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
A couple of years ago Robert Grinter had a batch of regulators manufactured to match the originals. He may still have a few.

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,

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.

Neil

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.

Re: SP Master cylinder
John, Many thanks for your advice. Rather than fill my new tin reservoir can everyone has concerns about I have just ordered a plastic reservoir from JJC. Neil
