Hi - I feel as if I could write a book on this. Sandy has kindly helped me out with the loan of a replacement. My Magneton is also cooked and has been with an auto electrician for weeks whilst he looks for replacement field coils. I've borrowed Sandy's Bosch starter which has been fine but needs the larger spacer (i've used washers with no probs for the last 3 weeks). According to the auto electrician he believes the Magneton with separate field coils is not the best application given the 7s vibration and heat issues. He rates the Bosch with fixed magnets as a more robust solution. The part number for the Bosch is 0986018240 (ex Scorpio and Sierra 2.0/2.9). I've ordered a new replacement for £78 from a mate. Wood Autos in Huddersfield will have one at c.£78 + VAT plus £ 7 postage....or your local scrap yard may have dying Ford's you could get a couple from....don't forget the bigger spacer though (or washers) Rog

BTTT - head rest will also fit std roll bar

Rich I was about to skip the offside one that suffered a bit of a bend at Cadwell last year do you want a pic? Rog

headrest previously fitted to 'Tall' FIA Bar here £20 Lucas Ignition Amp - from previous xflow car - £10 will be at Llandow Sat if that helps Rog

...and so the project begins 😬 😬 😬

Hi I've got an old Lucas starter that came with an xflow engine I bought 2 years back. I already had a spare starter so didn't need to fit it happy to take some pics if that helps - in fact I'd just need to check it works..... Rog

Hey Warren - wow no mention of this the last time we met at the Grindleford Cafe! - good luck with the new venture.........and of course you'll always be famous for the clip of your mum's first trip in the 7. look forward to seeing you in the new 7 - sometime in the near future Rog

as ever....thx again Geoff and team. Perfect day and a couple of decent blats to and from the circuit. I even managed to keep the car on the track at Barn 😬

glad to hear you're out and about Dusty I'm back with the brooklands (thx Mr C) and half doors Rog

Hi - is the starer motor a Magenton part number ending 9141 380? - if so please advise price cheers Rog

Hi I found these items for sale whilst looking for a new scuttle. I've bought the scuttle but noted the gearbox for sale Rog here

coincidentally I've been looking for the same thing. I'll drop Joachim @MOG an email and see if he still has any Rog

Hi tbird - no email yet. to clarify my email is rogn3112@aol.com Rog - thanks again

top man thanks - if you BM his contact number to me - I'd prefer my friend to call your bro as its for his car and he can have a better technical discussion. Understand ref his partner - hope they're better soon My friend's name is Bryan Pope Rog

a long shot i know. On behalf of a friend who is restoring a 1972MGB which he's planning to turn into more of a Sebring spec. According to him (and he's far more technically competent than I) - he cannot use the 5 speeder from a Range Rover/Defender due to configuration for the transfer box etc. Also he knows the box was fitted to LDV vans but the bell housing is wrong.... Apparently the Rover SD1 Vitesse was the ideal configuration so anyone know of hoards of V8 SD1s that have been left lying round ..please BM me Rog

H JF - any more updates? Rog
