Prices are for members only, delivered, except for cills which are collect only due to them being too long for the post unless you want them couriered which is expensive, again due to length.

Front wing between wheel and door is the third from bottom David.

Order through Malc, he can take your membership too. Malc then e-mails me the address and I dispatch. We'll be ready for ISO 9002 soon :lol:

If it used to be an 1850 then driver's side is about par for course (as would be the case with a Sprint). 1300 and 1500 usually the passenger side goes...can you guess why?

Oh...
...patches but they look ugly...
before it arrives with you, I never purported them to be pretty :wink:

I think the 1300's go there because of all the crap thrown up from the side of the road/gutter. Also leaking batteries :(

I'd guessed it was chassis rails due to the teabag you currently have on yours; its battery location which positively correlates to the side affected, not that I've ever knowingly encountered a leaky battery myself!

Malc's number is: oh treble seven four six five too five too won

Yer just seems a fair old distance from the battery to be affected

Alun, you have my utmost respect. Great range of panels there, which i'm sure will be of help to a great many members.

Might even be needing some myself soon....

arrangements

David. Was keeping everything quiet until things are finalised. Mart, very kindly, went above the call of duty, and popped along to see the car today for me.

I suspect a deal will be in place tomorrow (today now :) ) and all shall be revealed!

All the offers of assistance have been very greatly appreciated btw, and it really is what makes the club what it is.

I thought it would be the location of exhaust manifold that was important for the chassisleg rot (or not). OHC left hand side -> no rot, OHV right hand side -> no rot.

The left hand chassis leg on my Sprint was partially stripped off paint by exhaust manifold heat, but did not rust. I guess the exhaust heat keeps the chassis leg nice & warm :)

The downside is starter engine solenoids wearing out quicker on OHC models due to exhaust heat as well as steering couplings on LHD cars :?

All wrapped and ready to go Adam.

I guess the exhaust would help things out down there, but the phenonomen tends to repeat with the front inner wing boxes too
