[Lower t shirt panel]

Hi Chris ,

sounds like a better alternative, I assume that you didn't need to put reinforcing

pressings on your panel due to thicker steel?

[Lower t shirt panel]

Hi Chris,

Did you make a pattern panel for this yourself?

 

 

 

 

[Lower t shirt panel]

Hi all , 

My chassis lower t shirt - breastplate panel is out of shape and has some rust evident and I want to replace with new.

Do I have to brace surrounding chassis members before I cut out? Or can I just cut out and replace.?

Regards Rob

The trailing arm front brackets seem to be part of the steering rack fixing bracket .

this is where the confusion is ,the rear trailing arm brackets have a strengther at the rear of them and look like a factory installation.

Cheers Bob will give that a go ????

[Plenum chamber]

I'm removing and refurbishing as I go , so I've removed all of the dash , left the wooden one till later on in resto , but have derusted and painted metal dash , removed vents from these and repainted etc, clutch and brake assembly refurbed , but roger makes an interesting point I have s new dash top to be fitted and was looking and think window frame has to come out to do this? if so I may remove top of chamber panel as suggested , also was considering removing vent flap on outside of bulkhead but don't have any directions in any of my manuals as how to do this .

Thanks for all advice Rob ????

[Tr4a rear lamp housings]

Hi all,

Can anyone advise me regarding fitting new lamp housings.According to Roger Willams restoration manual they should be fitted inside the inner wing. My cars ones were fitted outside and I believe that was original from the factory. Can anyone advise .The reason I need to know is that I'm trying to new rear inner wing rear deck and the two panels at the front and rear of the rear deck and want everything to line up with new outer wing when offered up.Do all these parts "hook " over inner wing or are they fitted to the inner lip...? Any advice welcome and maybe photos of this area.

Cheers Rob

Thanks Stuart,

All the best ,Rob

[New door skin]

Hi all,

Have just removed old door skin and am proceeding to clean up frame,prime ,paint etc.

Small problem I have is there are still remnants of the old skin at both end of the frame at the top which create the width for the glass channel.The question is do I grind these off and if I do I'm not sure how to replicate as the new skin doesn't have these on .

Advise please .

Cheers Rob
