This set was supplied with spacers and wavy washers, there were just enough spacers but I needed to gain a washer's worth of thread to get it just right. The bolt supplied is now just right in the anchor point.

Supplied by Quickfit Safety Belts, really nicely made easy to fit.

Thank you, I will gen up on this and get it driving better. I might need the experience of a decent mechanic in the Northampton area if any body knows of one?

Brakes did bind, has made some positive difference to the driving, will get onto the compression testing and the service manual, thanks.

SC but feels tired.

Finally got the brakes sorted on my S1, drives safely now. Using it as a daily car and it does seem a tiny bit underpowered, gets up to fifty mph, according to the orange strip, but doesn't really want to go any faster, not that I want to drive fast all the time but overtaking sometimes is...

Ah OK, sounds straightforward enough. Thanks for the info, I'll probably make it from some aluminium.

Guessing that is just to pack out the gap?

Is the spacer part of the kit?

Hi, does this look correct for a series 1? Was told I may need an aluminium block to reinforce it which isn't in the fitting kit.

What do they actually do?

Thanks, glad it was a simple fix.

Hi, my heater drain tubes have perished badly, gone very bobbly and crispy, almost like fish batter......anyone know what causes this? Old age, too much heat or just natural causes? Picture is a bit scary, sorry about that. The new one.......does it attach to the eye bracket via the bend and...

No sign of it so far. Checked the S1 rear seat belt anchor point, does this look familiar? Also do I need anything extra to strengthen the captive thread?

Going on a badge hunt......

Referring to the front Irvin statics, it was suggested that I change them, partly because of the snap fit on the B post, is this something to consider, they seem sound enough to me, in fact they are in great condition?

Lost the parachute off one of my front Irvins, guessing they are pretty obsolete now

Made some temporary belt hooks, they will do for now

Picked up the car earlier, all calipers replaced, stops well and in a nice straight line so happy with all that. Time to do some mileage and enjoy the car at last.

Wins are supplying stainless sleeved so all good there

OK thanks for the advice, might as well send them back for someone else to benefit.

Wondering if it is worth keeping the old calipers and refurbishing them rather than bothering with getting the surcharge back?

Let's hope so, I just want to drive the car...........

I'm currently waiting for the calipers to be fitted, this is being done at my local garage so will take a look. Maybe starting with the non-return valve I guess, pedal does feel a bit hard but not had the car long enough to really know. Also, thanks for moving the thread, appreciated.
