Hi all,
I placed a call for a lhs wiper linkage for my FC, the linkage has too much play in it and is sloppy while moving which reduces the coverage on the screen.
Has any one out there got a set of linkages or any advice on how I can repair them.

H all,
Has anyone got an extra LHS wiper bezel and linkage I can get my hands on, or a way to repair the one I have. Mine has too much play in it and only wipes half the windscreen.  John

Thanks Spinner,
I contacted them and they will make covers up to specifications for the same price think I will order one and they are going to add to their system so they will be available

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can buy a steering wheel cover to suit an original FC steering wheel, I have done a few searches and can't locate one to fit a 42cm thin wheel, my wheeljust feels a bit thin to me and I would like it to feel a bit bigger in diam.

In case anyone is interested I ended up disassembling the vent window and tacked the broken stub back in and it all worked well problem solved, it wasn't too hard to do I also replaced the rubbers while I was at it.

Thanks but the part that is broken is the stub that is attached to the metal part of the vent window I will have to try and get a complete assembly or try to silver solder maybe.
Found an assembly but they are asking a ridiculous price for it. I'll see how i go repairing it.

I have nearly finished my build but I have a broken FC LHS vent lock any able to help me out?

Thanks GMHwagoon
I will give him a ring John N

Hi all
Just wondering if anyone knows if i can get a set of scuff plates for my FC  I can't seem to find a set on the internet

Thanks so much for that info you have helped greatly, I am going to try and come along to a meeting soon.
I have had this project going for some time but have now decided to put my foot down and work on it more often.

Hi,
Just wondering if there is any way of knowing the original painting layout (main body, roof and boot along with the insert) on my FC Color codes are Fountain Blue and Indian ivory insert, does that mean that the only part of the original scheme that was ivory was the insert and around the doors? Also I have just noticed that the chassis no and the number on the body identification plate are different, is this going to cause any grief to me?

Correct I found that out when I went downto get one, Has anyone tried the AccuSpark eletronic ignition on the bosch dissy I was thinking about putting one of them in or gettine a complete electronic dissy for it, (i know it aint original!!) but does it work?

I found that Rare Spares have them for $21 The guy in WA wants over $100 for a rebuild and I have to send him a changeover unit

Thanks Rob I'll try to find him

I am just setting up a grey motor I have rebuilt and was wondering if anyone knows what dwell angle should be on it using the original Bosch Dissy or do I just set the gap and leave it.
Also I am chasing a vacuum advance diaphragm as mine just don't work thanks all.
