Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Clutch Quadrant Replacement

« on: August 26, 2019, 23:05:26 »

I am going to embark on this as its making some odd noises down there!

I know there are threads on this, but some of the links have expired.

I am looking for any detailed instructions to do this on our cars - it's a tight space! Do you need to remove the pedal box to do it right?

Any help much appreciated!!!!

« on: April 15, 2018, 12:51:26 »

I was considering a little project to upgrade the Brake Booster on my MKIV, inspired by fitting a modern Corvette booster to my 69 Camaro. Has anyone done this? Know anything thats an easy fit with minimal rework?
All thoughts most welcome.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Trunk / Boot lid interior

« on: October 15, 2017, 13:50:07 »

OK I am coming to the end of my MKIV rebuild. When I got the car the trunk lid interior material was lying on the floor and the number plate light wire was dangling into the space. I'm trying to figure out what order these things go on.
   Does the wire attach to the trunk lid and then the material covers it all?
   Or does the material attach to the trunk lid and then the wire attaches on the outside?
   Any pictures would be great.
   Thanks

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Throttle / Accelerator Cable

« on: April 29, 2017, 13:21:48 »

Hi all,
   Just to say if you are looking for a new throttle cable, Speedy Cables in Swansea did an excellent job for me, matching the original for 30 UK pounds. Took about two weeks. Thanks to Alan Faulkner Stevens for the excellent tip.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Electrical Questions

« on: March 08, 2017, 22:51:25 »

Hi all,
   
   I have completed my electrical restoration of my early MKIV - made harder by someone butchering a load of wires at some point.
   Anyway I am down to 2 questions and hoping for help.
   
   1. I have a mysterious spare white wire. It leaves the fuse block, goes out the side of the enclosure into the wing area where the side vents are, heads upwards and then comes back into the inside of the car close to the wiper motor. The mystery is that I just have a bare live wire and can't see what its was meant to connect to. Any ideas?
   
   2. I have a ldoor buzzer circuit on the drivers side, but I can't for the life of me find any door switches..Are they hidden somewhere and I am missing the obvious? Or was it fitted and not used? It is beside the seat belt buzzer which does work.
   
   THANKS!!!!

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / JBA Shorty Headers Clearance

« on: February 07, 2017, 00:12:05 »

Hi all,
   This has been covered a bit, but I am fitting JBA shorty headers on Left hand drive 1985 MKIV. The passenger side fit really nice.
   Drivers side appear very tight.
   Some post seem to indicate they had to cut them. others seem to have got them to fit.
   Any advice would be amazing.
   Thanks
