Tend to go for 40% anti freeze. Have always stuck with Bluecol, flushing and changing every 2 years.

If memory serves me, I couldn't find replacement rubber seals anywhere, so be VERY careful with them.<br>

Think I opted just to leave them in place because of it.

Remember guys, the speed limit is just that. It's the MAXIMUM speed allowable on that part of road. So, when someone is doing 30 in a 50, he/she isn't doing something wrong. <br>

Just think of all the paper that would be saved, were Rimmers to publish a catalogue consisting purely of parts they HAVE in stock, or were likely ever to obtain. I reckon their catalogue would be about quarter of the current one.

Jonners, Sapphire is a great colour, always regretted selling that Sprint. Definately only available in '74 (for Sprints anyway). Have a Triumph colour chart from that year showing it.<br>

I may regret asking this & apologies in advance as I know it's not the correct place, but, anyone know of ...

With paint, you can generally just touch in ...

Only company I'd recommend is the London Chroming Co. You'll pay for the job, but their work is second to none. I got both bumpers done by them.
