Slowly....... Work and Christmas stopped play, the upside though, is at least they both provide funds

go to the scrappy and get one off any old austin such as metro maestro montego i think the older rover steering wheels fit aswell for a fiver or so its worth a dabble for a temporary wheel im pretty sure mini ones fit aswell

Looks like a good starting point to do as you like but for me I would keep it original.

that would work if i had the later three spoke steering wheel that has a nut under the centre, i've the prettier earlier wire spoked wheel that has a clamp bolt

Surely you'll be fitting one with an airbag if you're letting the Doris drive it buddy? :behindsofa:

a metro/maestro/mini etc steering wheel wont fit if it is the type of steerign wheel that is held by a pinch bolt. the shaft is a different diameter. a series 3 will fit these wheels however. my series 3 has a black rubber soft metro steering wheel, it sort of suits the series 3, aswell as giving more room and not covering your hands in sticy black **** whenever its damp.

Now it's a bit warmer maybe I'll be able to get on a bit better.............

WARNING today I willbe dragging Arthur out for an airing. Feel free to stop for a cuppa/chat and have a good look safely.

Don't want a repeat of yesterday thank you.

Chap in a series 3 109 was so busy waving and staring he wasn't looking where he was going for several 100 feet........

Been trying to find how much wiper motors are.... Have found some new ones (that dont look right) for about £50 each and proper ones recon and otherwise for £30 - £120 each.

So, question is, if you had a wiper motor for sale how much would you want for it?

If it were me, I'd want top dollar unless you were a genuine enthusiast, LZ'er, mate or all of the above. Then I'd think £30 would be about right!

Discuss

I think £30 is spot on.















ps .... I don't have one!

If an 80's fender one will fit I can get you one cheap

Cheers Andy

Cheers Dr ........... Erm too lol. It probably could be made to fit but I wants proper ones what are independant and go outta synch

I came for a look at the progress you made.......................................
