Nice, will have to do that! Only reason that the lenses broke is because a line of raised bricks were perfectly aligned so that bonnet scraped then wedged behind them as it dropped

That's a bu##er Chris!

How bad? got the pieces, could they be glued?

[themee]

Luckily I have a spare amber set that I purchased of Norman with the clear ones! They arent too bad actually, all still together one is cracked on corner other may just be scraped, may just keep my ambers for special occasions will have a look in the daylight tommorow!

Mike,remember you saying you wanted old servo your welcome to it. Is now in 2 halves,not realizing it had sealant holding it in I gave it a gentle tap it just popped open! bottom join completely gone from top looks new. If I can get car tested again before sat will be coming up to Redditch will drop it off, Can leave it somewhere if your not in!

[phillpot]

Thanks Chris, If I'm not in please make sure it's out of sight (tuck it under the silver car) or the scrap man will have it away!

No probs Mike, should be sometime Saturday afternoon. Have a wedding the night before so wont be early! Had a look in the light and both lenses are cracked, one has a big V shape in the middle and the other is scuffed and cracked

If the bonnet strut is the same as the boot strut then I have a spare one from my old V8S knocking around in the garage. Free to a good home.

I suspect not?

Looking at Simon's photo that looks longer than a boot strut?

[HvdWeerden]

Its not, bonnet strut is longer !

Sorry Mike, I forgot to take Servo with me,I had so many other things to take with me for wedding and doing house repairs. I am back in a few weeks will put it in boot now!

If it's still available I'd be happy to have it, might be just the thing I'm looking for. Yhm.

Don't beat yourself up over it, that's Simon's V8 and that is more than a bit special to say the least!

Already have Stuart every time I realise I should probably have looked about a bit more before buying.....no I'm bringing her slowly back to life.

V8 as well, its a nice motor no doubt.
