    Fitting the inlet/exhaust manifolds

Is this correct or should I have use the 2 individual gaskets on the inlet with nothing on the exhaust? I need to get this...

    I've just gone through 2 new fuel pumps both not working. They were Britpart although the seller has said he has more problems with Bearmach ones. I have now fitted an electric pump as I was fed up not having a car to use. Norrie.

    I th8nk it's fuel related. It's a new tank and new carb. I did have an issue with water in the fuel. Not sure how it got there but removed the tank and cleaned it out. Had the fuel pick up pipe out along with the fuel line and blew it out with an airline. Norrie .

    Fuel pump issues Series 3

    Ok after getting the Series 3 2.25 petrol ready for the road I’ve been having problems getting it to run properly.

    Seat belts in a Series 3.

    Can someone post a pic of where the buckles mount on a Series 3? I got a set of belts from the breakers when I got a load of other parts but I cant see how the buckles will bolt on. I thought they bolted through the front of the bulkhead and onto the chassis but the buckles foul the lip. It...

    Got the back door on today. Still to fit the lock and glaze it but it looks pretty good. The Wife also finished the centre seat. Also painted the steering wheel. Can't believe I've not finished this yet but everything seems to take longer than it should.
