Rover Interior

Hi All I'm looking at the interior of the Rover P3 and after some suggestions for materials that were used in the process of trimming the interior of the car. With the sliding sunroof I find that the green trim and the headlining both need replacing and I'm having some difficulty finding a suitable ...

Re: Rover upholstery materials

thanks for that help, the woollies reference to the headlining is great, but the material that I'm looking for that is green is different to the Bedford Cord, its a woven backing and has a sort of semi gloss finish of colour on it. I think it is the same thing that trims the inside of the doors as w...

Re: P3 Fuel line, between pump and carburettor

Here is a picture of the pipe now on the engine, the old pipe - possibly useful for pattern or parts for remake and enlgt of end that comes off the fuel pump. http://farm...

P3 Fuel line, between pump and carburettor

Hi I've been waiting to get round to working out how to upload pictures - but its taking me too long! So I'll see if I can ask the question without pictures. I'm effectively missing the original line between the pump and carburettor of my P3. It's a really dodgy looking modern rubber hose and one of...

Thermostat for P3

Has anyone had any experience with sourcing a new thermostat and possibly housing for P3 75 engine? What is the best option? I haven't actually tried to get the housing off yet and am unable to say what condition it is in.
Cheers

A new question about the sunroof

Particularly to Mike, who replied to my earlier question about the sunroof rear cover panel. I've a couple of specific questions about the rear cover: 1) Do you know the thickness of the steel sheet used? I'm guessing somewhere around 2mm - I haven't anything to judge this by. 2) What is the spacing...
