Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Hardtop Glass

« on: July 14, 2017, 15:44:17 »

Does anyone know the donor vehicle for the rear screen used in the earlier series hardtops (i.e. with quarterlights) as shown on this car?
   
   I've taken a pic of the legend on the glass here;
   
   I have another style of hardtop that utilises a Citroen Saxo rear screen and it helpfully has a Citroen logo on it. On this occasion, the glass has an AC logo and I'm really hoping it's not custom made by Starglass! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Bonnet and Bumper Needed!

« on: April 15, 2016, 12:30:37 »

Help! Following a bump in the NEC car park this week, my poor old Ace now needs a new bonnet and bumper. I've heard that there are some composite panels around and just wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction please?
   
   
   Any help much appreciated!

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Steering Rack

« on: June 11, 2015, 22:46:43 »

Does anyone know the donor source for the Ace steering rack please? My ball joint failure has had a knock on effect of blowing the seals on my steering rack, and I'm looking to buy a seal kit. Neil Fisher believes that an AC supplier used to make up 'copy' Ford racks. However, mine has a Volvo logo with the number "34003798" in the casting. It's likely that AC varied the racks on the last few cars, of which mine is DE1102. Once again, any help is much appreciated!

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Front Lower Ball Joint

« on: June 05, 2015, 13:45:15 »

Does anyone know what ball joint AC used on the Ace front lower hub to track control arm please? I had a spectacular failure in Brighton yesterday and the garage I was recovered to are scratching their heads. I was told by the former owner it was likely to be Granada Scorpio but this is not the case. If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful!
