Where can I get the clamp and rubber block? Also I need the attachment that fits the hose onto the blower as mine is broken

I can't get the carpet to stay stuck to the roof! This is 2nd time I've glue it and it was hanging down the next day. Is there some better glue I should be using?

Just regular carpet adhesive spray - apply to both roof and lining, allow to go off for a couple of minutes and then stick in place. Never had any problem with mine, even in very hot weather.

Did you remove every trace of the old adhesive? It turns to a fine dust, which may be the problem.

Normal spay adhesive is not great on roof trim because of the heat build up, this is a high temp option that should do the job.

Never had a problem. But then I used felt van lining material which is very light.

Took the 914 for a drive. What a difference. Now smooth through the rpm range and instant acceleration. However, after warming up it now idles high so still a bit to do.

Changed the oil
Drove to the woods the car ran great but idles high. I had 15 mins before having to drop my daughter somewhere so I checked and the linkage had become loose and wasn't balanced. I adjusted and drove my daughter to her friends. It ran like a dog
I will sort it this weekend

Great drive up to Buxton for a walk. I spent most of my primary school years in Buxton so I know some of the town. If a lot nicer than when I lived there. The Cresent has been turned into a nice hotel.
Tried to get the horn working. The horn it's self works. I couldn't find the horn relay. My manual said under the fuse box? I managed to take the horn pad off the steering wheel. Then I grounded the wire which I think should of sounded the horn and nothing. It used connected to any of the fuses. No resistance between it and the fuses??
The wire which connects to the horn pad/switch is very lose so maybe someone disconnected something down circuit to stop is continuously sounding. Anyone know where the relay is and have any ideas?
