    1972 P6B Auto (BW35) slipping forward, fine in reverse

    @harveyp6 is your man for advice on this. Hopefully he'll be along shortly. Good luck

    2200TC Project

    I'd be very surprised it if was bolt up from underneath on either side. Standard practice would normally be bolt down from the top, nut underneath, as it prevents the engine wandering free if the nut works its way off the bottom. I think the fibre washers are part of a top hat piece for...

    Great pic. I love all the complementary tones and colours

    Rover P6 Events before Sept 5th? "Southern UK"

    You're welcome. Glad you've been able to make plans. Enjoy the trip! PS: Nice profile picture. I took that photo myself many years ago when I first rebuilt me engine. It's been circulating on the P6 Club website for some years as part of their promotional stuff. Glad to you liked it.

    Bulkhead grommets

    Thanks, I've got as good access as you can get, so I'm hoping it's not too troublesome! I will have to remove the lever on the end of the throttle bar, which I'm hoping can be released alright on the pinchbolt. The mount and spring are already disconnected from the bulkhead. I'm assuming I'll...

    Bulkhead grommets

    Thanks. I've got the throttle shaft disconnected from its mount, so should be able to fit the grommet without too much fuss. The reserve tap O-ring was replaced last week. I'm hoping to find replacements for the battery main positive grommet, and the reserve tap cable grommet. I think I've found...

    Series 2 Drivers Seat

    Yes and no. In terms of mounting points, a passenger seat will go in, but it will foul the seat belt reel on a series 2 car (or at least a series 2 with inertia reels fitted). The early seats were modified in 1971 with the fitting of a chromed steel plate to pull the cushioning clear of the...

    Wanted - P6 rear wings

    Looking for a pair of P6 steel rear wings. Ideally series 2, so they've got all the holes already drilled. Cosmetic condition unimportant - just need to be solid and free of any major dents or corrosion. They are for a bare metal respray job. I'm in Merseyside/Cheshire, and often in...

    Rover P6 Events before Sept 5th? "Southern UK"

    Hi, By the Dales, do you mean the Yorkshire Dales or the Peak District? Either way, we would consider those areas in the North of England (although I appreciate that on a map they are in the southern half of Britain). MGBD are based in Wolverhampton, although they have recently moved warehouse...

    Front Seat Belt

    Securon 500/30 is your best bet for a series 2. They are manufactured brand new and come with all the fittings, which will fit the P6 anchor points. The buckle design isn't "period correct" but they're more likely to save you in an accident. If you have an original inertia reel buckle, it is...

    Getting back on the road

    That's a nice solution. JRW sells remanufactured selector fingers in the UK, but that looks a very acceptable alternative. And probably longer lasting than a repro nylon type.

    'Jubilee' P6...

    What a fantastic story. I'd love to know more about it. Welcome to the Forum!

    ET headrests - looking to swap

    That's very impressive actually. I've always assumed it looks "over painted", as I've seen some leather seats that have been recoloured and it just doesn't look right. I'll get a sample from Woolies or one of those suppliers to see what it looks like. Thanks! PS: Assuming you sprayed this with...
