Having only just discovered this group I am wondering if the earlier topic of this name ever came to a conclusion. I currently have identified 1041 British car manufacturers (up to 1960). I would be interested to know I am missing any (www.britishmm.co.uk).

IIR anything, the positive becomes negative to start with and then you have a big deal with the earth wires. There was also something about heat sinks and rectifiers -or was that just the good old days?

Does anyone have (or did have) a TR4/A and actually managed to get a couple of small children in the back ? If so where did the roof go ? Thanks in advance Colin M........

A thread on a US newsgroup suggested that things like TR4s had aluminium wiring - or at least that it was common with Lucas electrics on cars of that era. Now I've never seen aluminium wiring on any Lucas equipped car despite just about every one I've owned from the '60s being so. -- *I brake for no apparent reason. Dave Plowman London SW ...

I am soon to get my bumpers and other bits back from the re-chromers and wonder what finish I should apply to the "non-polished" side of the bumpers and overiders, if anything is needed at all. Thanks.

Hi guys, Does anybody know what the laws are on reversing lights? I have a 1974 MK1 Escort XL and I haven't got reversing lights on it and im not sure if there has ever been any on and so I would like to know if by law I need them for this model and age of car. (Just because there arent any on at the moment may not necessarily mean that there has never been any on.) Cheers,

I've a set of blasted Triumph Dolomite Sprint alloys. Question is do I need to use special primer to bond to alloy. I don't want to have to repaint them in a few years when it all flakes off :| thanks Lee

Hi guys, Im wondering if anyone knows the best way to fasten door cards on. I have cut out some new ones for myself without any holes at present but the holes in the door are about 8mm which is a bit too wide for rivets, and screws or bolts will probably look a bit bulky. My best thought so far is to drill new smaller holes in the door and use rivets but can anyone come up with any better...

One of the people I work with has a Stag - BMIH certificate for the originality, rebuilt engine 2,000 miles ago (but, that's about a decade or more)... it hasn't been used for a LONG time, but has been stored under cover. It is apparently original, though, and has good sills, doors etc, but might need wings. It's an automatic.
