That is scary! Doesn't someone do repro clips? Think I've seen some.

Re: Advice on selling my Laser

2 1/4 spring actually is rusty.... but they are not madly expensive, I was going to replace with lower poundage slightly longer springs anyway. Random pic of brake master shows the brake bias adjuster (off a Sierra) which lets you adjust back/front brake balance.

Re: Advice on selling my Laser

Here are a couple of pics: https://www.dro...

Re: Refurbished DashBoards

Has anyone seen the fibreglass dash that Capri club do? I understand you need to strip out the steel "chassis" of your original dash?

Re: Advice on selling my Laser

Brilliant advice so far... thanks and yes it is MOT'd at the moment, been SORNed a bit when I haven't had time to sort it and it lived in a garage mostly so no stress about SORN in the past.
Cheers,

Re: Any experience of this company for parts?

yup I have ordered bits and bobs over the years, seemed good to me, they have an older car part ordering line, or used to anyway, with a helpful bloke (Martin??) on the other end. I kept an ancient Fiat Tempura (sp???) and a Nissan Sunny on the road for years beyond their recommended retirement ages...

Re: 2.0 laser street sleeper.

Thx, I am trying Rustoleum combicolour on the brembos, having been advised that it's a bit better than Hammerite which is what I use under the car mostly, or caliper paint from Halfrauds.

Seems pretty good so far.

jokes aside, ,I have some that are a truly crappy copy on my Laser. Very disappointing fit- I am going to try warming them up and closing down the profile a bit so they grip better.
