Wendy Dawes Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) It look like the actual aluminium fixing track has been removed it should be pop riveted to the roof aperture, a front header rail where the roof closure mechanism locks in and 3 rails that lie below the roof level and the 4 metal feet sit in to open/close it, these should have plastic/nylon sliders which are available on eBay Edited June 9 by Wendy Dawes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveant1 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I will take the sunroof off and take some more photos with the old one i have taken off and the one that come with the car so there’s no mix up. And then try to make one from both I don’t no much about the history about the sunroof just that it has been sitting outside for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad is it? The MkII 2000/2.5 has a similar dash if you need parts like bulb holders, or I think you can unplug the dash part of the loom as a unit. There are a couple of Stag breakers if you want the whole dash loom. I should add there are two different types of loom with the change somewhere around 1973. The earlier ones have rubber block connectors, the later cars have plastic block connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosbif Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Just got back indoors after changing the oil & filter on my 13/60. No great feat I hear you say, well the temperature here is well into the 30's (°C) so just touching the car risks 1st degree burns. The real achievement is the fact that it is the first physical job around the house & garden I've done since Wednesday as my back went 'ping' - nothing new as I've had the problem for 20 years now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Dawes Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Darren’s dolomite - Marmite suffered a split in the bulkhead resulting in the accelerator pedal moving freely so he made a new support from my spare herald ashtray bracket and bolted it to the bulkhead to brace across the split. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glang Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Do you notice any difference in engine smoothness with the new damper? Also if you get any exhaust popping on overrun you might consider advancing the timing more as recommended in various places... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed nothing since the M.U is sent for renewal and the distributor/M.U shaft has wear too and will be done. Thanks for your comment.

JohnD Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Engine smoothness is a factor of dynamic balancing of the crank, flywheel and all the reciprocating parts. The damper pulley is there to reduce torsion vibration, induced in the crank by each ignition stroke impilse If the frequency of those impulses coincides with a harmonic frequency of the crank, then resonance can cause excess stress and damage. The harmonics of a short crank are too high for the normal rev range to reach resonance, but in the longer six crank it can. Think of the low note of a long organ plpe! The damper is to protect the crank from damage. It has no effect on smooth running! John Edited 13 hours ago by JohnD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
