Quick question what is the best steering lock that fits over the wheel
My old one would press the horn !
Anyone know if the Pro version of the number one choice the Stoplick Pro Elite works ?
Or any of the other top rated ones please ...
Just got it out of storage at my mates and looking good even with the patina of 17 years use
There was a set of spares being ordered up and made by one of the members and a lot of people bought them. OMP will remake with enough orders
Plus I have all “my precious” suspension spares in one...
Hi they were the Cup springs apparently speaking g to Andy which I believe were pretty much the same as the Trophy ones.
Will need to look for rings when next at the garage.
Had the front springs from the relatively recent special order organised on the forum.
Back to Trophy and she has been to Andy Cochrane’s for a once over and MOT.
Less than a thousand miles in about 15 months so not really getting any use.
Good thing is we have bern tracking down the last missing bits to finish the build
So complete springs and shocks set - tick .
Oh...
Actually didn’t really get it out over the summer but currently back with Andrew Crichton for MOT and check over.
But she is looking good .
Now that this is fully restored looking at another restoration Project a 1974
Innocenti Mini Cooper S
To finish off got the car fully detailed by Fanatical Andy and also all the wheels returbed.
Scrubs up very nicely and Andy has done a great job - he is fanatical !
Seats came up particularly well I thought
Well got hold of one of the last of the unobtainium !
A pair of front bump stops from a place in France ( thanks very much to whoever posted in here the link for that)
Also had to get a new ABS wheel sensor. Imagined that would be a fairly standard commodity part but no.
Andy Cochrane...
And all complete with new front calipers pads and discs !
As always very tidy job room Andrew Cochrane
Now getting locked up in a garage with a trickle charger to make sure they stay pristine for as long as possible!
After chatting with Ktec and Andy Cochrane they suggested the best combination of Pads and discs were the high carbon fronts with some Carbon Lorraine 5plus pads.
These are smooth / no vanes and are kinder to the CL pads which can be. A tad crumbly
They have arrived and look so much better...
In the end decided for brand new calipers and also to refurbish the rears and new discs all round .
Getting all
Cleaned up
Then some paint on the brackets will be next stage and deciding which disc pad combo is the best option.
