« Last post by LotusEuropa on Today at 03:54:52 AM »Thanks again to all.
Can someone tell me if SJ or Banks is selling the correct screws for the steering wheel assembly? I mean the 7 screws fixating the steering wheel to the hub.
If not, can you give me the correct specification? Have to replace the incorrect screws on a wheel I already have.
Thank you.

Congrats on your new project!A high school friend's older brother rolled his TVR Griffith when we were teenagers. (He survived.) Not sure if it was a 400 or a 200 with a V8 conversion, but it was scary fast, and seriously tail happy (hence the roll.)

So many terrible or overvalued cars selling for so much more than than any Europa.
I second that!
I cant believe the prices of VW BUGS, Or even the vans , I drove one down to the Jersey shore with a dirt bike in the back and couldnt even get to the posted speed limit of 55 . I blew the engine and replaced it before giving it back to my neighbor that LENT it to me.

« Last post by FourLoti on Thursday,May 30, 2024, 02:00:52 PM »I expected higher as well. And I may be about to pull the plug on listing my TCS on BAT. Either on this auction or another, a commenter opined that prices are getting soft all around, who knows. But then again, this seller couldn't find the engine number and made this curious comment: I was unprepared for the level of engagement necessary of seller but I respect all the questions .
Apparently listed it on BAT without reading any other auction comment list?

Garage / Re: TCS rear light sockets
« Last post by Kendo on Thursday,May 30, 2024, 01:08:10 PM »According to the plater I sent them to, the reflectors are aluminum and would contaminate the plating bath. He was able to unplate the units, then noticed the aluminum and stopped. He thinks the reflectors have to come off. They are crimped on with the sockets. So if the sockets are destroyed getting them off, I’d want to have replacements.
This could all be wrong. The light units are currently out of my reach, so I can’t confirm.

« Last post by BDA on Thursday,May 30, 2024, 12:58:02 PM »It sold for $21,500. That seemed pretty cheap to me. There were some obvious flaws - especially with the interior but that would be really inexpensive to fix up. There was no driving or cold start video. There was a start video showing no smoke from the tailpipe but I think having a driving and cold start video would have given potential buyers a bit more comfort.
There was a reserve on it and when the bid was $21,250, the seller said the reserve had been met so tt could have been met sooner. It was a good sale for both buyer and seller but I thought it was nicer than the final price indicated.
