I could be interested in the seats please.

I've used bearingkits before and they've been fine. I've also used BGH Geartech, they are good. Or there's Chris at Redline. Or Burtons. Loads of choice. I'd see if you can get it all from one place as that's going to be better probably for shipping cost. The plastic bits on the release arm pin always crack and fall off. New ones are available and some people use a short bit of windscreen washer tube I think.

Thanks, not work the same as mine then as the change was made to move the BDR backwards in the chassis by Scott 1". Interesting stuff!

Thanks. Looks similar but not quite the same as mine. What engine and box is in there?

On a side question, do you have a picture of the gearbox mount mod to the chassis? If like to compare and see if it's the same as my mod. Cheers

Thanks, good to know, my exhaust is mild steel and pretty unsightly with rust.

Indeed it is!

Thanks for looking!

There are two different BD heads early and late I understand. One is three bolt and one is 4. I have the three bolt version so sadly the headers wont fit

You have weather getting under the dash? That's strictly prohibited on my car!

thanks!

Are the primaries 3 bolt ones? How rusty are the pipes?

for reference, these might be the manufacturers of the drives that Burton sell. https://www.speedograph-richfield.com/shop/angle-drives/rgb1030 I imagine that Burton are out of stock as there are quite a few varieties and they are probably made to order. Unfortunately I can only recount that Speedograph Richfield's service is woefully slow. 9 weeks and counting waiting for a right angle drive and speedo cable!

ISTR in the distant past when mine did this, I got them reinforced when a fabricator welded them for me.

Sorry, I am going to disagree here. You don't need 720 degrees from the distributor as that's 4 revolutions of the crank - two complete cycles of all 4 cylinders. The problem with the crank trigger that you describe isn't that #1 is at tdc or bdc. It's that it is at tdc twice in the cycle. So you can have #1 at tdc, but #3 is firing. There's some basics to be got right here I think! Sorry.
