Hi

Has anyone got a spare outer seat rail support for a 1971 car kicking about? Only have one for some reason!

Many thanks

Looks great Richard, what a good colour!

Noticed you went with the original inner trailing arm bush bolts that make removal impossible with engine in. on mine I made a bolt with split pin and castellated nut on the inside so it could be removed without any major traumas.

Many thanks

I used Glasurit products for many years and found them top of the heap in both quality and price! There are other paint manufacturers our there (Nexa, the old ICI, Standox etc) who also produce very fine products, which to the customer will be indistinguishable. It's all down to how good the person ...

Welcome to DDK

I've just started having the same issues this last week. Thought it was just me having a glitch!

Hi Matt The main thing you should be worried about is the CFM delivered by your compressor. If using air tools or spraying with an air fed mask (which you should be if using modern 2K paints) you will need a compressor with a high constant delivery. This is the most important part of your set up alo...

Clean area up and apply a good primer on the bare metal. Then spray Upol Gravitex with Shultz gun over area fading in to match original. Rattle cans tend to be over thinned to allow the flow through the spray nozzle. Colour as required.
