Righto folks HUUUUUUGE update of photo's, sorry it's been so long, an old knee injury has laid me up for this year :( , so I thought it was time to do an update of the photos i've had in me camera :grin: Here goes.... Here i've marked out and drilled some holes to make an even bigger hole.... http:/...

Yep, and here's a crap fitting pattern passenger wing

Ouch mate I know what ya mean tho, the clutch for the Cossie Capri cost me over £200 quid, and that was from Techni Clutch when he was having a Special on AP Racing Fast Road Clutches.

Thats ok mate,np :wink: make sure you get the right gearbox oil, if it's a 4 speed gearbox it's ep80 I think,where as 5 speed uses a synthetic or semi synthetic oil :wink: . You might want to losen off the prop shaft to axle bolts before you jack the rear end up of the car too, unless your gonna put...

Far as I know,it's just a seal at the end where the prop goes into the gear box. Not a too big a job really.

Just gotta get hold of a 3.44 crown wheel then the expensive cost...

Does anyone know where I could get some Master Cylinder Seals for a 2.8i please? It is 2.8i ones that are used on the Caprisport 260 conversion using the Landy master Cylinder isn't it? I've got a new brake fluid bottle,just need some new seals now.

A heat gun or hair dryer should do the trick to warm them up enough to peel them off

I did this for a show,was a summer camp one year and the theme was mad max. All you have to do is get some thick enough plate,bout 4-5mm thick. Think I made the metal about 20 inches long and about 3inches wide. down the centre of the metal I drilled holes about 2 inches apart. Then I just replaced ...

Sorry to pinch your post,I've got your GTR 260 setup with Landy master cylinder. Have I connected up the brake pipes in the right places?



Thanks for any help mate
