I was under the back seat doing some wiring (39 14 DHC) when I noticed that the main front to back brake rod is binding on the chassis cross member ( over) and the rear axle (under). In fact it is bent. Would this be just because the car is up on axle stands and the wheels/rear axle are hanging abno...

I dont mind admitting my age is somewhere between yours and that of my Rover!

Chris- Thanks for your offer. It would be really helpful to have photos and dimensions from an original coach line. The main dimension are the thickness of the line and its distance down from the bottom of the 'waist' profile or bonnet lid. I am presuming that the coach line details were consistent ...

My copy which I got new a couple of years ago has an introduction by Tony Holder in 1999 and goes up to Section T

Ah yes who wouldn't choose the sublety and beauty of a hand painted coach line if it were available. The barriers to this are a) finding someone within the region who is willing to do it, b) whether in the event the results is as good as promised (with a rare speciality there is no way of knowing wh...

Mike you reminded me that I had not taken any record photos so here are the links. Sorry if thsi is a bit clunky I haven't done photos on here before. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w27/RobHomewood/P1070928compressed_zpskmjkj7bz.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w27/RobHomewood/P1070931comp...

Chris - I did look at the Beugler kit- quite simple in principle but felt it would still need a more experienced hand and eye than mine to achieve good results. Apart from that it is quite a lot to spend out on a one off operation. I think I may try a narrower line as Jeff suggests at least to start...

Thanks Chris. I knew the colour - in my case blue- but the width is helpful. 5mm I estimate is just over 3/16". Does any one else have a different measurement? If all p2s had a coach line originally is it a choice or oversight that so few have the coach line now? I think it adds a lot to the appeara...

I have been planning to apply a coach line to my P2 DHC as I thought it was original livery and it is missing. However having looked through my photos (not an enormous collection) none of the other P2s apart from the DHCs have this coach line and maybe only half of the DHCs. Can anyone tell me wheth...

Sorry I didnt mean the rubber pads on the pedals themselves. I mean the rubber gaiters which seal around the pedal shaft where it goes through the bulkhead.
