Looking for parts and info

[TCG999]

Some other parts that I am looking for is:
Tower/strut support bar, tappet covers - alloy (piper or others), Alloy radiator,

Some other info:
I wish to upgrade the front disc brakes and struts, is there an easy buy and bolt? I also would like to fit 8" under the back?? I wish to set up the height that makes the MK1 look and drive great

tcg999,

you can buy alloy rocker cover new! there are a couple making them
burton (http://www.burton.co.uk)
throbnozzle (http://www.throbnozzle-racing.co.uk/)

old skool covers are hard to find and very sort after... so purchasing a new item may be your best bet

strut top well if you talk to geoff (a member here) he may be able to help you out..im not sure whether he is still doing them on a single order basis.

alloy radiator ..nearly everyone is making these now...its only a matter of a informing the maker on what you want and they will make them

try
aussie desert cooler (http://www.aussiedesertcooler.com.au/)

Jewels,

I got in contact with the guy who owned my 66 GT MK1 over 5 years ago and there used to be a jack in the car. He send me a photo of one that he found at home (see attachment) but he's not 100% sure. It looks a little different to the photo you sent me.

I'm really struggling to find oringinal jack pictures on the net so it's a bit hard for me to be sure. Really appreciate your help.

the one i have pictured in my post is an original mk1 jack
sorry i have no handle

the one in you image is not the right one its from a later model

the one i have will need a wire brushing and a new paint etc but will be ok

[jewels]

here are the pics you were looking for

see handle and brace (now i think there may be another typebesides this one)

if anyone else has the 'brace type' can you post an image for scraps please

the other odd image is of the button used in the middle of the grill to release the the bonnet catch

this just bolts onto the mechanism so a push is all that is needed

[scraps666]

That's a great help Jewels. Pics are a lot clearer.

I'm still on the hunt ... there's none around.

Is that bonnet release a spare part? How much?

scraps ,
you may have to check that you have the catch...to see if there is a little plate pointing towards the front with 2 holes in it
if that is there then that part is all you need with just 2 screws to fit

will check on our spares for you
