Hi David, as I'm relatively new on here, how do I access newsletters?

Hi guys, thank you for your prompt responses. I apologise for not responding sooner, but life got in the way! I have overcome my immediate problem with the heating controls vacuum tank; I found a length of suitable width metal strip, fabricated a new "leg" assembly, and pop riveted it to t...

Hi folks, English " lockdown" means I'm getting on with a few jobs on my 1965 3.8 auto S type. During a delay in getting my Brake servo shield repaired, I'm looking at other problem areas, and I would appreciate some assistance with obtaining replacements for hard to get components. 1) The...

I was a bit peeved to subsequently find I had to make alterations to the Stone guards, bu...

Glyn,

Once again, thank you for the information.

Hi Glyn, Thank you for your prompt reply, and especially the photo. Judging by your photo, ( wow, how many of our cars are still that immaculate) my hoses were roughly in the correct position, but trapped by the lower edge of the shield. 575751ED-9547-438C-9155-76925F7E1E14.jpeg This is my servo shi...
