Im sur you have another name.
When I get back from getting a few weeks of sunshine to the end of April I will take up your offer and arrange to come.
Appreciated.

It's Stu, but don't tell anyone

Any mechanic outfit will be able to do it. Look for mobile fitters.

You should be able to give it a go yourself.

Note Neils opening line is "I'm a useless home mechanic" , so that may be the reason why he had issues.

Is that your original torque converter or did you get a reconditioned one?
Pete

I'm not sure as it says modified TC on the invoice. Holes appear to align at first check.

Is that the strap fitted by Ashcroft?
Pete

Yes, better than my angle bar.

75w/90 is listed in the book.
Has the gear lever housing been inspected for debris?

Hi Im 3 hours away in oxfordshire if dont get help closer to home. An SA too. I would normally take a drive out but i'm engine out at the mo. Nearly said engineless but that's not true .

Car is otherwise complete

Welcome to visit anytime.

Hi Rhyd,

This are the external wheel bay mounts for the 'upper' rear belt reel only. Left and right sides.

The rear belt lower brackets you need to go to SJs or LBs for.

Gearbox returned from Ashcroft Transmissions in Luton. Looks fantastic.

First side positioned. Will secure later once finished other jobs, then looking to fully glass in.
