Hi, there is a chap on ebay advertising these at £200. Has anyone any experience & can push me in the right direction? We find glasses & phones etc need a home....

Thank you all. I have purchased some 1/4 & 5/16 UNF slightly extended bolts & will be fitting some small spacers (6-8mm) just to slightly lift Pauls brackets.

Hi. Could anyone please confirm if the captive nut & bolts for fixing the seat runners to the floor are BSF & What size please. They measure a dead 6mm across. Many thanks.

Purchased a lovely new set of leather seats (MX5) plus the runner conversion kit from Paul Bishop. Basically, you remove the old seats and runners etc. Using the original captive nut bolts, you fix Paul's conversion in exactly the same position, but at right angles to the originals. Struggling with the kit. The original runners are fixed into the floor, in line with the seat sides, all easy. Pauls conversion goes across instead at right angles, but unfortunately falls slightly on top of a pressed floor ridge at the rear tunnel side. Has anyone had a similar experience with this kit & how did they get over it? As it stands I would need to acquire some much longer bolts to make it work, if I have to put a spacer in to go above the floor ridge. I'm sure Paul has experienced this before & will help sort it, but in the meantime any help would be appreciated!

Thank you all. Purchased a first class Bosch Battery from Tayna including delivery for under £80.

Hi all. Can somebody please point me in the right direction for a replacement battery? Ideally someone who can deliver it? Much as I like Rimmer Bros, their supplier was a joke and ended up issuing full credits.
Would appreciate a description of ratings etc. Many thanks, Guy.

Well, well, the dropping the zipper window down pre fold in really worked. By myself, it took 6 minutes to drop the rear window & fold down the hood in place, fold in the side windows & fit the hood bag! I guess my wife and I will have to practice the Le Mans style, oh sugar its raining, get it back up routine now! Thank you to all!
-
Thank you to all for your kind help. The video I have already, but the zipping down the rear window is a real help! Only have the new MX5 seats to fit in late April & away we go!
-
I'm reasonably confident that I know how to fold the hood down, but my problem lies in tucking in the side windows in. I was led to believe that the fold in should be in the mohair between the rear and side to avoid creasing the windows? This is difficult because the Mohair & Velcro are thick. Similarly, are my poppet studs not quite in the right position, thus making the fold very difficult? I just used the old positions.

My shoulder tops are about 6 inches over the top of the original seat & the headrest is a backrest! I'm looking at replacing these with MX5 Seats. Can someone please confirm the version of Mazda seat is the removable headrest type etc & what I'm letting myself in for in terms of fitting these in? When I purchase the seats are there any floor fixings I need to make sure I get or are the new seats using the original Triumph ones? Many thanks. Guy

No problems, or noticeable issues with the Off Centre Steering Wheel in terms of parking etc to report.
-
Hi all. The easiest option, though not the cheapest was to order the 14 inch Moto-Lita MK3 Off Centre Wooden Steering Wheel, which guarantees the additional leg room clearance. Hoping to sell its predecessor to get back half the cost!

Hi Tony, Where did you buy the seals from. Thank you. Guy
-
Just to confirm that Don Trimming have done a great job, as has the fitter, on my new mohair hood and bag!
-
When I move the seat all the way back, I feel I'm still not far enough back. Has anybody else had similar issues & how did they overcome the situation?
-
Thank you to all, I shall start to look at all my options. Regards, Guy.

I currently have a 15 inch wheel fitted, which is new & looks great. Unfortunately I'm 6 foot 2 inches and have large legs. Has anyone any experience of fitting a smaller wheel, say 12-14inch?
-
Hi. I also would definitely go for Don Hoods. They have just made a Mohair Hood & Bag for my TR6. Absolutely perfect. Used a local fitter. Brilliant.
-
Hi Stuart. Sending the Rimmer Velcro's back and have ordered the Moss ones that look much better! Thanks for your kind help.

I'm looking to get bumpers, door handles & various other small items re-chromed. Grateful for any suggestions on competent and sensibly priced suppliers. I'm just north of Derby, but happy to travel for the right supplier. Many thanks, Guy.
