Re: Strut Braces

If I could make a suggestion about making a rear strut brace from scratch, why not go down the route I did and find a suitable bar that is already available and modify the ends to suit. Luckily, I live near to Demon tweeks so was able to go and see what is available. The hardest part to make are the...

I need to paint (spray) the metal windscreen trims on my mk1 and wondered if anyone knows what colour/shade black is a good match to origonal? Preferably using an aerosol.

Fuel pump

Thanks Kev, I definately have 12v at the last connector under the centre console with the service link wire in, which by-passes everthing which should allow the pump to run to pressure up the fuel system. I have a spare tank and pump that I have checked, so it looks like I'll be lying under the car ...

Fuel pump

Anyone got any ideas to save me some work? I finally got my car delivered back from being painted (which only took about four months!) and the fuel pump doesn't appear to be pumping. I have put the service wire in etc and have 12 volts at the last connector under the centre console. I just wondered ...

Re: Lowest Mileage MK1's

My mk1's only done 35000 from new.Thinking about it though, that's probably because it's been off the road for six years :oops:

Re: supercharger engine lid

Thanks again for all the replies.There's obviously at least a couple of ways of going about it. It's either alter the car itself, which is a bit of work because of the spraying really. Or to alter the lid itself, which might be the easiest way.(Hopefully even easier when dex sends a photo). Thanks ,...
