Re: SP250 Fuel Tank

Hi, I fitted a stainless steel tank fabricated by Sportscar Metalworks. I would have the drain plug omitted next time because it protrudes down, makes fitting the tank a bit of a squeeze and I wouldn't use it to drain the tank anyway. Otherwise I was very happy with the new tank.

Re: Dart / MGB window regulator fitting

Re: SP250 Doors

Hi David, I have just had my Dart re-trimmed and used 264-R Plush & Sponge Snappon Door Seal from Woolies Trim. The red colour was a bit bright but the leather refurbisher darkened it with a stain. As John says it probably is a tiny bit wider than the original but the doors do shut nicely onto t...

Re: SP Master cylinder

Hi Syd,

Possibly but I intend to have it MOT'd for my peace of mind anyway so not harm done. I could always put the tin can on,

Re: SP Master cylinder

Hi Paul,

The plastic reservoir arrived promptly from JJC and looked very well made. It fitted perfectly although it was a fiddly job. I've filled the brakes and after two weeks there are no signs of any leakage from the master cylinder.

Re: Side Windows

Hi Chris, Many thanks for the detailed explanation. I will be very careful to see that the window surround sides are parallel. Is it the intention that the rubber on the outside face of the window channel is visible above the chrome trim when the window is raised or does it seal to the underside of ...
