    Rear brake disc bolts.

    This is what you’re looking for. Note that these are high tensile bolts. Yours Vern

    Rear brake disc bolts.

    You’ll have to get them with the bolts, they don't exist as a separate item. Oddly enough the parts book actually lists a thick & thin version of the washer, but I have only ever seen the thick version. And I probably have 50 or 60 of these scattered about. Yours Vern

    Vancouver ABFM

    It’s not the Rovers. It’s Vancouver, and that was actually a darn nice day for Van Dusen. There would have been two more P5s, but one took a rock to the windscreen a couple of weeks earlier, and the other one is stuck in the Okanagan as it won’t start reliably. Yours Vern

    Rear brake disc bolts.

    I’ve got many here, with the washer. But I’m in Canada, so it’ll be a few days. Cost of the postage. Yours Vern

    What is the best order in which to disassemble the body parts?

    " 2 people for bonnet/hood and boot/trunk is advised. " Wimps! Though to be fair, the bonnet is a handful if you’re on the shorter side. Yours Vern

    Fuel leak at pump.

    I don't have one handy, but it’s about an inch as I recall. That line is fairly short, just goes to the reserve tap. Tricky bit is I’ve never been successful trying to remove the metal end and inserting a new one in the same bit of plastic. Yours Vern

    Seeking Outdoor P6 Car Cover Recommendation

    I’ve been having good success with this cover, cheap and so far seems reasonably durable (8 months now and not showing any sun wear) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C3Z1K1BL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Yours Vern

    Manual and Automatic engine differences (2000 SC)

    Could have been a conversion. Turning a 2000 into a 2200 was all the rage in the 90s, I have two engines like that. Yours Vern

    Drivers door latch

    The door key hole is round, not teardrop and has no cover. Functionally the latch is the same, the difference is the way the levers and rods inside the door attach to the latch. Round were used up to mid 1968 ish (NADA timing, probably 1967 for the local market) If you can’t find one locally...

    Drivers door latch

    That is worn. Not that I’ve paid much attention, but I’ve never seen one worn like that before. Without the sharp edge I could see it bouncing open. So I’m changing my opinion, you need a replacement. But I don’t think you need to find NOS, a good used would do. There are two flavours of latch...

    Drivers door latch

    I’ve never (yet) known a door latch to wear out, before searching for a replacement I’d go thorough all the adjustment procedures. Yours Vern

    The white valve is just pushed into the rubber ring there, it will come out without too much effort by prying with a tool between the white flange and the rubber ring. Once you have it out, you can twirst the valve to loosen it in the rubber hose, then pull it out. The comment about needing...
