Re: Wanted - 4.5 x 13 RWD Sunny Steel Rim

Dave
610 and 710 both used 4.5j x 13 rims. If you want to match other rims it may help to upload a pic as there are slight variaions in style. If you can't find closer I should have a 710 wheel.
Good luck Andrew

Re: Gas bonnet struts for 1600

A very good result after our earlier posts I considered the strut tower and thought this isn't going to be that easy..........boy was I wrong, you make it look so easy. I always liked the factory support, simple yet so much better than the fold out arms most cars use. My race car was a problem, the ...

Re: Blown head gasket? L18

One area to check is the water galleries into the inlet manifold. If the lower bolts that bridge the inlet and exhaust manifolds come loose you can get a very primitive water injection. Since sidedaft manifolds don't have water galleries I get these welded up on race motor heads. If taking the head ...

Re: Rust prevention tips please

I agree with what has been posted and just add where ever possible clean out any dirt or dust that can hold water. And yes clean out any drain holes. Coat/paint any bare metal. Years ago I bought an import 910 coupe. I removed all the relevant trim and a panel beater sprayed inside all the cavities....

Re: Gas bonnet struts for 1600

Interesting project, a few years ago while looking for trailer locks I found http://www.selectlok.co.nz/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; These guys where super helpful and can do struts to suit. If you know your dimensions and bonnet weight they should be able to supply some...
