No need to feel like you have to apologize to me

A lot of the broken bits fell out then ... eg: the passenger side front door no longer has a plastic handle to pull the door closed with (which is a good thing... it was broken with sharp edges ... so I'd get complaints from those that used it).

Any luck with your gas neck filler gaskets?

I replaced both and it’s still slushing out

I’ll mess around with it some more, and if i can’t make it work I will end up soldering some custom solution ... I believe it’s the gasket that is on the hing side of the gas cap

Haven’t fitted it yet not home until early August so can’t comment

Yeah didn’t work that well... will have to figure out if it’s just the cap not closing or if the gasket only works with the refurbished gas caps that famous four sells will reach out to them

Well been an interesting and expensive month after lots of investigation my Pertronix flamethrower dizzy is frankly - S...t. Advance starts ok but at 2500 rpm drops to zero degrees BTDC. We have spoken to ICEignition and Performance ignition and both have seen same thing with this particular dizzy. So my original Lucas dizzy is going back to Performance Ignition in Nunawading, who re curved it and fitted a scorcher pointless kit (now dead) 30 years ago. Great to see a company still in existence after all this time. Now seats. I got my original Allan “Swampy” Marsh seats back along with wasps nests. Plus another set of reasonable two door seats and bases. Thanks Tony! This is what we are building

Not finished yet but looking good. Dizzy comes back next week. Oil leaks fixed. I’m much poorer but it will be awesome when finished.

No sheepskin. I’m over sheepskin had it for 15 years I now prefer to sit in seat itself.
