Re: gingofthesouth's Orangatang 510

NPTF threads are meant to seal without any sealant What I thought, but a wee check online and people use sealant on it for the same reason. your wiring is a bit scary too in light of that fuel leak! Agreed. I'll move to some body clips some time soon. Leak is all sorted since the sealant has been on.

Re: gingofthesouth's Orangatang 510

I was trying to get Lewis to sort me out some door panels but he is too busy.

I'm thinking I will get them covered the same as the ones they are replacing but without the foam. Then when the car is all running and everything is sorted long term I can sort out redoing the whole interior.
