I'll educate the MoT guy next time I'm there.

He is a child of 45 so still has a lot to learn.

Powerflex bushes prices are through the roof!

Alfashop have rubber ones, but say for 33 only.......I thought Sud/ Sprint/ S1 33 were all the same

Just passed the MoT.......but got an advisory on spongy bushes in the four rear arms.

Daft prices from Powerflex on Ebay!

Is there anything sensibly priced out there?

Prefer original rubber.

Steve,
Just use the van at night!

The bumpers on my S2 Sud are also attractive.
And they have stood up to being outside for the last few years.

Welcome back Steve.

For LED bulbs have a read of "A worthwhile mod" on P2 of the Sud section.
For crunchy gears, learn to double de clutch
For elec window fuses/relays look at your wiring diagram......or ask Alex!!

Will fit a Sud, if you change the bracket

I'd be surprised if Justsuds doesn't have one?

I presume you have wiper arms that push on to splined drive bushes.

A good upgrade is late Sprint wiper mech with arms that fasten with a nut.....and don't fly off.

See P11 of this section titled "Wipers"

Also Pete Lenton in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.

Richard,

The guy is Lee at Trim Unique at Thornton Cleveleys

Contact 07885 990113.

There is an ex factory TVR car trimmer near you!
But i don't have his contact.

Try the TVR Car Club regional organiser for Lancs/Cheshire

Yes, the TS cars I had seemed to use more than their fair share of oil.
I never really understood why.
But they needed regular topping up, which of course not every owner does.

and only 46k miles on the clock!

Maybe it had been run low on oil?

"How many left" website seems to be still going. I thought it had been wound up. So interesting to see that just over 100 Suds and Sprints were licenced last year. So, a turnout of over 60 at NAD was amazing. Also interesting to see, that the number of licenced cars has been slowly increasing in the...

I wonder if these dims apply to a Sprint also?

Yes on P12 of this section under "Sud Jig Data".

Interesting to see the jig in use on top of the turrets and front valance.

Do the bodyshop have manufacturers dimensions, or do they just check for square/level etc?

I think Lou on here has AR body dims if needed?

Stunning photographs I must say!

And an excellent turnout of 64 suds.

I didn't think there were that many left on the road.

Are there any figures for this?

New springs perhaps?
Not sure if they are available?
If not, could a specialist make them for you?

I think a battery tray and drain pipe would be a good idea to avoid acid spillage/corrosion.
Pity they didn't fit one originally.
I think the X1/9 had one as original.

Don't bother fitting the HRW mod to a Spider..........unless you find a hard top that is!

Looks a lot better after a clean up!
There is an open pocket under the floor where the rear trailing arm bolt fits, to allow the bolt to be removed.

Some years ago, the meatheads at my local MoT place welded plates over, having told me there was corrosion there!

The rear of the semi trailing arm connection to the bulkhead must be the worst yet!
Worrying for those of us that might have this hidden behind the double skin!

Correction.

Ian at Sudshop!

Ian at Justsuds tells me that Sud valve guides rarely wear.
But to check for play by rocking side to side.

He also says to use 8 oil seals (sorry Craig!)

He stocks the oil seals, and can get the guides in to order.

I've bought a set of 8 valve stem oil seals.
But I wondered if worn valve guides were a common fault?

Just did a 300 mile blast in my S2 sud. It has a 1.5, 95 bhp engine. Had rebore and new pistons and rings a bit back. Exhaust smoke becoming evident on cold start up recently. But on a long uphill road ,under load, quite a trail of smoke behind me. I did wonder if one of the new rings had failed. Bu...

Set of Sud mudflaps on AROC website.

Have you considered a dry sump system?

I wondered if any boxer race cars have ever had one fitted?

Maybe try asking Gus at Alfatune?

New ones on ebay.it

But take the heart tablets before you look at the price.

Someone on here will have a used one......but not me, I just checked!
