Trying to find out if two elements of my car are standard or have been modified:-
i) My seats have fibre glass textured covers over the hinge points (near the seat leavers on the outside and also on the inside). Other Chims just seem to have a plastic triangle cover. I recently saw a 2000 Chim 500 in Gorners with the same covers as mine. When I took the car to the factory at Blackpool I was told they weren't TVR...is so whoose are they? Cos I've got a broken on.
ii) I ordered a silicon hose kit from ACT and the bottom hose between swan neck pipe and rad is a right angled hose which assumes a right angled feed from the rad (The Bible shows a similiar radiator). On mine the bottom hose pipe comes out straight hence I've got an S shaped bottom hose (If you'll excuse the expression)Have I got a modified/new radiator or did the factory change the rad.
P.S. My otter switch is also in the Rad not the swirl tank or other places
Thanks
