Sorry guys, it is a little out of date.... Moved house a little while back and need to get a full weekend to get the new garage sorted, but will do an update asap.
Cheers,

OK folks I'm after..
Rear window seal with chrome trim.
Speedo cable
T5 bellhousing
LSD
Tidy alloys (Revolution, Alley Cats etc)
Any help appreciated.
Hi Corin,
Good to hear that you have bought a classic...
The rear window seal I got from Tom & Jerrys (David Geralds), the right stuff but not cheap. Is the T5 belhousing for a Essex V6, if so Swaymar made some a few years ago, you need to look for a secondhand one as they were not cheap (circa £400 new). LSD conversion is the LSD version of the sailsbury diff fitted to later cars. Alloys take your pick, a mate got some minilite style wheels recently in 16" which he plans to fit modern tyres too.
Cheers

The main difficulty in finding wheels is the close to zero offset - modern cars are close to 50mm +/- 20mm.
Try to find: PCD 4.5" or 114.3mm ET minus 7/16" or 11.1mm for a 7.5" rim width.
Tyres: Front - 215/55/16 Rear - 225/55/16
Foot notes: 1/. standard rims are 6", ET minus 3/32" (2.4mm) with 185R14 tyres.
2/. 7" rim width would require an ET of minus 5/16" or 7.9mm
3/. You can mess about with tyre sizes all day. I would say the 215/55/16 front not the 205/55/16. Any of the three tyre sizes so
far will fit onto either of the two rim widths. The 205 is standard on a 7" rim. 235/50/16 is a possibility for the 7.5" rim.
4/. The Cerb also uses the 114.3mm/4.5" PCD, albeit with 5 studs.
