggested by Rob with the oversize can, not sure how difficult it's going to be?

Thanks Rob that's a very interesting solution, the guy I spoke to at J & R said he new the problem, but could not help me and got off the phone asap! At the moment I have found a company in Luton RECO, that say they can refurbish/repair the can on my drive shaft, I will know the outcome early next week. If it not good I am sure I will be talking to J&R again. Regards Chris

Thanks, keep me posted, in the mean time I will keep looking!

Thanks, I did call them a couple of weeks ago, the Sierra drive shaft they now supply have a larger can size so they do not fit the original Sierra backend. I am going to see a workshop in Luton that specialize in this sort of thing this week, fingers crossed!

Thanks for your reply, that interesting, but I have not done any repairs like this before, how difficult is going to be, it could end up that its my only solution, would be interested to discuss it further.

Hi I did not know you could replace the metal can, it's crimped (both ends see my picture) with a big lip (which has broken off) I am sure it must be special process to seal the can to drive shaft components, but would be interested if it's possible?
