  1. Hi

     

    I'm about to send off my rear light units to a specialist for rechroming.

    Do I have to uncrimp the metal bulb holders before I send them off?

    I've looked in the Rimmers and Moss catalogues, but can't find replacement holders should they prove difficult to remove intact.

    Does anybody know where I could get replacement bulb holders?

     

    Thanks

    When I had a set restored a couple of years ago it was cheaper to have new badges made than restored.

     

    Maybe about £80 compared to £120.

     

    I can't remember the actual thickness, but say if original badges are ~9mm thick new ones were about 5mm.

  3. Pamela David Enamels can do new badges, but they cannot replicate the thickness of an original badge so maybe not for the purists. They do, however, restore original badges not matter how bent or rusted with stunning results.

    Expect to pay £120+ per badge and a long wait.

  4. I've been asked by a friend of mine to see if I can find the whereabouts of a yellow TR6

    Reg EOH 508L

    He used to own it 30 odd years ago and would love to get it back.

    It's not been taxed since 1987, but it must be out there somewhere.

    Last known location was Porthmadog in North Wales.

    Thanks

  5. Under the rubber boot protecting the sliding joint there is a threaded cover holding the two shafts together. This will need unscrewing first and then the shafts will split.

     

    This is on early drive shafts from what I can remember.
