That's probably the most desperate thing I'm after right now!

Cheers, Shaun.

Ps...and a tunnel mounted (horizontal) heat shield please! :)

Hi Shaun, heat shield was saved but provisionally promised to someone else (awaiting confirmation if they already have acquired one),

Will have to take a look for the bracket. I don't recall seeing it (the complete exhaust had rotted into non existence including 75% of the downpipe and the gearbox is sitting squarely on the garage floor with no obstructions, so don't hold your breath....

Does that mean you're keeping the exhaust brkt then?
Come and see some pretty shoddy, slow driving of a really well prepared competition Sprint here!

It's the bakelite internals of the servo that are obsolete; don't junk it just because the case is rotten as there are many non functioning servos with pristine cases...

I didn't specifically mean that Shaun, just that I had never noticed one! However, now that I've looked, seen it and realised the complexity of it, I plan to leave it attached to the box for now. I do have a couple more boxes sitting in sheds, lockups etc. so if there are any spare on them I would be prepared to let one go - I'll let you know!

Mikey, I apologise....I clearly didn't see your response - if my reply came across as arsey then it wasn't intended...far from it!

Cheers for looking and getting back anyway! :)
