Re: Were cloth seats an option in 72 ?

Not as far as I know. First car to have Cloth seats was the Jubilee and then it rolled out to TC spec cars afterwards.

Those SU pumps can have new diaphragms fitted if you can get a kit.

Re: Wheel cylinders - repair or replace

Yes best done if all the hydraulics are new.
does not hurt paint but you still do not wont it on your paint, mainly if you want to paint it again as you have to clean it very well to get the silicon off or the next coat will not be good. But at least if it leaks or you spill some there is no issues

Re: Wheel cylinders - repair or replace

When I restored my car and replaced all the hydraulics with new parts (Unipart) I refilled with Silicone brake fluid which does not corrode and has been in the system for 11 years, no leaks and no corrosion.

Re: Drum brake retaining screw thread size

Just make sure the counter sunk screw head is flush with the outer face of the drum or you will loose wheel studs then the wheel!

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

I have got one, if you were round the corner I would lend it but you can buy new rings if you break the one on there. Normally a sharp tap with a screwdriver evenly round on each lug shifts them.

Re: Mk3 Gold saloon

Whenever a new seal is fitted you should cross hatch diagonally the smooth area all the way round with wet and dry to break up the smooth surface to allow the seal to bed in properly. or not put the seal in the exact same place.

Re: Marina inbound, with questions
