Hi there, yep, it's the rear doors. I'm hoping that the more their used and the more WD40 I can get in there, the better they'll get. I'm not sure the handle is at fault but I'll have to take a close look. Thanks for the response

Hi all, has anyone encountered any problems with the opening part of the door locking mechanisms on a 4 door. Works perfectly fine for three/four pulls on the handle, then something goes "click" at the door handle end with the door mechanism requiring a reset using the internal handle then...

Hi All,

I'm looking to finish my 4 dr split screen revocation project and have a slipping windscreen wiper wheel box. Just wondered whether anyone out there would have one for sale. I think the cogs have worn so low that replacement is the only option. Thanks.

Hi All, can't seem to find any pics about installing rear lap belts. Do "we" think that the far edge of the rear floor pan is the best place to drill for the outside fixing (red dots) ? I'm guessing the midline fixing is as shown here. Thanks +++[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1...

Yep, that's £350 per seat. He said 2 days per seat at £150 per day plus £50 per seat supplies. I think that's quite reasonable for a refurb job. Anyway, will probably go for it as a few weeks away yet from hitting the road. Thanks all for the advice/opinions.

Good afternoon all, I have a dilemma .... have spent the last two years doing up a '56 4 door, split screen and have got to the renovate the front seats or replace stage. Took my two original, ox blood coloured folding front seats to the seat re-trimmer today for a quote for a recover / refurb. £350...

So sorry for the late response. Ive found two chaps around the Monmouth area who did the work for me. I had already striped the doors back to bare metal and had bought the repair panels. Just PM if you need names and contact nos.

I got it form CharlesWares and it seems to be a good fit. Slowly working out where and how much to cut to keep my job as simple as possible. Staying clear of the inner wings and rear wing flange as the metal's good. Have just cut off where there is a double skin along the length and working towards ...

Here's a link to some pictures as can't seem to upload. Sorry about the jumbled order. The red lines are the potential cutting lines.

Thanks.

I need some help. Of those who have attempted this repair, if the rear inner wings and flange aren't too bad, should one cut off the xs on the replacement panel and weld along the red lines or is it better to fit the whole panel as it came with the return and new flange. Thanks everyone.

Just had four of mine done. The welding for all four was £250 and now comes the filling and sanding to disguise the joints (+repair panel costs). They've all been done well but the filling and shading is going to take time. Some of the repair panels, rear in particular were awful and the welder gave...

Thanks all for the advice. Think I'm going to do the boot edge, up and over including the door frames, down to the boot slam panel, working one side to the other. I think the wings, doors, bonnet, boot lid and front grill will all have to be done separately. Just pushed for space but have a 100l com...

Good evening my learned friends. I have a question; wings, doors, bonnet and boot lid off, all stripped and etch primed. Body stripped etch primed and first coat of primer/filler. Should one carry on spraying each panel off the car OR wings on, boot lid and bonnet on and then go for it. I guess I am...

Thanks so much, I wonder if that's why my new master cylinder and entirely new braking system has a fair amount of travel too despite careful bleeding !

Anyway, back to it and press on ..... Thanks

Oooh, just found this link http://www.mmoc.org.uk/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=5793 that discusses the fact that the floor (gearbox cover and M/C) need to be back in first to "hold" the pedal down. Will re-fit as well and re-assess.

Hi all, need some help. Trundling along nicely putting my '56 4 door back together after a home-renovation. Re-attached the clutch pedal (new clutch plate and thrust bearing) and when the pedal is adjusted to the acceptable level of play (1-2 inches of travel) the pedal position is much higher than ...

Thanks all, where in the chassis leg did you drill you entry or exit hole ? Thanks once again

Thanks all. Not sure but looks like the braided pipe is the way to go me thinks. What about the chassis leg entry - drill or not to drill that is the question ? Thanks all once again.

Dear All, Having read a few topics about positioning of remote reservoirs and leaky connection pipes, I have decided to go ahead with the remote reservoir. I intent to mount it on the small strengthening panel close above the bump stop. My question is where to drill a hole in the chassis leg through...

Thanks Les,

Yep, pedal re-fitting comes next. I guess the wiring loom also heads skywards at this point too ?

Cheers,

Stuart
