List updated.

I've ammended washer pumps to be only the bottle top type as the rivet on lucas ones are appearing on the bay remanufactured. Are the rear exhaust brackets the same for left and right exit?

Not that hard, or sought after.

That one was bought new from Mick Dolphin 3 or 4 years ago for less than a tenner IIRC. Like a lot of the 1300 stuff I've got, there's no demand so I imagine there's probably a reasonable supply still from somewhere.

Sorry to sound thick (again) but what is an 'adjustable' tie bar?
Come to mention it, what is a tie bar?
I guess I've taken them off my car, along with the front subframe but I'm not sure what bits they are :shrug:

Exhaust bracket

its not "handed" .. it fits both sides, just has to be turned around when fitted to the opposite side to locate onto the rubber mounting.

Re subframes

Welding to subframe is no longer a failiure item, provided it looks good and does not weaken it!

If the vinyl part is OK then all of the wood pieces can be changed quite easily. I wonder if the RHD wood bits will work in a LHD dash?

I just found one instruments facia with all the clocks and gauges in Italy for 60 Euros with chrome rings dials, by the way, which is the square light on the right lower corner?
Mine don´t have, it maybe seat belts warning light?

Regards, Raul.
