Great stuff , pleased you have got sorted . Mike

Nice on Al , as it all helps to fund more goodies . Mike

If you find it , it could well pay for your rising fuel bills and add another string to your bow for the future . I knew where there was one a few years back in Louth , but lost contact with the person an Austin Seven restorer who i bought a house off , garage's full of those Austin goodies . Mike

Cud unt mak ed noor tayl o it !! It's a good laugh though Mike

Hi Kev , Try contacting them direct http://www.spaxperformance.com/selector_html.php Mike

I wonder are they re-tooling at the moment due to the dies or press worn out . There was a nice deep throated press on ebay ideal for doing louvers. This is what we want http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134701 The DIY method for alluminium , http://www.madaboutmorgans.com/Handmade_Louvers.html Mike

Pray for devine intervention !! maybe Mike

A thread profile spring that is used to repair damaged threads by tapping out oversize and then inserting Helicoil to bring the tread back to nornal size . Mike

If you have any classic car restorers near you , you may well be lucky enough to find one with a fly press louver die , but they are getting rather scarce these days . Mike

I wonder if this was the same person who was featured on Tomorows World many moons ago , with a quote that this engine would run on anything from Peanut bitter to water by adding a tablet of some stuff he had invented ? All referances to this engine seem to have disapeared , funny that ! gone the same way as the everlasting light bulb and the never laddering stocking . Mike

What ever happened to All this talk of Global Warming , Has Gordon Brown /Darling put a stop to that too !! As not taxable enough therefore not a good thing . Mike

Its All Good when a plan comes together , so next stop SVA and then the big grins start eh Best Of Luck with the SVA . Mike

She's looking good Paul , Just in time for the Summer Smiles too . Mike

This is the guy who started it recently i think Mike

Mini wipers here plus heater standard mini one , there is a magic measurement for fitting the hood , measurement X from top of screen to the rear of the car which eludes for the moment but someone will come up with it nodoubt . Check here Graham for your Model ID http://nw.rhocar.org/identification.htm Mike

Just my thoughts too as it could be a good asset for the club , just need a storage facility and a big truck , i might well know of someone with a big truck . Mike

Hi & Welcome Graham , Anyone's welcome to try to pick my brains but never ever try to pick my pockets !! (as they are always empty ) Mike

OMG indeed , if i had the room i could go into business with that lot . Mike

Gbs do the stainless hinges , Stainless press studs can be found on ebay . Tenax are very good to use on the side screen internal closing strap , self tappers on the screen frame but watch out when drilling . Self tappers can be used on the body as can poprivets or Stainless M3 button head screws that i used in the end . Mike

Its good to tell the sun is out as everyone is learning to smile and for some an ear to ear grins too , Congrats and now to enjoy driving this summer. Mike
