    Brake Master push rod

    P.S. It pays off to clean the rod from any trace of corrosion and give it a light smear with grease though...

    Brake Master push rod

    The "sliding sleeve is held in hole of the matching Girling rubber gaitor. It prevents the rod to wear the rubber bore when moving. No relation with the circlip...

    $83,500 Alpine on ebay

    If anybody is still after a real "hottie" Alpine, or better to say a well built Alger try that one which is currently for sale over here in Germany. The current owner is a club mate of mine and it is extremely well built for race & street at less money...

    Engine swap

    There is a Fastback Rapier with a Ford V8 installed in NZ. However not sure whether there is any chance to get such a modification legalized in Spain...

    Carb/Exhaust Configurations for Dyno test

    Jerry, terrific combos you have there so very much looking forward to see the actual dyno readings. My best bet on a 1592 would be either 38 or 40 DCOE's in combination with your 4 in 1. From all around driveability, responsiveness and mid range torque point of view I'ld put a bet on the 38's...

    HLM - Dashboard formica

    Thanks for the backwards loop, even though I enjoyed all those "burled wood" excursions. What I'm after is still a close looking formica replacement....

    Squeaky Shifter

    Never did that, but a good idea to fill oil into the nipples on top of the gear selector. How did you actually do it? Just letting the oil drip ?

    HLM - Dashboard formica

    P.S. Found that one in UK called "Altofina/Ebony" which at least from grain point of view appears similar - even it's way darker. Hmm , may order a sample... https://www.blackheathproducts.co.uk/products/lam/altofina/ebony_001/ Or the walnut one here might even be better...

    HLM - Dashboard formica

    Quite a few helpful links, thanks. The last two however I can't open (access denied). Nice burled wood grains, but still not really close to original stuff. See the pictures: P.S. Jerry thanks for your above close up. Learned something new again. Appearantly Harringtons used slotted domed...

    HLM - Dashboard formica

    Jerry, same unfortunate experience. I have 2 original broken RHD formica pieces which could be somehow used as a pattern, but thought a close match would make things easier...

    HLM - Dashboard formica

    Does anybody have a good hint for a formica replacement which would be at least a close match to the original wood pattern/colour used on the HLM dashboard ? Haven't found anything proper yet...
