Thankyou so much.

Hi John, thanks so much or the info.
At this rate I could end up with more jacks than I have wheels
It's sounding like maybe there wasn't one specific jack that was supplied as original equipment? Possibly 3 different types? I'm guessing a bit here, so if anybody else would like to have a look at their jack and add the details to this post we might be able to come up with an accurate list for us all to refer to should we ever feel the need to know.
Thanks again for the info John, greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Nick

Hi Luke,
They look great, can I confirm an order for both please. I'll PM you with my address details etc.
With regards to payment, I could pay direct into your account if this works for you? or paypal but Im guessing there are paypal fees?

Many thanks

Kind regards

Hi Michael, Thanks so much for the info.
I have now bought a Shelly 7DL, this fits nicely with the two square shafts which I know are original.
It cost me less than £10 so if it turns out to be incorrect its not a huge problem.
When I'm finally able to reassemble the car and put the spare in the boot etc I can take some measurements and I'll update this post so we should know whether it will fit in the space or not and whether it will physically fit under the car with a flat tyre? In the meantime I might just keep on the look out for an Elliot S414 (and an umbrella! .
Many thanks

Nick

Hi. Hardy Engineering did my Aceca Bristol g.box and overdrive and a Healey 3000 for me . Both times they were excellent!  Pleasure to deal with and very happy with the work.

This is the seat tub ready for the trimmer. As my seats were mising and I've now seen other Acecas with both the bucket type seat and the lower sided seat and in fact one of each (thanks Chris), I could choose the style I wanted and I'm pretty sure that back in the day the norm on the later Aceca would have been the lower sided seat but you could probably specify which ever you preferred. So I've gone for the  bucket style and fingers crossed it will look awesome..... so long as I can squeeze my legs in between the seat and the steering wheel. 🤔.... No more cakes for a while!

Hi Michael,  thanks so much for the info.  I've pretty much got it sorted now, Gerry at Hawk Cars had a pair of seat frames and has very kindly lent me the ally bucket parts and an old foam base and original cover to use as patterns.  I've made up new aluminium bits to match identically and the trimmer is well on the way with the leather now. I'll try and attach some photos.
I'm sure the ones on eBay will help someone, not cheap though.
Thanks again for thinking of me.
All best wishes Nick

Hi Gary, thanks for the info.
I thought this would be the case, I'm not too sure what happens  around the window frame area though, so a photo would be perfect.
kind regards

Hi all, I'm trying to source some Aceca door seals, I'm pretty sure Woolies Trim stock the correct ones but unfortunately I haven't got the originals to compare and also am not too sure how they physically attach to the car.
If anybody could send a a photo of the seals and how they're fitted that would be amazing!
Hoping you can help.
Many thanks
Nick

Just a quick update and to say thank you for all the info. 
I've been in touch with Frederic over the last few weeks, he's a real pleasure to deal with and my new seat runners have now arrived from Belgium.
They are beautiful!  (Thankyou Frederic) I'll try and post some photos in the next few days
Many thanks again  Nick.

PS ...A quick question for all ....on the brake adjusting spanner does the head have to be round going into square or ( providing the tool works )
would we be happy for it to just be square internally with a rounded edge.......this would be a lot easier to machine.

Hi Luke

I would be very happy with square with a rounded edge. Seems much more logical than reshaping a round one.
Many thanks Nick
