Seat back rake adjuster is an x1/9 part on my wedge.
It has broken but they are like rocking horse poo to find, when I take the seats out to replace the foam I will get my mate to weld it back together
Doesn't that imply the seats are X1/9? It would be odd to cobble up a seat from rare bits to make a uniquely rare seat.It has broken but they are like rocking horse poo to find, when I take the seats out to replace the foam I will get my mate to weld it back together

Dicky, you have just stumbled upon the TVR design philosophy. "Cobble them up & make them unique and rare!"
I think they built the seats in-house, or they may have got another firm to supply them.
I don't think the actual seats are FIAT sourced.
Well deduced Genrobbo - Turkey is the destination. Where the exchange rate has doubled so everything is half the price, or should be - strange though that everyone out there is wanting £ or Euro’s. So to us it’s the same as say a year ago but to them it’s double.
The train stuff is ace, I have often heard the word Loco being used around me so there must be a lot of enthusiasts out there.

Today I am mainly staying awake through sheer bloody mindedness and copious amounts of coffee!!

First customer of the day, £5 in Beijing Russian market. Still going strong after 13 years, A TAG Monaco.
The Monaco was made before TAG were involved so yours is a fake fake you’ve been ripped off hung up like s kipper and treated like a tit. Unsurprisingly.
For a fiver, who cares? (and it's still keeping good time. Beijing time, but hey....).SWTH said:

Well I'm off tomorrow to the land of sun and fake watches. Might even pick myself up one of these for £60 to rave about on the watch thread.
If anyone wants anything fancy let me know and we can settle up in Oxford
You're buying a crash helmet? That'll certainly upset them on the Watch thread.If anyone wants anything fancy let me know and we can settle up in Oxford
Turkey? If you find a decent kebab place I'll have fifteen quids worth. See what they've got in the mixed section and let me know.
No bag of warm salad though thanks. Mind, I think it's more of an Indian thing now.
