This all depends on where in the world you live. Here in the UK, "Vintage" is a fairly well defined term for cars built before 1930. By comparison, "Classic" has no such precise definition here, som

Hi Graham. Depending on who replaced the UJs, it's quite possible (even likely?) that they've been set loose, as on the propshaft. Oversize circlips (thick) need to be used to set the joints tight.

There are all-metal UJ type steering couplings available, these do not need a wire link as they have no insulating rubber components. No more expensive than the original coupling, and still a genuin

The quality of currently available rotor arms is certainly questionable. Before anyone suggests buying those from a specific manufacturer, they all come from the same source, irrespective of what la

Hi Steve, VAT is payable on used parts, provided the business selling the parts is registered for VAT. Part time and smaller businesses with low turnover don't have to register for VAT, so it won't

I'm in the UK, so the legalities in the US will be completely different, but here is my experience on replacement brake lines. In the UK it is almost unheard of to replace brake lines with steel. Re

Scuderia means stable, more appropriate for a racing team rather than a manufacturer/designer. Stabilimenti/stabilimento I understand to mean "works" ("werke" in BMW). That's about the extent of my

As well as the difference in terminal arrangements, there are differences in the screw threads. Triumph were using switches with 3/8" UNF thread on some cars, and 27 NPTF threads on others. Cheers,

A little I can add to this. Bearings supplied under the County brand name are also made by King. The tri-metal bearings are described simply as "heavy duty" in the County listings. Cheers, Bill. ==
