Re: P2 Semaphore trafficators
I have fitted orange bulbs to the front sidelights and the rear white reverse light lenses. Conversion kits are available to have both in the front sidelights now. Through a system of relays, I have retained the trafficators. It would be foolhardy and dangerous to use semaphore indicators only on ro...

Re: On the hunt
I use our 100 daily and touring Ireland as well. Ideal for modern roads.

Even my wife's classic Mini has heavier steer...

Re: Sills,step brackets
Over long bolts/screws can just take longer to remove when rusty - they should not foul anything so I would try them

Re: Throttle spring arrangement
The arrangement works very well as long as the hole is not oval or the rod is not grooved and the lever is in the correct position. It hooks into a downward extension of the carb throttle lever
