On that photo it's hanging loose and out of place due to me trying to cure the rust underneath it.

The red line added to this photo is the position of the steering column: If you want I can get another picture in the footwell next time I'm out in the garage with the pedals AND the steering column in?

Yes, that's correct.

Spitfire 1500 1978 pedal arrangement:

Whilst I agree with @Nick Jones and @McJim in regard to the hypocrisy, ignorance and inaction of others I don't think we should see that as a reason for us and the club not to do the right thing (and be seen to be doing the right thing) A questionable offsetting scheme is better than nothing, a credible offsetting scheme even better. And beyond the moral dimension to this, it's another potential barrier to attracting younger people to our hobby addressed/removed.

I'll pop out to the garage later and see if I can get a photo from the Spitfire.

Hmmm I've been cautious of the UJ type. I bought one of the rebuildable couplings from Spitfire Graveyard (FAM1718, but the ones with the wired bolts rather than the peened over type) plus poly bushes from Chris Witor and have been very happy with the results - it's been on for just over 4 years so far without issues.

Welcome, cracking looking 1300!

This one for example: eBay

What a fantastic outcome to all your hard work! Nice one and welcome to Club Triumph!

Is it me, or does the VIN on this advert suggest it's a V8'd TR7, not a TR8? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284462740520?hash=item423b4cf428:g:JQEAAOSw835hTJdr (5th letter should be V not J?)

Anyone know if it's the same as a MK1 Civic? There's a reconditioned one on eBay at the moment.

I favor Falken Ecorun on my Spitfire, but the speed you want has a version but it's not exactly the same as the ones I have. I have the H rated Sincera, you'd want the V rated Ziex (https://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/falken/ziex-ze310-ecorun/185/55/R15/V/86/m?tyre=37622718) I'm very happy with the Sincera.

Awesome! Well done!

Hi Nuala, I've had no luck trying to draw bushes out of the diffs, I've tackled them with hole cutters and a hammer and chisel. https://yorkshire-spitfire.blogspot.com/2014/10/diff-time.html

I tried both email addresses I had for Flexo as I was trying to palm my spare bw35 off on him and heard he was after one... no response so presumably I have the wrong email address?!

I guess that makes me mega-lucky! Tyres: Only four per visit. Calderdale Tip Rules

Interesting, 185/70r14 SN832A still listed on BlackCircles, wonder if it's just remaining stock?

DIY tool will definitely need bolting down, in my (limited) experience the smaller the rims the harder they are to get on/off. £20?!?! Somebody is taking the Michael IMHO. I know they have to pay a disposal fee on the old tyres, but it seems excessive.

I'd go for Falken Sincera SN832A Ecorun a great all-round tyre with excellent wet grip.

Anyone else watched series 3 of Brassic? Or is it a bit "low brow" ? The Herald featured in Series 3 episode 4 is a star, but there's a few other Triumphs in the background at the car show! Bloody Sky app on my laptop won't let me take a screenshot and I can't find any pics online... Showing plate XHM201

I looked into owning a car in the US for a road trip, but unlike Billy's situation of owning and insuring a UK car the reverse seemed really expensive and complicated. The only cost effective way to do it would have been to get a friend in the US to buy it and insure it and "lend" it to me for the trip. As to shipping to the USA... not sure how much a European car would be required to be modified to be used in the US. Shipping each way... my guess about £1.5K - £2K for container shipping?

If true that's a bit of a kick in the teeth for people interested in the 10CR but not on the RBRR.

My guess would be a propshaft UJ

Haven't got around to fitting it yet, @aknight123456 but I went for Fusion MS-BT100 receiver and a "standard" Sony 2 channel amp. I'll report back once it's fitted and working but I'm deep in respray / bodywork at the moment.
