Cant seem to find any details on this, found one under the drivers seat can someone provide me with a picture of where on the roof they go and how they are held on?

I'll see if I can find one, hang on

All my original pics were lost when fotango went tits up, I do have a hand sketch (pic) that .Mark (IIRC) drew up I also have a little word document that explains what they do and how they are fitted. I think I still have the template and some neoprene somewhere.

So why are you looking into this topic?

[Red Cabbage]

I think the OP wants to reattach one that has fallen off.

[Big Al.]

Looking back into my archive stuff I see that the original pictures I used were supplied by Rod Cox can't seem to remember is PH username.

Anyone?

[Jon Brown]

Yes looking to replace one and reattach the other assuming it is complete.

Do you know where I can get some Neoprene from?

[Big Al.]

Found the template I think I still have some Neoprene I'll check tomorrow.

Drop me a mail with your address and I'll pop a couple in the post.

IIRC they were glued back on with good o'l evostick contact adhesive.

Thanks, your a legend

What Pistonheads needs is a place we can put these things for download. I've got an electronic copy of the service sheets that I often send people, but if it could just be downloaded that would be fab.

Mark how about the RV8Resources web site ?

and could I trouble you for a copy of the info you have please ?

[.Mark]

RV8R might be an idea

PM Me, and I'll send you a copy of the service card.

To re-attach just use some contact adhesive. I used bicycle inner tube rubber and cut it as its flexible and cheap. Been on 5 or 6 years now and used daily.
I've got a template if you want to e-mail me and i'll send it

I'll have a chat with the admin guys and see if anything is available.

Jon I've cut the ears, I'll pop them in the post.

I don't have these & am having a problem with water ingress, would anyone who has a template supply one to me please?
Never heard of them before, or seen them for that matter, does anyone have a picture in situ?

Many thanks,
Brook.

In all honesty I had my Chim for over 2 years, when I got it it leaked when I sealed the roof and inside the engine bay "properly" it was totally dry, did it have ears no.

HTH.

[.Mark]

They were on mine when I got it - then they fell off. Made no difference.

Would i be ordering African or Indian elephants ears.
