Re: Genuine Lucas coil supplier?

Sounds like I'm best sticking with the unknown coil that has been in the car since 1988 then!

Genuine Lucas coil supplier?

Where can I get a GENUINE negative earth DLB105 Lucas GOLD SPORTS HIGH OUTPUT ignition coil from please?

There are lots of Lucas Sports Coils for sale but I've seen mention that a lot are cheap copies of poor quality sold using the Lucas name.

Momo steering wheel boss recommendations?

I have a 70 Traveller and the combination of Morris Commercial front seats (at maximum rearward travel) and a 'retro'17'' banjo? wheel - both fitted by a previous owner - make getting in and out difficult - and when driving the wheel rubs on my legs. Any recommendations for a SPECIFIC Momo boss that...

Re: Milenco Steering Lock

Shouldn't the long arm be on the right so it fouls the door? Where it is still gives a modicum of steering ability. Just a thought.

Re: Tex door mirrors - help!

These are the type that need screw holes into the door, then a plastic fitting that pushes in, bridging the two holes so it's effectively a double rawlplug fitting. THEN, you add the mirror and tighten it up using a grub screw through the mirror base, parallel to the door. This supposedly tightens t...

Tex door mirrors - help!

Is there a trick to keeping them on the car? The shape of the plastic mounting plinth seems designed specifically for the grub screw 'fastener' to push it OFF - not secure it. Twice now, when seeming solidly secured, the drivers door mirror has fallen off, once at 'speed' and once stationary on the ...

Re: Opie oils?

Thanks. I didn't bother as they were having a 50% sale on the particular oil I'd been recommended to find anyway. May order some more while it's still on.

Opie oils?

Placed an order with them and got a message back saying there is a club discount and to check the club site.

I can't find any mention of them under 'Member Benefits' or anywhere else.

IS there a club discount with them, if so how can it be applied please?

Re: Handbrake sleeve? Recommendations?

Excellent. Thank you.

Wasn't sure what would fit.

There's a black one just below the one you've linked to and further down there are handbrake levers with that sleeve fitted so you can clearly see it doesn't foul the release button.

Thanks again! :tu1:

Re: Handbrake sleeve? Recommendations?

Got some exactly like that - but they don't help.

Thanks for the thought though.

Handbrake sleeve? Recommendations?

The bare metal handbrake in my 1970 Traveller is not too good for my slightly arthritic hands. Does anyone know of a leather sleeve that will fit over it to make it easier to grip but still allow the release button to work please? New, second hand, aftermarket? For example I see a lot of quite chunk...
