    How to re-black the plastic trims?

    I'm happy to try anything but as its a product you apply does it streak or fade again after time. I don't mind having to apply it once every 6 months but not weekly or EVERYTIME it rains?

    My new project

    Yeah new floor done. I was very lucky that it really was just the floor that had minor rust. The side plates wheel arches and cross members where all solid and no rust. I painted them with hamerite anyway to make sure they lasted another 20years. I'm working all week but this weekend I'll take...

    Wow £59 is really good value for a new fob. Normally can expect to pay over £100 for one. Cheers. I'm ordering the kit now.

    Also can I adjust the steering wheel position. For the wheels to be dead straight the steering wheel sits off centre slightly to the right. As a result while driving the wheel keeps trying to centre so I have to hold the steering wheel forcibly to the right to keep the car straight.

    welding boot floor

    Cheers guys. I know this subject has been done to death but I keep getting conflicting info. I'm a beginner at welding. Yes I have bought a MIG so willing to learn. HOWEVER I don't want to do It only to find its not acceptable and end up cutting up a brand new floor and starting again.

    welding boot floor

    I wanted to check plate mine too as I have no welding skills at all. When I spoke to various MOT testers they said it must be welded. Although it's not structural, because the seat belt mounts (and my LPG tank) bolt through the floor it has to be welded. THEN you can check plate over top.

    welding boot floor

    I have a question on boot floor. Have cut old one out and hammerited EVERYTHING. Question is. When welding new one in, for MOT purposes do I have to seam weld all the way round or can I spot/bead weld every few inches and seal the gaps with silicon or similar?

    Rough startup ??

    So I took out the stepper and gave it a good old clean. It was carbed up. Replaced but no change to the warm up hunting problem. I did notice that stepper motor 'pin' (whatever it's called) didn't move when I pushed it. Should it freely move when I push/pull?????? Will it only move when...
